Evan Daugherty is a secret, behind-the-scenes talent. The St. Mark’s grad wrote Snow White and the Huntsman, Divergent, and the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Here’s what you need to know from Verge.com.
How he researched the movie:
“I rewatched all the Ninja Turtles movies again, for sure. And some more iconic animated episodes. Have you ever seen Shredder’s Mother?”
His advice:
“I’d recommend everyone go see Shredder’s Mother. I can’t remember if she wants him to be a good guy, or if he’s not being bad enough, but she’s in a nursing home bossing Shredder around. Anyway, a lot of the fun of the movie was being in New York. So leading up to the production, you get to go to the actual set — like when they shut down the Bowling Green subway station in Lower Manhattan, I was able to get in there and tweak the scene a little bit based on the geography of the location. This was the first one that’s properly shot in New York, which is an admirable thing.”
