"Ninja Turtles" Star Alan Ritchson Talks About Nickelodeon Movies' And Paramount Pictures' Upcoming TMNT Movie At The 2013 MTV Movie Awards

The Heat Vision movie news blog on the official The Hollywood Reporter website has unveiled an exclusive interview they recently held with the American actor, singer, and fashion model Alan Ritchson ("Smallville", "Blue Mountain State") while he was on the red carpet attending the recent 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday 14th April 2013, where he talks about Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures' upcoming new "Ninja Turtles" movie, in which he plays the Heroe in a Half Shell Raphael, which is due to be released in theaters around the USA on Friday 6th June 2014, in which he talks about how great the movie will be! In the interview, Alan Ritchson also talks about co-starring with Megan Fox, who plays April O'Neil, the human friend of the Ninja Turtles, in Nick & Paramount's live-action/CGI film, the movies action sequences, and about playing a character from his childhood:

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Star Alan Ritchson Defends Film (Video)

"I think people assume they know what it's going to be about, and those people are wrong," Ritchson, who’ll play Raphael, tells THR.

At the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, there were plenty of stars from the big films of the past year, including The Avengers. But among the seasoned superhero actors was Alan Ritchson, who will star in an upcoming film as a different type of hero -- in a half shell. Ritchson, whose credits include TV's Smallville and Blue Mountain State, will play Raphael in the upcoming live-action/CGI film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. "There's just a lot of technology involved. So there are kinks to work out," says Ritchson of the process of shooting a hybrid of live action and CG for the Michael Bay-produced project. PHOTOS: MTV Movie Awards: Selena Gomez, Joss Whedon, Kim Kardashian Hit the Red Carpet The film, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, also will star Megan Fox as April O’Neil, the human friend of the Ninja Turtles. "We're running around Manhattan, me and Megan Fox, her looking wonderful and me looking like some kind of ant with cameras all over my face," says Ritchson of the process of shooting the film. The film already has gotten a lot of attention for rebooting the beloved comic book characters. It's more of a curse than a blessing for Ritchson. "The frustrating thing for me since I've signed on is that you hear that it's already got a reputation," he tells THR. "I think people assume they know what it's going to be about, and those people are wrong. The assumptions, everything you read online is wrong. "You want to tell everybody how great it is, and you can't really say why, but it is," he adds.

"We're learning a lot of the fight choreography," he said. "We've got these unbelievable stunt trainers that work us every day to the bone. It's been a great process." The Paramount film hits theaters June 6, 2014. Watch THR's interview with Ritchson above. [...] TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Big Time Rush's Letter to Fans: James and Kendall Write Ultra-Personal Post for AOL Music

Posted on Apr 17th 2013 2:15PM by James Maslow and Kendall Schmidt [...]


Gino DePinto, AOL
What up Rushers?!

We decided to stop by AOL Music today and thought we'd write a little letter to the best fans in the world. That's you, btw ... our Rushers! So we have lots of new updates -- tons of fun and exciting things going on in the world of BTR and I think we should share them with you. Cool beans?

First off, our brand new album! Though we don't know the "exact" date of when it will be available, we're just going to say early June. However, we promise that we will know very soon and you all will be the first to know! But let us tell you, it will be awesome! Imagine an album full of awesome ... sauce! With awesome bacon-songs? And lots of red velvety lyrics. LOL (but seriously).

Second, the 4th season of "Big Time Rush"! This fantastic collection of hilarity and moving pictures shall begin May 2nd on Nickelodeon! We are calling it Big Time Thursdays and will have new episodes EVERY Thursday! We suggest you watch, laugh and enjoy the comedic adventures of four very handsome gentlemen who play hockey (on rare occasion), sing awesome-sauce tunes and get into the occasional bit of mischief. What a fantastic combination, if we do say so ourselves.

Third, the Summer Break Tour!!! We are indeed hitting the road once more this summer, and hope to see you there! The tour kicks off June 21st and if you don't happen to have a set of tickets in your hand at the moment, I suggest you go to www.summerbreaktour.com and get some now! Our friend Victoria Justice will be along for the ride along with Jackson Guthy and Olivia Somerlyn, so expect a TON of great music!

And last, but certainly not least, we want to take this opportunity to thank you guys, the fans. We would not be here, sitting at this desk, in this building, typing on this keyboard and writing this letter were it not for you guys. Nor would we be able to make a fun TV show, or travel the world playing music for amazing fans just like you. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for always supporting us and helping us to achieve our dreams. We love you all!!!

Peace, love and rock n' roll,

James and Kendall
BTR
