In another WTF moment in the series of news coming from the sets of Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, William Fichter has confirmed, in this interview, that he indeed plays the Shredder.
Yes i know he is not asian nor a martial artist. Wether he is the rumored Colonel Shrader (a re-imagining of Oruku Saki into a us army general) or the same bad ass ninja master we love remains to be seen.
While Fichtner is a very talented actor, i still feel that this is pretty messed up if you asked me, but we will see how this turns out and won’t jump to conclusion before seeing the movie when it premieres next year.
What do you guys think?
Shredders ethnicity is an essential part of who that character is. I was starting to think this film might not totally crash and burn, but this is pointing me back in that direction. No question, he’s a good actor, just wrong for this role. The only hope I hold into is reminding myself that Bay is only a producer and not the director…
Why do i have the sudden urge to pull down my pants and dump on this script
