I loved the Foot! When I was a kid watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, and later on the live action films, I thought they were so amazing. I’m excited to announce that Mirage Studio’s developing TMNT remake will include the infamous ninja clan. As we’ve previously reported the new film will focus on the origin of the four main characters. That means the original villain Master Shredder and his Foot crew won’t be far behind. According to /Film, an open casting call has gone out for professional martial artists to audition to be a member of underground organization for the upcoming film.

According to Variety, we can look forward to seeing the Turtles in more live action fair, similar to their early nineties films. The Mirage Group owns the characters and are focusing on a live action reboot scheduled for 2011.
