Nickelodeon UK To Premiere New TV Movie "Splitting Adam" In May 2015

Nickelodeon UK, the number one commercial kids TV network in the UK, has announced the exciting Nick UK news in a new trailer/promo that Nickelodeon UK and Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK will premiere Nickelodeon's brand-new original TV movie "Splitting Adam", starring Jace Norman ("Henry Danger"), in May 2015!

In the all-new Nick Flick, 15-year-old Adam Baker (Jace Norman) has a jam-packed summer schedule. Between juggling multiple jobs, babysitting his sister and helping Uncle Magic Mitch perfect his magic act, he barely has a moment to sleep, let alone time to pursue his dream girl, Lori. After stumbling across a strange tanning bed his uncle brings home, Adam accidentally clones himself and finds the answer to all his problems--he can create multiple Adams.

In Nick's all-new film, "Splitting Adam", Adam Baker (Jace Norman, "Henry Danger") is the busiest 15-year-old you'll ever meet! Between juggling multiple jobs, babysitting his sister, and helping his uncle perfect his magic act, his summer schedule is jam-packed. And that leaves little room for flirting with his dream girl, Lori (Isabela Moner, "100 Things To Do Before High School"). But after accidentally stumbling into his uncle's mysterious "tanning bed", Adam learns the answer to all of his problems – multiple Adams! With his new collection of clones, Adam is hopping on one wild ride with an epic splash! However, the situation soon spirals out of control when Adam starts feeling weak and learns that if he doesn't merge the clones back into himself, they could all be destroyed—including him!

Michael Bay Unveils First "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" Photos

To celebrate "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", the sequel to Nickelodeon Movies, Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes' 2014 fun-filled and action-packed blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie, starting production soon, Michael Bay, the producer of both "TMNT" movies, has unveiled three fantastic photographs of two of the vehicles that'll be appearing in the film!

That garbage truck, above, is the Ninja Turtles' "Battlewagon", first seen at the end of the last movie. The name – "Tartaruga Brothers" – is a pun, as "tartaruga" is "turtle" in Italian ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is called "Tartarughe Ninja" in Italy). The sports car, below, is a Polaris slingshot, a three-wheeled motorcycle already illegal in Texas, where it isn't street legal as a car and doesn't meet the state's definition of a motorcycle.

It's currently only assumed that the Polaris is intended for "TMNT 2", as it could also be something a vehicle appearing in Bay's other big franchise, though that still-untitled film, due sometime in 2017, doesn't go into production for a while longer yet.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" is due to go into production in New York very, very soon.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", from Platinum Dunes and Nickelodeon Movies, is scheduled for release June 3, 2016. Megan Fox, William Fichtner, and all four of the actors portraying the turtles are returning. Joining them are "Arrow" actor Stephen Amell as the comic series' hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones, and Tyler Perry as evil scientist Baxter Stockman. The movie will also feature fan-favorites Bebop and Rocksteady. Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec are returning to produce and write the script. Dave Green is directing. Paramount is distributing.
