Nostalgic Nebula Entertainment Brings “Ninja Turtles” to Santa Ana!

Published

on

The Frida Cinema was transformed into the gritty streets of 1990 New York City when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was brought back to the big screen. Hosted by Nostalgic Nebula Entertainment, the evening consisted of free pizza, collectible “Foot Clan” T-shirts and headbands, a live musical tribute, and a Q&A following the film with the composer, John Du Prez.
The film was the first ever live-action depiction of the “heroes in a half-shell” and tells the story of Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael; four turtles that mutated after coming into contact with a mysterious green “ooze”. They were raised by Splinter, a mutant rat from Japan who teaches the four brothers the art of ninja so that they may use it to defend the streets of New York.
After the film, composer John Du Prez took the stage to share some behind-the-scenes stories and answer a few questions from the audience. Du Prez shared that he had gotten the job after scoring the critically acclaimed “A Fish Called Wanda” and really knew nothing about the Turtles lore before coming onto the project. He also noted that he had chosen to give the film’s score a bit of an 80’s hip-hop background to fit the culture of New York City at the time, as well as provide a sense of fun amidst all the violence in the film. This notion proved to be successful as he was later told by one of the film’s producers that the film wouldn’t have gotten a U Certificate (The British Film Board equivalent of a “G” rating) had it not been for Du Prez’s music.
Du Prez also shared a few stories of what it was like to work on the second and third TMNT films as well. He humorously delivered an apology for Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap”, claiming that was put in on the insistence of a producer’s teenage son. He also noted that while he’s proud of all the films, he felt the first was his favorite.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
