Paramount: apologies for explosive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 9/11 poster






Paramount Pictures has apologized for its promotional poster for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which shows the action-turtles leaping out of a burning New York sky-scraper, while touting its release date of 9/11 this year.The ill-planned poster was tweeted from Paramount Australia’s twitter account @ParamountAU on Tuesday with the text: “Check out the official poster for #TMNT in cinemas September 11!”

The offending material was swiftly deleted after a barrage of criticism from social media users.
The film is set in New York and the promotional image showed the four turtles; Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, jumping from a tall building that has suffered a large explosion from high up its structure.
