"Leonardo. Michelangelo. Donatello. And Raphael." They're back in all their glorious shell-clad might! Fathom Events has unveiled an exhilarating third (!!) trailer to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the iconic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film, set to grace theaters for a limited run this August. This cinematic gem is a true testament to timeless greatness, a reminder that modern movies seldom capture the magic of yesteryears. This latest promo trailer for the re-release is nothing short of enchanting.
The TMNT anniversary celebration boasts never-before-seen footage, kicked off by an intro from director Steve Barron himself. The accompanying "Turtles Unmasked" featurette, crafted in collaboration with the minds behind "TMNT: Evolution, Mutation & Reboot," offers an exclusive glimpse into the archives. It unearths extended scenes left on the cutting room floor, behind-the-scenes footage, and insightful commentary from Barron, who reminisces about the meticulous journey of bringing the best version of the Turtles to the silver screen.
Starring Brian Tochi as Leonardo, Corey Feldman as Donatello, Josh Pais as Raphael, Robbie Rist as Michelangelo, and Kevin Clash as Splinter, their wise mentor, this original film also features Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas in pivotal roles. Due to overwhelming demand, Fathom Events has added extra screening days. We had previously shared the shorter first trailer a few weeks ago, but now, moviegoers will get to enjoy it on the big screen for five magical days.
Emerging from the shadowy depths of the sewers, the four teenage mutant ninja turtles vow to shield New York City from a masked legion of criminal ninjas. Turtlemania has returned with a vengeance! Brace yourself for one of the most eagerly anticipated movie anniversary celebrations of the year with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – 35th Anniversary," brought to you by Fathom Entertainment.
Directed by Irish-British filmmaker Steve Barron, following his acclaimed "Electric Dreams" (1984) and preceding "Coneheads" (1993) and "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (1996), this film marked his sophomore feature. Though he didn't helm any sequels, his impact on this cinematic classic is undeniable. The screenplay, penned by Todd W. Langen and Bobby Herbeck, is based on the early "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Produced by David Chan, Kim Dawson, and Simon Fields, the movie debuted in theaters in March 1990 and became a phenomenal hit, amassing $135 million at the box office that year, with even greater success worldwide.
Fathom Events will once again reintroduce this beloved 1990 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film to theaters for two nights only – from August 16th to 20th, 2025. For more information and tickets, visit Fathom's official site. Are you a fellow fanatic of these shell-heroes in a half-shell?
