The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were round for many years, and thru all of the more than a few interpretations, April O’Neil and Casey Jones were their first (if no longer simplest) human allies. Between the 2 of them, it’s April who has a tendency to get the highlight essentially the most, and Casey has a tendency to turn up later within the tale. However Paramount was once it appears at one level taking into account giving the hockey mask-wearing vigilante his personal house by means of a solo movie.
Jason Eisener, director of Hobo With a Shotgun and the not too long ago launched
Kids vs. Aliens, printed as such by means of Twitter on Friday. He claimed that again in 2018, he pitched a standalone movie to Paramount enthusiastic about Casey. That film would’ve featured Shredder’s daughter Karai and in the end Raphael, who Eisener mentioned would’ve taken visible inspiration from the 1990 movie. What’s extra, the director launched a tone reel for the hypothetical movie, set to “I” by means of Dio and that includes pictures from The Raid 2, Stranger Issues, Goon, and the unique TMNT film.
Whilst the film by no means were given made, the tone reel paints an enchanting (and brutal) image of what a Casey Jones flick may’ve been like. And it sounds adore it may’ve took place had the celebs aligned just a bit bit extra. Responding to Eisener on Twitter, actor Joe Manganiello printed he’d mentioned enjoying Casey for Paramount again right through the 2010s. (Probably, this was once prior to Paramount opted to do the 2 live-action reboot motion pictures the place Casey was once performed by means of Stephen Amell.) “I might’ve mentioned sure to this in a heartbeat,” Manganiello mentioned.
Paramount’s were given an animated TMNT film from Seth Rogen within the works, however since we’re including some grit to youngsters houses at the moment…possibly a Casey Jones solo film isn’t completely out of the query?
