d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Scrap that story about the Ooze, here's something that's original: http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/michael-bay-taking-mutant-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-202841767.html Michael Bay seems to be at it again: This time the creator of mega-blockbusters is planning to produce a new, live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." But, if he has his way, he may need to change the name to "Not So Mutant" Alien Turtles. Definitely less catchy.The "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" director told a crowd recently at the Nickelodeon Upfront New York event that instead of the series fans have loved about a mutant strain of turtles from earth who are obsessed with pizza and turn into two-footed creatures thanks to some transmutant goo, Bay's reptiles will simply be an alien race. As first called out on the blog StuffWeLike, Bay explained his vision for the 2013 remake: "When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie." Wha? And then, "The turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely loveable."

Sticksboi05 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 F you Michael Bay - you already murdered an 80s kid franchise, now moving on to the 90s. Soon, Phineas and Ferb? (Saturday morning cartoons are dead today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's hard to **** up 80s and 90s Saturday morning cartoons. Sounds like Michael Bay is 2 for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't care so much about this, as TMNT was always a second-tier cartoon/toy franchise to me despite its popularity. Not a lot of depth to the back story or characters (though I was never into comics and the comic books might have been more interesting than the cartoons/movies). Still, it seems that Michael Bay wants to completely ruin the cartoon memories of the generation once removed from him. Typical Baby Boomer, compelled to arrogantly spread his ruinous excesses onto the next generation. His next act will be an explosion-riddled psychological thriller: Vengeance of the Littles. Of course they'll be aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Michael Bay was also reported to have said: "Also, I don't know why they were originally ninjas. That's cute and all, but I've always perfered Samurai, because they have all that armor that can be made to look cool, especially when their steel armor reflects ginormous explosions so well. Also, they will all be played by Shia LeBouf. And at least 1 Shia-Turtle will have a ghetto accent because everybody always thinks that's hilarious when I put that in my movies."

Burgold Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Seriously, it's in the name. If you want to tell a story about loveable turtle aliens... write a new story. That's like doing Superman and deciding he didn't come from Krypton and that kryptonite has no effect on him or redoing Batman, but saying his parents were never killed.

Spaceman Spiff Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't really care one way or another about Michael Bay. His movies are what they are...dumb, summer blockbusters that have solid special effects and lots of explosions. I understand why some people hate him, but let's be honest here...what do you expect? If you're expecting deep plots and awesome acting, of course you're going to be disappointed. I actually liked the first Transformers movie. The 2nd one sucked, never saw the 3rd. But this is going too far. **** off, Michael Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyj Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Kowabunga!! What's next Voltron?(lion) I have tried to like the Transformers, the only one I like was the first, but they did nail Optimus. They left Cybertron in search of energy not a cube. Why can't people stick with the original story? 21 Jump St. was just murdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I love watching how Michael Bay takes a generation or two of absolutely brain-dead goofy-fun toy franchises and presents them at exactly the "big action movie" level they merit at best, makes zillions$$, and then watches as the helpless "fans" of those franchises who hate on him still line up to pay him anyway while gnashing their teeth. Guess what? GI Joe, Transformers,TMNT, etc were all dumbass silly kid **** (like they should be) to begin with. It's just a fantasy in your head that there was ever any "meat" to any of it that should be treated any differently. :evilg: Now DC, Marvel, & Star Wars franchises are generally way more worthy of such sentiment, and while a mixed bag in total body of work cinema-wise, have enjoyed the much higher grade presentation as their content merited. :cool: <honest troll runs and hides :pfft:> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 21 Jump St. was just murdered. 21 Jump St was another absolutely moron-level product we all (over 13 yo) used to ridicule and it just cracks me up seeing people now posit it as though it were Law & Order or CSI. The movie does look even more retarded if that's possible. ---------- Post added March-19th-2012 at 06:02 PM ---------- How dare you talk about GI Joe that way. How DARE you, sir. I can't believe myself sometimes. :pfft: I had an awesome collection of the 12" orignal GI Joes from age 8 to 14. . Over 120 figures with full gear. :cool: Built huge battle scenes for them in and outdoors. Lots of work and detail---mostly badly executed.

mjah Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 He's Gen X though. 1965. Fair enough -- I guess I can't paint him with the Boomer brush. That would make him 22 when the TMNT cartoon first came out. So he's still ruining the younger generation's memories. He must be stopped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you could execute a battlefield scene with original GI Joe's better than Bay could recreate Pearl Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
