I am not one for rumor mongering, so when this started floating its way around the inter-tubes, I was reluctant to post it here. HOwever; after the metric-butt-ton of emails I have recieved on the topic, I have decided to mention it.
About a week ago, rumors started a-flyin’ around the interwebs that this is a photo of a sculpt for the turtles for the next movie. Reception of this “news” have been very mixed. Some people hate the piece as it is such a huge departure from the “classic” turtles. Others love it, assuming that this is a solid sign of an edgier film.
Personally, I think it is unlikely that this is a head sculpt, as it has been noted on MANY occasions that the next movie will feature facial replacement technology (i.e. PotC’s Davy Jones).
I’ll work on trying to get some sort of confirmation from the studios, but until then, take this with a giant grain of salt.
