While talking to producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form for Project Almanac, Steve got a brief update on two upcoming Platinum Dunes projects, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and the new Friday the 13th film. We know that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is due in theaters on June 3, 2016 and that Friday the 13th is scheduled for a November 13, 2015 release, but Fuller and Form also revealed when they expect to go into production on them.
From there the conversation shifted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Here’s what Form had to say when Steve brought up the enthusiasm the guys sparked when they announced that Bebop and Rocksteady will make their way into the sequel:
“We designed and we did lots of work on all of them and then only so many fit in the box and luckily we have another chance to make another one of these movies and some of those characters that got cut out of the first one can make it into the second one.”
Form also revealed that the Turtles team will start filming soon:
“We’re in prep right now. We start shooting in New York in April.”
