Lean, Green and Back on the Screen
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans are eating pretty well lately. Late last year, the whole 90s trilogy was remastered and released in a new 4K Blu-ray collection. Now, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, the movie will head back into theaters in 4K, just as the original did a few months ago.
For this re-release, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze will be showing in theatres in a newly restored 4K presentation. In addition to the feature, “the anniversary event will include a never-before-seen featurette, The Ninja Turtles: Revolutions, appearing before the movie—step into the mind of TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman, joining him on a vision through the past. Sit down alongside the icon at his personal drawing desk while he illustrates through the revolving history and mythos of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles legend.“
Featurette Trailer
Rotten Tomatoes has now released a featurette trailer for the re-release. Before the film starts, audiences will be treated to some extra content with Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman. Eastman talks about the major influences that got him into the comic world and some of the development details for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II. He reveals that when brainstorming ideas for the 1991 sequel, they knew that they wanted to bring in more mutants and toyed with the notion of setting the film in Florida to work in characters like Leatherhead (a mutated alligator) and Clawface (a mutated crawfish). You’ll be able to hear more in the fuller segment when Secret of the Ooze gets back on the big screen from March 13 through the 19.
Synopsis
Directed by Michael Pressman from a screenplay written by Todd W. Langen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze has the following synopsis: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mark Caso, Michelan Sisti, Leif Tilden, Kenn Troum) again battle their archenemy, the rogue ninja Shredder (Francois Chau). Shredder attempts revenge by obtaining the same radioactive ooze that created the Turtles and unleashing two new monstrous mutants: Tokka, an oversized snapping turtle, and Rahzar, a fearsome wolf-like creature. When Shredder plans to use the remaining ooze on himself, the Turtles must harness their ninja fighting skills to stop him.
