There is next to no footage in this one, but that's why they call it a teaser. I really ought to try and watch the three seasons of the original cartoon sometime in the next year. I hear it's terrific and I'm usually a sucker for anything that Andrea Romano does voice casting for. The film comes out on July 2nd, 2010, so it has more than a year to explain away the controversy involving the
'whitewashing' of its cast (ie - casting white actors to play Asian heroes). Granted, Mark Wahlberg aside, M. Night's casting is second to none, but it almost seems like the producers went out of their way to inflame racial animosity and/or piss off the hardcore fan base that this film will need to survive. We'll see...
