Ugh, this is my first time hearing about this movie.

It's like the Mayan Apocalypse, with the forecasting of doom. Already didn't like the first 2 Bay Transformers movies.
 
This is what it would look like.

This hurts my soul.
 
Look at that loser with the backpack.

I know right? Lame backpack, ugly shorts, socks that are too tall so he scrunches them down, balding-but-doesn't-have-the-sense-to-shave-it-clean, and what is likely a shitty gold-plated wrist watch. I'm surprised the face of the watch isn't facing inwards.

He's not directing this, and I enjoyed the Friday the 13th remake. Again, though, the script was pretty dumb also so it's not like this stood a chance any way. I really don't remember April being in it a ton.

Fixed it, jumped the gun on that one. In terms of his productions I liked The Rock, that's about it. I think April was shown pretty sparingly in the old cartoons. With this news, I doubt that will be the case in the movie.

I forgot all about this project.

Anyway, lol, this move pretty much tells you exactly where they're going with this movie.
 
Yeah, this is bad news. But why do people keep pretending Anna Kendrick is a good actress? Elizabeth Olsen is the best out of those three shortlisted.
 
Wasn't this movie cancelled?

I think it was put on hold while they worked on the script to make it less expensive. It definitely seemed like it'd be costly. There was a lot of turtles like spinning around in their shells knocking trucks off roads and crazy acrobatics like that, some dimension jumping shit
technodrome and Krang
, an alien planet, and CG characters (Rocksteady and Bebop and I believe the turtles themselvers were all going to be CG).

She's been fine in the movies I've seen. I don't think this movie requires really good actors and actresses just ones who fit. And yeah Anna fits the teenage girl role great...if they are going for a teenage April.

This will just be...wait what the fuck was Megan Fox's name in Transformers? How forgettable.



Anna Kendrick > Alice Eve

Jane Levy from the ABC show Suburgatory was also in the running according to Variety. I think she would've been the best choice.

I thought this movie wasn't happening anymore? At the very least it's having some sort of production issues that would hopefully mean it never gets made.

You do? I want a new TMNT live action movie but I am a bit soured by that script.

I can't imagine how the new turtles will look.

There is no confirmation stating that is the script they are moving forward on. In any case, I rather have a TMNT film property than not.
