Awesome TMNT Fan Film Shows a Darker Side to the Turtle-Shelled Heroes
A must-watch for fans of the half-shell heroes.
The age of creators throwing their names into the ring in order to pitch their visions of beloved IPs is truly upon us.
One such creator is John Likens, an animator who has put together a showreel of sorts, showing his darker vision of the TMNT brand, most specifically, a fight scene featuring Raphael.
“The version of the Ninja Turtles I’ve always wanted to see on the big screen,” explains Likens. “Enter into the darker side of the TMNT universe. A world where brotherhood is tested, violence has consequences, and Raphael’s rage is both his greatest weapon and his greatest flaw.”
Likens added that it’s his goal to work with the TMNT license holders if they find his work interesting. “It’s a long-standing goal of mine to create a TMNT film or episodic series. Paramount Pictures, if you’re listening… let’s talk.”
