I loved TMNT as a kid....I don't know if reviving it will be such a great thing though, at least for me.

Darth Ledger

I used to like it way back when, but idk about this... doesn't really spark my interest.

Kranen

Revive?!?!

More like blow them up.

RyGuy

Revive?!?!

More like blow them up.

LOL! Thats EXACTLY what I was gonna put man hahaha

I foresee this project to be a disaster...

Henrick

A better title for the thread would be:"Michael Bay to fuck with Ninja Turtles"?

Bay won't be directing it guys. It's his production company, and this is old news, Brad Fuller the producer has been talking about this on Twitter for quite some time.

Cool! I'll see it.

Liz

I have 2 boys (ages 5 and 10) so I will, more than likely, being seeing this movie. I just hope it isn't bad, because than I will be a sad panda....

He isn't?

Well, then there's potential for it not to suck.

Talking about Micheal Bay makes me wondering what would have happened if he directed DH2...
-2 hours of battle, 1 min of prince tale, no resurection stone...

But anyway, I hope he won't destroy this saga that I loved as a kid.

All that would be left in Hogwarts is the courtyard. The rest would have been destroyed by Voldemort who learnt how to cast "atomic bomb" spell.

Walks off and kills herself

no but seriously. Ugh Bay is crap. Every other tmnt film has been junk. Nothing compares to the original series that I grew up with

Bane

He isn't?

Nope. Michael Bay owns a production company called Platinum Dunes. One of the producers is Brad Fuller. They've been doing a lot of horror remakes like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, both of which I liked, as well as Texas Chainsaw and some other smaller films. On the actual film production side, Michael Bay doesn't have anything to do with them apart from reading scripts and giving the green light, stuff like that, just background things. He won't go near the writing or directing aspects.

It's kind of like how people believe that Guillermo del Toro directed The Orphanage. He only produced it, but the trailers say "from Guillermo del Toro" because people recognize the name and not the name of the actual director. It's a very, very annoying and common mistake.

RyGuy

Ive ran into people saying how "9" was directed by Tim Burton when it was only produced by him -_-

yonythemoony

Same happened when Henry Sellick directed The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Richard

well the title does say "TIM BURTON's nightmare before xmas" lolol

yonythemoony

All the films and series have the names of their producers in the title. Like Steven Spielberg presents Taken.

aaron

Peter Jackson Presents District 9 (A Film by Neill Blonkamp.)

Bane

Christopher Nolan presents The Dark Knight (A Film by Heath Ledger)

Toini01

Steven Spielberg presents Super 8 (a film by J.J Abrams)

Heard about this yesterday, soon as I saw the name 'Michael Bay' and even more about them being 'aliens' I was like....riiight. I know people were upset with the Transformers reboot but...seriously you can't really screw that up (well...he didn't till the 2nd and 3rd movies where they were no longer about being 'in hideing'). TMNT however...should just stay in the 80's and 90's especially away from his hands. If he wants a franchise about explosions and aliens he should find a video game franchise to ruin that has little to no plot to mess up (hello timesplitters...oh wait he probably can't handle time travel)

Michael FUCKING Bay! The balls on this guy. I love it.

"Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world.

Michael "

Bane

The turtles being aliens isn't the reason people should be upset. People should be upset because Jonathan Liebesman is directing it.

RyGuy

So now they apparently are going to look like samurais? lmao

Producer Michael Bay has created controversy just by having his name connected to the remake of “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise. Now “Ninja Turtles” co-creator Kevin Eastman has sketched an illustration of what the newly imagined turtles might look like.

Wearing more armor and sporting more weapons than one of King Arthur’s knights, the metal suit resembles a samurai more than a ninja, which actually plays against the newly christened “Ninja Turtle’s” title. Some sites are comparing the illustration to a Transformer in reference to producer Michael Bay’s robot trilogy background.

The sketch was sent as a gift to hip-hop artist Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi) by homies Andrew Form and Brad Fuller at Platinum Dunes. Cudi may be involved with Michael Bay’s “Ninja Turtles” reboot. He also tweeted:

“To everyone with doubts & concerns about the new TMNT reboot, trust me, there is NOTHING to worry about. Trust. Everyone will be pleased!”

“Ninja Turtles” will be released by Paramount Pictures under the Nickelodeon Movies label on December 25th, 2013. Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec are writing the screenplay based on characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Jonathan Liebesman (“Wrath of the Titans”) directs.

lmao hahaha. It is my personal favorite Tim Burton film. In fact I may go ahead and watch it right meow :3

Bane

People are taking little things and clearly expressing that they have no idea what they're talking about.

I'm skeptical about the film, but not for ANY of the reasons people are shitting the bed over.

1. Michael Bay is not the director
2. Michael Bay is not the writer
3. whether they're aliens or mutants, who honestly thinks that has any effect on the actual quality of the movie?
4. Kevin Eastman (the original creator) is HEAVILY involved in the process and thinks that they're doing some awesome things with it

Leaked concept art and the turtles being aliens aren't going to have any influence on the film whatsoever. People need to be more concerned about the fact that Jonathan Liebesman is directing it. That is a legitimate, bona fide reason to be worried. For some stupid reason everyone keeps yelling at Michael Bay, when Michael Bay will merely act as a producer because its being made under his production studio. The actual producers, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, are not Michael Bay.

Just clearing that up. Again I have little faith in the movie, but at least my skepticism comes from realistic and factual evidence and not from internet circle-jerk bitching.

Bane

Also, the sketch isn't bad. At all. In fact it looks pretty cool. Fanboys are just upset because it's not "the same" as their precious childhood memories. I've been a fan of TMNT since practically my own conception, and nothing I've heard about the film sounds bad at all. It's the execution that will matter, and again Michael Bay won't have much in the way of any practical or important influence. If the movie sucks, it will be because of Jonathan Liebesman. If it weren't for him, I'd be more excited.

Henrick

"Merely" act as a producer?

Man, have you ever asked yourself why the producers receive the Oscar of Best Picture instead of the directors? They strictly control everything about it and they have the final word. So, don't try to save Michal Bay ass, because it was his decision to make an adaptation and you can be sure that his opinion counts a lot.

Henrick

And yes, he is one of the producers of the movie. Just check IMDB.

RyGuy

I wont end up seeing it anyways, even if it has a glorious director. Ive never been into tmnt to be honest lol.

That's true, but I maintain the philosophy that its the actual filmmakers, on the set, calling the shots and the execution, that matters way more. Some producers are more involved than others. David Heyman for example. But Michael Bay has so much going on that I seriously doubt that he will have much of an influence on the film. His production company has already did a lot of films and from behind the scenes stuff, Bay rarely involves himself to any important capacity.

Henrick

Hahahaha. Man, from his declarations, I would say he is already too involved. He has been basically the voice of the film.

NumberEight

Is Bay not an executive producer?

NumberEight

the funniest thing is that the premise already in existence is so fucking stupid. You can't make that shit any worse.
