So, yeah. What's new? Oh, right. This, from Michael Bay's website:
TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!
I guess he doesn't mind being compared to Hitler when a hot chick does it. Now, do we assume she's playing April? I guess I just did.
Have at it in comments, y'all.

They should just go ahead and hire the RiffTrax guys to do their thing for the official release. Just dub it right into the film's audio track. That's going to be the only way it's worth watching, anyway.

Ladies and Gentlemen I do believe we might have a Ninja Turtles movie that is worse then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.

at least this time michel will be only producing so fans should just wait to see the finish product for michel may wind up making the turtles get their old glory back screen wise.
guees megan proably figured she needed to get back in the spotlight thus making a deal with the devil known as michel bay. and thus another icon falls to the power of michel bays mind . wonder which turtle will get blown up first

I think it's time to kill Michael Bay. He's doing this on purpose. Damn all the idiots who went to see Bay's TF films. You gave him the power. May you all experience spontaneous human combustion.
We were hoping for a worthy revisit to the TMNT universe, but now it continues to get even worse than 4. TMNT 3 was lousy. TMNT 4 was equally lousy in a different way. I guess we'll never see another TMNT film as good as the first one from 1990. The 1990 director took the material and actors seriously. I guess that's too much to ask.

okay, I stopped watching the TMNT movies after #3, having Micheal Bay in any way shape or form associated with the new one just means I wouldn't even rent it from Redbox or download it. Why the fuck would Megan Fox go back to the man who fired her before Revenge of the Fallen? Is she that hard up for money or stupid to think people care about her "acting"?
You people do realize that Micheal Bay was hired as a producer for the potential Ninja Turtles movie, right? He's not the director. And that the idea to make them aliens wasn't him either - he's not, and never has been, a writer.
I get that a great deal of the hate toward him is justified, but a great deal more of it really isn't. I'm really sick of everyone blaming Bay for every goddamned thing that happens in a movie he's involved in, even a movie that he's not in charge of, with a story decision that had nothing to do with him.
So Bay didn't have a hand in writing that script that caught so much flak earlier this year? I remember him having at least a little bit to do with it. I suppose all the places that reported about it could have just attached his name to it for a good headline though.

@alexr5; Unless it's a respectable director, this film will be awful. Why? Because Michael Bay is producing. Any film based on another source material that Michael Bay has a say in will be lousy. If a respectable director helms the film, then he may be able to have reasonable talks with Bay about how not to make such an atrocious film.
@AshestoDust @alexr5 Well, good news then - he doesn't have a say in making the movie. His job is to find talent, raise funds, and find distributors. That's it. There's no need to sit down and talk to him because he's not making this movie (although it certainly wouldn't hurt if he did).
@Canadian.Scott @alexr5 @AshestoDust It falls on A producer, yes. Wither it falls on Micheal Bay, who is only one of the many producers on the film, is a different matter entirely.
@alexr5@Canadian.Scott@AshestoDustI value your agrument...But this production has been often delayed and can only mean that the studio is having issues with the movie which falls on the Producer of the movie.

@Canadian.Scott @alexr5 @AshestoDust Are you kidding? They're making the Turtles into aliens! Stanly Krubik could be directing this movie and it would still be a piece of shit.
I'm just pointing out that by blaming Micheal Bay for this when he's neither the writer or the director is letting the people we should really be calling out get away with this crap.
@alexr5 @AshestoDust Wait, so if Michael Bay did make this movie you would be okay with it?

@alexr5 Alright Michael Bay, you said your piece. And let me guess, you think George Lucas was great for the Star Wars prequels too?
@Canadian.Scott Of course not, don't be stupid.
Look, all I'm saying is if we're going to blame someone for this crap, how about we blame Jonathon Libesman, the actual director in charge of the picture? Or how about Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemic, the guys who actually wrote the screenplay.
We all hated the transformers movies, and I'm sure as hell not saying Bay is a good director. But when we scapegoat him for everything that's terrible about them, we let the shitty writers and directors who also have a hand in this get off Scott free.

Here's the thing: Michael Bay is poison. I don't care what his involvement level is, he's the fucking opposite of intelligence and creativity, and his stink causes everything he gets near to turn into a bubbling bowl of wet shit.
And to make matters worse, he thinks he's the greatest guy in the world. His arrogance and egotism knows no bounds. He has a pretty high opinion of himself for a guy who produces such utter crap.
If he weren't such an asshole, people wouldn't blame him as much, but since HE seems to want to take all the credit, WE give him all the 'credit' he seeks.
In my opinion, his very presence makes the world a worse place to live in. He is to art and intelligence as Hitler was to humanitarianism and racial tolerance. If Michael Bay were to be shot into the sun tomorrow, the entertainment world would improve 12% in a single day.
@alexr5 @Canadian.Scott Bay also produced the Transformers films, plus producers get final cut. Check out interviews made with the Thing prequel's writer's and director before the film was released sometime. All the good idea's they talk about were thrown out the window at the last moment (with money on unused effects already spent by the way) by the producers.
While I generally agree with the idea of waiting to see something before complaining about it. It's been shown that even a film that has a good director using a good script can still suck if you have a bad producer.
Plus Megan Fox has consistently shown that she can't act, which doesn't boost my confidence.

Oh, who cares?
If Bay is doing TMNT, it's going to be a
cinematic abortion no matter who is playing April or whoever. I can't
even summon the enthusiasm to decide if including Megan Fox makes the
final product better or worse, or in the end doesn't even matter at all. Would the world's
best actress be able to salvage a Bay-created TMNT?
Think
back to Transformers. Bay was so incensed that he wrote Fox out and put
in a new bimbo. It mattered exactly how? Transformers had no
integrity to destroy, no continuity worth caring about. If I were Megan
Fox, I would have been touched because Bay's petulant behavior meant he
actually cared about something. Too bad that something doesn't include his movies or the properties they are based on.

I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but I do think Megan Fox has the potential to be an extremely good actress. Unfortunately, she keeps doing these horrendous movies with horrendous directors.
She hasn't paid her dues by doing art house stuff. If she'd do one Howard's End or Fargo, she would go so much further!
That said, she needs to say no to comic book/action films and Michael Bay needs to retire.
