Updates: AICN reports that Michael Bay has spoken after fans judged him for changing the origins of the turtles from radioactive Amphibians to an an alien race. | AICN has a quote from director Jonathan Liebesman, who states that the expansion of the story (changing the origins of the turtles from radioactive Amphibians) is not Michael Bay’s idea; it’s actually from creator Kevin Eastman’s head.
The title of the film has been shortened to Ninja Turtles. | Despite Paramount pulling out of the project, Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, recently told MTV: “From what I’ve seen, it’s easily the best Turtle movie yet, we’re talking Raid: Redemption-style fight scenes; we’re talking about epic Rise of the Planet of the Apes sort of effects.”
Collider has posted the first photos of Megan Fox as April O’Neil. | Film Combat Syndicate for some photos of the turtles in their pre-CGI renditions. | In an interview with Huffpost TV, William Fichtner revealed that he will be playing Shredder in the reboot.
In a story from Collider, William Fichtner says, “It’s not like any Mutant Ninja Turtles thing you’ve ever seen before. It’s freaky, they’re cool, and they’re mutants and they look awesome. It’s tough and it’s going to be really, really great.” | Want to see what the Turtles and Shredder will look like? Click here.

If they are basing it off the original Turtles than this film should be an R rating with lots of blood, cussing, and boobs. But you know Hollywood, they will alter it to cater to the wider audience most likely.
Amen. I used to own some of the old Mirage Studios comic books. They’re everything you described. With Bay, you know that won’t be the case. He’s going to find an excuse to make a HUGE explosion by having a UFO crash into the Empire State building or something, which explains why he changes them from mutants to aliens. He’ll probably throw in a couple of transforming robots. And Shia Labeouf will probably be Casey Jones.
I was so glad to read the news they canceled it, but when they said it will be delayed I felt a sickness in my stomach. If they want to make this a good movie they need to go back to the original roots, and make it hard R like it’s suppossed to be. And forget about this ALien Bullshit man, I don’t know what kind of crack Bay is smoking but it’s not something I’d want to try.
I heard it’s just called “Ninja Turtles” now.
“While it initially appeared that Paramount was pulling the plug on Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot due to a weak script that the studio had zero confidence in, it now looks like the movie has only been delayed from its December 2013 release date to Summer 2014 in order to get the screenplay up to shape.”
-points finger at michael bay… HAHAHA! fail…
ew megan fox is too foxy to play april. she should really consider doing porn.
They are REALLY making it hard for me to like this……………
You know, looking at the new trailer, I think this may come off being pretty good………….And that little easter egg from it mentioning that the turtles might be aliens? Looks like they won’t be aliens after all, so that took a huge load off my mind. And I guess we also can rule out William Fitchner being The Shredder.
