Hard to understand] in the movie. And then he goes through a few stages in his existence. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>But Turtles is coming together very, very cool. There is a whole interesting dynamic that happens in the world of Turtles and all I can really say about it at this point while working on it is that the Turtle film, it\u2019s not like anything that I remember about the Turtles before. I feel like this Michael Bay-produced movie is just gonna really be something else. I\u2019m pretty excited.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked if\u00a0Eric will be Japanese, Fichtner replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cYou know, uh, you know I think it would be much more exciting to find out these things as it unfolds.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there you have it.
