New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles poster unwittingly contains 9/11 reference
Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be released in August in North America, but the film won't be released in Australia until September. September 11, to be precise.
The poster was released — and retracted — by Paramount's Australia branch, and it depicts the turtles jumping out of a burning New York skyscraper. The problem? The poster also includes the film's Australia release date below the image.
Check out the poster in question below. --Meghan DeMaria
