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.

Alright Sanjuro, I'm holding out a bit of hope as well.

After all I totally love the fucking amazing new show.
 
I'm almost ok with this. I mean if it's already gonna suck why not add more suck on top of it. As long as she's still hot I'm fine with it.

Who knows.....it might be good....
 
Shame there is no woman who does the character justice like the render made by an artist a ways back.

Only reason she ever got fired is because Spielberg went extremist after Schindlers list. Thank God he is the opposite of George Lucas or he would go back in and redo a ton of original Indiana jones scenes now.
 
If they did an older April, I would be all about her or Jessica Biel.

The hell? She's only 28. Less than two years older than Megan Fox. April O'Neil is supposed to be a reporter, not some high-school club newspaper girl.

This is the worst post I've read today. Bravo.
 
In the old script, April was high school age. Megan Fox can't pass for a high schooler. That alone is giving me some hope they are doing something different.

There were girls in my highschool that looked like 40-something mothers, for crying out loud, and at least 2 or 3 who looked almost exactly like Fox. I think she could do a high schooler

I doubt it. I read the entire screenplay. They were heavily focused on her and Casey being very very young high school kids.
 
Its true though :(

That Spielberg went extremist? No, it isn't. He advised Bay to do what any producer would advise when a star starts talking shit about the director of their bankable franchise - can her stupid ass. There is no tolerance for that kind of bullshit.

Eh, due to most of the teen drama TV shows and movies the public perception of high schoolers are that they look like they are in their late 20s anyway, regardless of if they are freshmen or seniors, so most people would probably not have a problem with it.

Again, my point is the original script seems to be gone or at the very least altered. Other than that, people just seem to keep getting riled up over nothing at the moment.

This kind of stuff is said all the time. Spielberg went extremist after List and wont tolerate anything that makes light of Nazis in his mind hence why if he was George Lucas he would go back and edit the Nazis to be evil snake fuckers instead of comical villians in Indiana Jones. He fails to realize you can mock and laugh at the Nazis and it doesn't mean you are making them less evil.

And my point is that you shouldn't get your hopes up and that they could still go with the leaked script because both the people working on this film and the general public are morons.
 
He's fucking her.

You know, normally, I'd let comments like these slide, but no. He's not. At all.

If you knew anything about her personal life and some of the interviews she's done, I'd say the chances of anyone besides her husband having sex with her are pretty much zero.

She's not some Alpha bitch like the movies make her out to be.

I don't agree with the Casting choice, personally, but she's not THAT bad of an actress where you're constantly thinking "Why can't you act better!?" type of deal.

My hopes up? Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the franchise more. They could show me a still image of Megan Fox and Raphael and it would be a vast improvement over anything that happened in TMNT 3.

I'm not saying she's fucking him. But you would be amazed how many on-set hookups there are that you never hear about. What happens on set (usually) stays on set and whatever you've seen in interviews doesn't mean squat once the cast are doing the press rounds around the world together and swimming in blow and booze.
 

I'M FINISHED!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and

Platinum Dunes has a knack for shitting up franchises with freshly shat ideas.

Revenge of the Fallen makes TMNT 3 look like Citizen Kane. Trust me, it can get worse.

But marriage bro. It's supposed to be sacred.

...She's a porn star.

Sasha Grey went legit when she did The Girlfriend Experience.
