Apparently coming from toxic ooze isn't edgy enough, but the teenage mutant ninja turtles are going to be from another planet so now we have alien turtles....

I don't want to live on this planet anymore if Micheal Bay is going to butcher everything great from my childhood!

Quote:

o, Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes studios will be producing the new live action TMNT film that will come out on Christmas of 2013. Michael Bay feels the need to change the origin story and make the turtles aliens from another planet. I mean, the origin story is pretty clear of the turtles. A chemically engineered ooze spilled over the turtles and they transformed into what they are. Splinter (the rat who was covered in the ooze as well) taught the turtles karate and they grew up to be crime fighters and eat pizza.

Jonathan Liebesman will direct the film with Michael Bay producing. Liebesman directed the horrible film, ‘Battle: Los Angeles’. Hollywood really does fail upwards. Describing the characters, Bay says, “These turtles are from an alien race, and they’re going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable.” He also went on to say ”Kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist when we’re done with this movie”, according to ScreenRant.

This is just insane. Do we really need Teenage Mutant Ninja Space Turtles? No we don’t. I don’t like where this is going. But i am happy to see that the pizza the turtles will be eating are considered vegetables now. Your thoughts?

My thoughts is I hope he stops making movies, really bad ones and stop making so much money off of them. Because he fucking sucks and doesn't deserve all that money!

Plus how they hell are the turtles going to be mutant? Since they are from another planet? That's probably normal for them, maybe they are "mutant" in a sense that they are aliens and live on planet earth?

God this fucking sucks! *bangs head on table*

Well I know that obviously, but it's still a dumb to remake that movie. I mean if you like cheese make sure its good and not bad.

*Sigh* It still sucks, John Carter may not have sequels, but this piece of shit can be made? Bah no justice!

Ooh, yeah. John Carter ate it at the box office. Disney is taking an approximately $200 million loss on it. I think we can agree to blame the freaking title.

Everyone I know who has no knowledge of the movie or books assumes the film is related to ER, on which Noah Wylie played a character named John Carter. I mean, really, would it have hurt them to at least keep "of Mars" in the title?

and the trailers were shitty too. When I saw the teaser, not only did I not realize it was a teaser, I didn't realize right away that it was an adaptation of Princess of Mars (the name didn't click). They could have sold it as Avatar pt. 2 (or just been completely honest) and I'm sure it would've done a lot better.

I have a friend who is a fan of the books said the same thing. He thought that might of hurt it and how Disney didn't even know how to market it.

Or worse yet a She-Ra movie, but he is totally going to modernize it and She-Ra is going to be this lingerie model you see and her long time enemy is going to be Skeletor because he like was her ex-boyfriend. So she is mad at him of course! So they spend the time fighting, making up, and saving the world together than he brings her breakfast in bed. Because you know you got to get the chicks into the theaters somehow? They like romance right? Plus the guys need to see some sexiness too because I mean how else would they watch a movie with a film with a chick heroine?

Bah someone needs to make a movie with Micheal Bay as a character and kill him lol.

I don't know...She-Ra was pretty much a lingerie model with a sword already. I don't think you could really sex her up more.

I'm surprised no one, like Uwe Boll, has made a Lady Death flick yet.

Michael Bay says to take a chill pill people.

And one of the original cartoon voices declared it the rape of our childhood and I suddenly hated Bay Little less and geeks a little more.

Ironically, the whole franchise was created as a mocking parody of what it eventually became.

Damn really? Well I wouldn't go that far and say that Jesus that's a bit much. You got a link? I haven't had any luck finding it maybe I'm not using the right keywords.

I was wrong...it was one of the guys who voiced a turtle in the live action movies.

Well apparently the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't going to be teenagers either... Yeah because taking out that the "teenage" part and they are going to be 20 and 30 year old alien turtles is so much more believable and better? What next they are going to be like Batman and live in a Mansion or a Penthouse? Because you know a space alien turtle living in sewers is well not at all edgy. This is so much more believable.

*sigh*

Quote:

Bleeding Cool has verified that the working title of the upcoming Paramount-Nickelodeon Turtle movie from producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Libesman is going by the working title of Ninja Turtles. We know all too well where the “Mutant” bit went, but now it seems we’re also losing “Teenage.”

We haven’t been able to get a definite statement as to why this title change is occurring, and our sources are not 100% clear on whether or not the Turtles will indeed be adolescents.

One of our sources has said:

It seems to be driven by marketing. Think of John Carter and how Disney wouldn’t allow for a title with either “Princess” or “Mars”. Also, I suppose, if they have to remove the word Mutant from the title because it doesn’t make sense any more, you’d want to get rid of Teenage too, for scansion as much as anything else. We can’t take it for granted yet that the Turtles won’t be aged 13-19.

Though, suddenly, I’m starting to think the whole issue of how old they are is going to be dodged. I also expect all of their overtly teenage characteristics are going to be shelved.

Sounds like the TMNT fans will see the first trailer and feel their souls plummet to the depths of hell as I did when I saw the trailer for Dark Shadows.

Well, at least they got fair warning. Dark Shadow fans weren't so lucky.

I hate that trailer too, I seen some episodes of Dark Shadows and bah way to suck at trying to make that into a movie. You know after Tim Burton did Big Fish, and got nominated for a lot of awards for that I think he went a little crazy. I mean I love Big Fish don't get me wrong, but I kind of think the fame is going to his head a little. Just my opinion though. The trailer for Frankenweenie looks good though.

My favorite Michael Bay moment was his talking about why they dumped Megan Fox from the third Transformer film. Something about how she did not look like her character anymore. Then he gets philosophical...not understanding what it is...but there is SOMETHING about the film industry that causes women to feel they need to change their bodies and looks. He does not know what causes that though. This from a guy who replaced an actress already accused of being unrealistically attractive with a lingerie model.
