'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Premiere Hits Los Angeles [Pictures]

The stars of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot were out in full force on Sunday 3 August for the film’s premiere in Los Angeles. Megan Fox, who plays intrepid reporter April O’Neil, stepped on to the red carpet with her fellow co-stars Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Alan Ritchson and Johnny Knoxville, as well as the film’s producer, Michael Bay.

The film focuses on Shredder and The Foot Clan, who have an iron grip on everything about New York City. The only hope left for the inhabitants comes from four unlikely brothers who rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, before working with O’Neil to restore order back in the city.

Speaking to Digital Spy at Comic-Con, Fox and Arnett, along with writers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form believe that the movie is true to its roots.

"We stayed true to who the Turtles are," said Arnett. "These four distinct characters and the way that they work together as a unit ... that idea, at the core, we did not deviate from."_

Unfortunately, their defences were lost among even more bad press when the promotional poster was released which saw the four turtles hurtling towards the ground from a burning tower, with the date September 11 prominently at the bottom.

Still, Fox remains unperturbed by the criticism of the film so far and hit back at complainers at a recent press conference. "Let me tell you something about those people: how much money did Transformers 4 make? Those people can complain - they all go to the theatre," she said. "They’re going to love it and if they don’t, they can f**k off and that’s the end of that."
