The new poster for the upcoming ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ reboot has sparked some controversy.
Many people were outraged when Paramount Australia released the image on their Twitter and Facebook as it features an exploding skyscraper against a September 11th date (the day the movie opens in Australia).
The studio has apologized in a statement and deleted from their social media platforms.
“We are deeply sorry to have used that artwork for the marketing materials promoting the September 11 opening in Australia. Combining that image and date was a mistake. We intended no offense and have taken immediate action to discontinue its use.”
Megan Fox, Alan Ritchson, Johnny Knoxville, Noel Fisher and Jeremy Howard star in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ which will open here in the States on August 8.
