TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (2014) ... The Shredder / William Fichtner Speaks!

 

  William Fichtner stars as The Shredder in the new reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). Fichtner has always portrayed some very interesting characters over the years, most notably The Accountant in Drive Angry with Nicholas Cage. Currently he can be seen in the TV show Crossing Lines. During a few interviews he dropped some interesting thoughts and tid-bits on the upcoming movie. Here they are:     “It always had sort of a bouncy cartoon feel to me, which is great, that’s why it was appealing.  That’s not this movie….It’s not like any Mutant Ninja Turtles thing you’ve ever seen before. It’s freaky, they’re cool, and they’re mutants and they look awesome. It’s tough and it’s going to be really, really great.”

 

 

“Well I play a guy named Eric Sachs and we find out that Eric Sachs is somebody else too. I can’t give away too much in the story but I can tell you that who Shredder is in the telling of this Turtles is unlike any telling of the story before. His connection and relationship to the turtles is a bit surprising and for an actor playing it, the backstory, which comes out in this film, is really intriguing…We made some changes while filming that I thought are just awesome.”
