Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles director Jeff Rowe reveals why Shredder was cut from the movie as he was originally the villain.
director Jeff Rowe has shared why Shredder was cut from the movie.
This new animated superhero movie from producers/writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg has been doing well with critics. The film is currently sitting at a 95% rating on. It features the four heroes in a half-shell teaming with April O’Neil to take down the Superfly, a mutant who wants to turn the whole city into mutants.
Rowe recently shared more about the decision not to make the Turtles’ most famous villain, Shredder, the antagonist of this film. “In fact, he was in the movie for a long time, for a year and a half,” he told. “And then it just did not work. And we were just banging our head against the wall, and we had two big story problems. One, the Turtles were in high school on page 30, so they got exactly what they wanted way too early.
“And it also meant that the movie was a reset 30 minutes in, which was just broken. And then Shredder was the villain, and it was too big of a character too soon. And you didn’t understand how a crime boss, which is how we were playing him, was connected to these teenagers. And it just got too far away from the most simple essential story, which is teens wanting to fit in – the metaphor being that they are actual mutants and actually shunned by society. It’s not just a feeling for them.
