TMNT Recasts Leo and Master Splinter!

Deadline reports that Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk) have been cast to voice the characters of Leonardo and Master Splinter. Knoxville will being providing his voice to Pete Plozek's (Shameless) motion capture performance as the leader of the turtles Leonardo. While Shalhoub will voice over Danny Woodburn's (Seinfeld) motion capture of Splinter. It is unknown whether these actors knew that they would only be doing the motion capture. That really must suck. Michael Bay coming up to you and saying that your acting doesn't fit into his movie. That's how you know you have hit the bottom. This report comes amid reshoots with Megan Fox and Will Arnett's characters and rumors of pushing back the release date back further. So lots of things need to get done before we get to see our favorite heroes in the half-shell eat some product friendly Pizza Hut pies.  TMNT is still expected to be released August 8th.
