Last week, a couple of our readers sent us tips about something called Half Shell was filming near Madison Square Garden.
At the time we suspected, and have now confirmed, Half Shell, is the working title of the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel that is scheduled to begin filming in “late” April. Well some blogs are reporting Half Shell is the new film’s official title, we’re hearing it is just a working title for now.
It’s also safe to assume the scene filming near Madison Square Garden was this basketball scene.
Though the movie did film one scene last week, it doesn’t look like principal photography has actually started yet. There are no further extras casting calls posted yet and no other production notices have been spotted.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, aka Half Shell, will once again star Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick and Megan Fox as April.
Be on the look out for more Half Shell production notices around NYC and be sure to let us know if you spot them!
Thanks to Mark & Sam for the scoop, too!
Last week’s NY Post Page 6 reported that yes, they did shoot at Madison Square Garden…
PS–Maybe they were shooting camera/ film tests last week….
Seen the posters on 41st between broadway and 6th, they had a nice srt hellcat production car out there
There were signs up and crews out on 39th between 5th and 6th for “Half Shell” on Monday, 4/27
Stephen Amell posts every day on fB about how he is shooting now. They are shooting night in NYC apparently. I wish this site would find and post the schedule so we could go watch/take pics.
it’s shooting today on Ave B at around 7th street. In a dive bar on the corner.
They are shooting this film at the Marcy ave armory on Marcy ave and lynch in Williamsburg Brooklyn Production trucks are set up all around the block
They have been filming this week in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, on 52nd Street between Second and First Avenues. Lots of trailers, no actual action in view.
thanks!
