Able to tell the difference between Michelangelo and Leonardo, or Donatello and Raphael (their eye masks are a giveaway)? Or maybe you’re new to the heroes in a half-shell? Either way, you should drop what you’re doing and skate your way down to the new – and free – movie pop-up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, on Leake Street (a short walk from Waterloo Station) between July 28-30.
Inspired by the ninjitsu-trained radioactive reptiles’ iconic lair, the sewer-themed space celebrates the foursome’s return to the big screen on July 31. Produced by Seth Rogan, featuring the voices of Jackie Chan and Ice Cube, and music by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, this new look feature-length outing for the turtles is guaranteed to be a winner for old and new fans alike. The story is this. After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a notorious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
But what’s going on in the underground tunnels beneath Waterloo Station? Well, there’s a free, summertime experience that’s perfect for families and big kids. All you have to do is find a time and date that suits you, sign up (either for the daytime sessions or the Lair Lates) and get yourself over there for the fun times to ensue.
From a decked-out arcade area to limited edition prizes, here’s what else is in store…
