Opening Image: Tyson starts his day just like every other. He waked up and pulls down his tmnt sheets to reveal his 90s tmnt pyjamas. He showers, combs his hair and eats his cheerios. Once 9'o clock hits, he is in front of the tv to watch the first tmnt episodes of the day and his tmnt faze begins. After many hours of watching tmnt on the official tmnt channel, Tyson is now off to his job at Apple Bee's. This job isn't a very rewarded career but it gets him by. His life is boring and uneventful. And today at his job he is confronted by his co-worker Nate, who tells him how he needs to get out more, how he isn't getting any younger and needs to move on from his twin brother's death last year.
Theme Stated: Tyson arrived home after a 7 hours shift and sits down in front of his tv, he doesn't turn it on. But just stares deeply into the dark screen. He begins really thinking about what Nate had said earlier. He needs to change, get out there more. Do something exciting. Tyson grins and turns on his tv, to find it is still on the tmnt channel. Just before turning the channel, he decides to watch the commercial that is on. 'Come on this five day adventure of a lifetime, going place to place doing challenges and activities all tmnt based. The winners then will get to meet the creators of tmnt, a trip to Orlando to the premier of the new tmnt movie and the whole discography of the tmnt saga. Contestants must own a car or have a driver, only groups of four or more can enter this contest. To enter into this challenge you must sign up online in the next 24 hours. You will be emailed more details when you enter. This is the first and only announcement for this. If you just happened to here for the viewing of this commercial, bravo. Sign up now if your man enough, to bring the turtle power'. Flipping off the tv, he grabs him laptop and signs onto the tmnt official website and signs up for the contest. This is just what he needs.
Set-Up: The next day he arrives at Nate's apartment very early in the morning to tell him about what he has signed up for. Nate isn't very impressed at what he has done but accepts it and decides he might as well go with him. That's what his best friend would wanted him to do. (Tyson's dead twin brother) Neither of them own a car, so they will have to find a ride to do this contest. After an hour of brainstorming ideas of where to get a car, they post an ad on the tmnt website looking for someone to join their group who has a car. Within twenty minutes, they have find someone. Or someones. Sir Tony and his sidekick Mac Attack. They all agree to meet at the local mall to discuss their game plan and go over the rules together. After meeting Tony and Mac, the father/son duo. They go into the mall's food court and sit down to read over the rules.

Catalyst: After an afternoon of getting to know each other. They all split. Tony and Mac check into a local hotel for the night. While Nate drags Tyson to a house party to celebrate him getting out again. Tyson's brother Tyler had died at a house party. A party that Tyson had refused going to because of a tmnt special premier. That leaves Tyson wondering if he could of saved his brother that night, if only he had gone with him. He could of kept an eye on him and his drinking. And called an ambulance earlier to save him dying from alcohol poisoning. Nate and Tyson go into the house. Within minutes Nate ditches Tyson. Leaving him alone to stand against a wall and watch as everyone else has a good time. Tyson spots a familiar face dancing on the dance floor and she is really good at dancing. He has seen her before or known her somehow. He just can't seem to figure out who she is and it bothers him for the rest of the night as he stands alone watching her.
Debate: Today is the day, that Tyson, Mac, Nate and Tony all go to the tmnt contest as the TMNT TEAM. The first letters of their names just happened to spell out 'TMNT'. All four of them arrive early to get a look at the competition. Many kids appear to be there, but they don't fear them. Just know that they have a good chance at kicking ass in this contest. As a giant white screen comes down from the ceiling and Kevin Eastman is shown on the screen. He tells the crowd a bit about himself and how he looks forward to meeting the winners in Orlando. Tyson is distracted as everyone watches the screen. He is starting to regret signing up for this. He doesn't want to go through with this anymore. Tyson storms out of the place.
Break Into Two: The next day Tyson refuses to come out of his apartment when Nate, Tony and Mac come to get him. Nate tries talking to him, Tony tries talking to him and finally Mac tries talking to him. Tyson gives in when Mac talks to him because he doesn't want to disappoint an eleven year old. They arrive back at the contest to start the competition. A dance competition and no one in there group can dance..well. They will have to create a dance to go with the tmnt theme song and they only have an hour to do it. Tony volunteer to do this event for the team, not guaranteeing they will win.
B Story: Tyson and Nate sit at the side as Tony pathetically tries to create a dance. Tyson sees the same girl from the party approaching them. Nate nudges him as she stands in front of the two of them. Nate stands up and greets her, hugging her. Tyson stands there clueless. She offers them help in the dance competition and says how she was kicked out of her team. They let her do the dancing instead of Tony.
Fun And Games: Moments later it finally hits Tyson. He knows who the girl is. It's Amanda, one of the snobbiest people he has ever met. One of the many people who made his high school years living hell. And he wonders why she is with them. Why she was even at this contest. The dance contest begins when the hour of coming up with a dance ends. Many of the groups suck but when Amanda dances to it, it's one of the best ones. They win and the group feels very confident and invites Amanda to join there group. She agrees. The next day they all drive to the next destination in the next state. And what they have to do is race. On a near by open field there is a track set up in a turtle shaped formation. One of the members must carry the shell shaped weight with a bandana over there eyes as fast as they can. Nate volunteers to do this event. He is strong and feels he probably can't contribute to any other event. There is no preparation and they start right away. Nate puts on the red bandana and straps on the 80 pound weight to his back and stumbles around the track, moving as slow as a turtle. In the end, Nate and a guy by the name of Scott tie. They play rock, paper, scissors to choose who wins. Nate wins, only by chance. Scott isn't impressed and gives Nate a threatening glare towards him.
Midpoint: After the TMNT Team celebrates there victory they go back out to their car and find Scott and his friends standing there. They start insulting Nate. Tyson steps in and they began picking on him instead. There insults start being towards him and then they bring up Tyler and start dissing him.

Cast List and Character Descriptions
Tyson- Michael Cera
Why he should play this part- Michael Cera is good at play characters that have low self esteem and have to somehow learn to be confident. He is also good at playing 'the awkward' type with girls, he doesn't know what to do or say to them. And again, learns from that how to be himself around girls.
Tyson's everyday is the same. His lifestyle is pretty low key. He stopped interacting with people ever since his brother died. He blames himself for part of his death because he chose to stay home an d watch a tmnt premiere then go to a party where his brother died from alcohol poisoning. He works at Apple Bee's and they only person he ever talks to is his brother's best friend and co-worker, Nate. His mother and father both died shortly after the boys were adopted and went in and out of foster homes their whole lives. Tyson had a dream to someday come up with the next best cartoon and envies the teenage mutant ninja turtles. That dream died shortly after his brother. He is now opposite of what he use to be. His biggest problem is he is still grieving over his twin brother's death and can't seem to move on.
Mac- Conner Rayburn
Why he should play this part- Conner Rayburn has been in the acting business for most of his life. Starring on According to Jim from the start of his short life so far. He would be good for this part because he has similar features to Zach. The round face and lively attitude.
Conner is like any typical 11 year old. He is in the fifth grade. He isn't fond of school but what kid really is. He is along for the ride with his dad, Tony. He finds little interest in TMNT but if pretending to like it pleases his dad, he'll do it. He would rather be reading or playing video games. He has a high interest in gaming and the way graphics look. He lives with his father. But hasn't for most of his life. His mother had given up custody last year and now gets to grow up with his father as a role model. His biggest problem is that he isn't liked that much in school and no one out of school knows about it.
Nate- Shia Labeouf
Why he should play this part- Shia Labeouf is very attractive. The person playing this character needs to have great self confidence, be full of himself, think he is better then everyone. Shia is perfect for this role.
Nate is what every girl wants. The looks, strong arms to hold them, sweet voice to be there for him. But Nate is single and doesn't really know why or how to find the perfect girl for him. He works at Apple Bee's along with Tyson. His best friend was Tyson's twin brother, Tyler. He got over his death quickly and moves on with his life. Not that he wants to get over it that fast but that's just the way he is. He rarely feels sad or grieves over anything. Shortly after his 18th birthday he moves out and got his own place. His parents gave him everything he ever wanted when he was younger but when he just moved without notice they did the same, shortly after moving out his parents moved away and told didn't tell him where they went. His biggest problem is that he knows many people but can't seem friends that he can truly count on all the time.
Tony- Zach Galifianakis
Why he should play this part- Zach Galifianakis masters playing characters that are 'dumb' or a child at heart. In this movie, this character needs to be like that. He has to get along with everyone and roll with the flow.
Tony is starting into his forties and has a son by the name of Mac. He got custody when she finally decided to let Tony see him and keep him. Tony gets by on the fortune his step father left for him when he pasted away. He has loved tmnt for most of his life. It was very popular when he was younger and he has never stopped loving it. His biggest problem is woman, he has only loved and been with one woman, Mac's mother.
Amanda- Emma Roberts
Scott- Alex Frost
Amanda- Emma Roberts
Scott- Alex Frost
Target Audience
This movie could be for pretty much anyone. From young kids to older people. TMNT has been around for decades and who doesn't love them. They are mutant turtles that wear bandanas and fight with ninja ambition, all while being a teenager. That's pro. People who do not like them are likely to hate this movie and give it a thumbs down. This movie doesn't have a certain genre.
