'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Movie News: Johnny Knoxville Debuts As Leonardo; Shredder In Hunting Mood [VIDEO]
For the first time since joining the cast, Johnny Knoxville has finally had his voice featured as Leonardo in the upcoming blockbuster re-boot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The Jackass star joined the cast earlier this year with Tony Shalhoub added as the voice of Splinter. Pete Ploszek played the role of Leonardo during the filming part, while Danny Woodburn played Splinter.
The new trailer features much of the same content seen before with the added voiceover by Knoxville as Leonardo at the beginning. It also features more of a look at the origin of the turtles with shots of Leonardo and the others training. The trailer also offers one of the better looks at this film's version of Shredder, clad in metal, and in a turtle hunting mood.
