"When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable."

...

I hope that maybe he means that the mutagen comes from an alien race, and this could work in an Utrom/Krang angle. But I just don't think that's the case.

Edit:
Since people aren't familiar with the project-- Michael Bay will be producing the movie, not directing. The script is being written by André Nemec and Josh Appelbaum (Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol). No director's been named but Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans) is reportedly in talks.

 

[Dead]

Now give them laser guns

 

[pgtl_10]

Doesn't that defeat the whole point of TMNT?

 

[- J - D -]

So Splinter is also an alien?

 

[RobotHaus]

I wish I had a gif of my childhood crying.

 

[WedgeX]

So they're just TANT.


Hmmmmmmm.

 

[outunderthestars]

So what does the M in TMNT stand for now?

 

[abusori]

He should hire the ancient aliens guy as a consultant.

 

[owlbeak]

Why does this guy keep shitting all over stuff everyone loved as a kid? What a douche.

 

[2th]

someone beat bay mercilessly please

 

[CygnusXS]

Wait, Michael Bay is making a TMNT movie? Oh, God.

 

[agrajag]

As long as they reprise the TMNT rap, I'm in.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Bay's position as producer is the reason that a very cool director decided to pass on the project.

So what does the M in TMNT stand for now?

Martian

 

[jasonng]

Wait is this for real? Bay is doing a tmnt movie?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Wait, Michael Bay is making a TMNT movie? Oh, God.

Producing. The genius behind Battle:LA is in the frontrunning to direct.

 

[dabig2]

Wait, Michael Bay is making a TMNT movie? Oh, God.

This was my first reaction to the thread title. Time to hunt down some info.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Teenage Martian Ninja Turtles

Sigh..

 

[shadyspace]

But don't they get their New York attitude by being New York turtles.

 

[Funky Papa]

Producing. The genius behind Battle:LA is in the frontrunning to direct.

 

[jasonng]

...

Check please, im done with this world.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Well, gonna mentally forget I saw this thread starting....now!

 

[Kai Dracon]

People like to shit on Bay but his Transformers was no better or worse than any of the old cartoon versions. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Until we see more, I'm going to go with he means the mutagen is from an alien source. Despite the fantears, his Transformers did follow a ton of the mythology faithfully and generally understood the point of it, even if it added new ideas.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Wait is this for real? Bay is doing a tmnt movie?

This has been known since at least last May.

 

[Keyser Soze]

If they make Irma Maggie Gyllenhaal they can recover

 

[Milchjon]

Michael Bay, stop fucking around and destroying the childhood memories of every single American. Just give me my goddamn Bad Boys 3!!

 

[Claude]

Am I in some kind of Bizzaro world?

 

[crimzonflame]

Maybe they come from a sewer-like planet?

 

[Busty]

..., in a way we are ALL responsible for this.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

On a bright note, the guys behind Ghost Protocol are writing the script.

 

[woolley]

And Donatello's staff is gonna give off Explosions!

 

[Messypandas]

don't they originate from an issue of Daredevil?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Wait, Michael Bay is making a TMNT movie? Oh, God.

I didn't know this, but now wish I still hadn't.

 

[B.K.]

Michael Bay's TMNT

What.

I thought Battle : Los Angeles was an interesting, but flawed film.

 

[GekigangerV]

I hope that maybe he means that the mutagen comes from an alien race, and this could work in an Utrom/Krang angle. But I just don't think that's the case.

That is some hopeful thinking to think that he meant TCRI.

Fuck man . . . . There was no way they were going to beat the original movie, but damn I don't like the sound of the alien race one bit.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I thought Battle : Los Angeles was an interesting, but flawed film.

I couldn't finish it. It was just noise. I had no bearings on what the hell was happening.

 

[7Th]

When was this movie announced?

 

[KidA Seven]

Aliens?

 

[OnPoint]

Man... he just ruins everything he touches.

 

[Plinko]

No. No. No.

We've had Star Wars ruined. Indiana Jones had a terrible 4th movie that hurt the franchise.

But nobody better ruin the Turtles. Nobody.

 

[Keyser Soze]

And Donatello's staff is gonna give off Explosions!

In the new TV series, Donatello uses a naginata instead of a bo, and Michelangelo uses a kusarigama instead of nunchaku... the film will probably follow this route.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Man... he just ruins everything he touches.

Hollywood studios would disagree:

 

[pirata]

 

[SouthernDragon]

How about no?

 

[outunderthestars]

I couldn't finish it. It was just noise. I had no bearings on what the hell was happening.

That was kind of the point of the film, but was also it's biggest flaw. I enjoyed it as I thought it gave the film a sense of realism and worked as a method to make the audience feel the same anxiety that the characters were experiencing.

 

[GK86]

Wait, Michael Bay is making a TMNT movie? Oh, God.

This...

Guess he won't be satisfied until he ruins all of our childhood memories.

 

[KittenMaster]

TMNT 2: The Quickening

 

[CrazyDude]

Teenage Martian Ninja Turtles?

 

[la flama blanca]

Fuck this guy up his stupid ass. MICHAEL BAY, YOU FUCKING SUCK
