Don't give them ideas.

[ScottysAir]

And Leonado, Splinter, Raphanel, Michelangelo, too. How about the Shredder or The Foot? What about April O'Neil or Casey Jones?

Platinum Dunes' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Feature Alien Origin

Just announced for a Christmas Day, 2013 release last week, Platinum Dunes' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to feature a very non-traditional origin for its reptilian heroes. In fact, producer Michael Bay hints that the turtles may not be mutants at all.

Word arrives via Stuff We Like and a video of Bay speaking at last week's Nickelodeon Upfront in New York where he states:

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

To be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will feature a script from Josh Appelbaum, Andrew Nemec, Art Marcum, Matt Holloway and John Fusco.

The franchise, which began as a black and white comic book series in 1984, rose to tremendous popularity when it became an animated series in 1987. Following the first live-action film in 1990, the series spawned two live-action sequels, a live-action television series, a second animated series and a CGI feature film.

F**K YOU!!!!!!

If they aren't "mutated" than they aren't Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles.

And I go back to my previous statement....

F**K YOU MICHEAL BAY!!

[Neverending]

I really hope he was joking. Or atleast that he's misinterpretated. I mean, I'm aware of Krang and the Technodrome possibly being included, so perhaps there is a connection between the two. Which is fine as long as the Turtles aren't actual aliens.

[Dogbert0228]

I feel bad for today's kids.

[Neverending]

I feel bad for us. :mad:

[JBond]

He also says they're going to be metal and transformable.

[Neverending]

You're only adding fuel to the fire, JBond.

[sshuttari]

There should be a facebook group called "How Micheal Bay Has Ruined My Childhood"

[JBond]

I think I'd be too old for that page.

[JBond]

Oh, because he ruined Transformers and TMNT, not because his movies came out in our childhood. Nevermind.

[Neverending]

Classic JBond sarcasm.

[JBond]

Those were two rare posts that didn't contain sarcasm. I misunderstood the post and then explained it. Classic Neverending blunder.

http://blog.viacom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Nick-Upfront-Michael-Bay-1024x681.jpg

After an earth-rattling sizzle reel of his greatest hits – from The Rock to Pearl Harbor to the Transformers trilogy – Michael Bay gave the crowd a first look at the previsualization – filmmaker speak for a 3D, digitally animated storyboard – for Ninja Turtles, Paramount Pictures’ live-action reinvention of the franchise set to hit theaters next year. “We want this film to have the impact of a Transformers one,” said Bay. If the stunning previs is any indication, Bay is making good progress against that lofty goal in his role as producer. Another tidbit he offered up is that the Turtles origin story has been updated, from the decidedly 80s radioactive waste accident to an alien planet. The “teenage mutant” remains intact, however, for the brand-new CG-animated TMNT series debuting on Nickelodeon this fall – good news for those of us who grew up in a time when the names Leonardo and Donatello were more closely associated with pizza and kung fu than art.

I guess this isn't a joke. It's for real. :(

[The Kid]

No one should be surprised. Michael Bay is always bad news.

[sshuttari]

I like how even just making a presentation he has to have his name Bold in Big Letters.... What a douche...

[Tolkien]

SO MICHAEL BAY DID HAVE A HAND IN BATTLESHIP!!!

I knew I was right about that movie, lol.

[ScottysAir]

I think I'd be too old for that page.

Yeah, I am not getting too old yet. I am still young.

[Ramplate]

He also says they're going to be metal and transformable.


Hopefully they'll explode and destroy themselves too

[Alien]

My idea, if Michael Bay wants a team of cool alien anthropomorphic animals, why not make Biker Mice From Mars?

[sshuttari]

Why would he do that when he can destroy a whole franchise with one swoop

[Alien]

Michael Bay would destroy Biker Mice From Mars too, just by putting his name on it.

Michael Bay Responds to Fans About Making Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Aliens

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=88213

This weekend, we reported on Michael Bay's quotes from Nickelodeon's Upfront about his company Platinum Dunes' upcoming live-action adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

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

Naturally, fans weren't too happy to hear that the turtles were now going to be 'an alien race' and there was a lot of negative feedback.

Michael Bay has now responded to the feedback on his official site with the following:

"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."

Paramount Pictures is planning a December 25, 2013 release date for the film.

[sshuttari]

Why wouldn't you start out with that instead of saying what you said. Like you didn't think you were going to get negative feedback... Come on...

[Neverending]

So... like I originally said, they are going to tie-in the origin with Krang. He'll probably be the creator of the ooze, like in the comics.

[sshuttari]

Nothing has CHANGED!!! He still ruined it!!

[Neverending]

How so?

[sshuttari]

Aliens... There not Aliens thats stupid.

Just because Transformers is a huge success and some how them being Aliens made sense for those movies and genre(originally too). Doesn't mean it works for everything.

[morpheus1987]

They are mutant ninja turtles, not alien ninja turtles. I don't see how Bay can justify this.

[Neverending]

In the comics, the ooze that mutated the turtles, were created by aliens. So, if that's what Michael Bay means then I am okay with it.

[DarthVader 2004]

In the 2000 cartoon series wasn't Shredder an alien. As long as we get Splinter The Rat 4 Turtles. A hot April O'Neil and a cool Casey Jones and mean Shredder I am good.

[sshuttari]

And a race of Billions of turtles that died out by the evil Shredder.... Of course!!! WELL MAKE BILLIONS I TELL YA!!!

[DarthVader 2004]

Um wouldn't alien humanoid turtles be considered mutants to humans. Because they still can be labeled as freaks from the Suer and the people can name them Mutant Turtles and the running gag is rafeal gets ticked every time he is called that.
Mutants I am a fun loving Alien Pizza eater.

[Henri Ducard]

We don't know yet if the Turtles are actual aliens. Michael Bay is being vague to get a conversation started.

[Alien]

At least they might be mutated aliens too.

[sshuttari]

At least they might be mutated aliens too.

That doesn't even make sense...

[Neverending]

I think that was the joke.

[DarthVader 2004]

That doesn't even make sense...

Look at Alien for instance they kinda mutate once they are born from there human or whatever host.
Also we humans put names on things. They likely could be Teenager and the Appear to be Turtles so logically the News can or us humans can name them The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I just wonder will Splinter be a Rat who is exposed to them and mutates and still raises them.
My dream is Jackie Chan is Splinter and Jet Li is Shredder

Good point, maybe the mutagen is whats alien

[sshuttari]

I think that was the joke.

Scary thought: Micheal Bay might be watching and taking notes...

[PsYkOoOoO]

Everybody knows Daredevil (the Marvel superhero) shares the same origins as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nothing extraterrestrial about that!

[Alien]

That doesn't even make sense...
What doesn't make sense? Why can't aliens mutate?

I think that was the joke.
It wasn't a very good one I'll admit.

[Deexan]

Alien you fool! Mutated aliens is a ridiculous concept.

They should stick to the bulletproof realism of the original comic: spilt toxic waste canisters.

[Henri Ducard]

How will they explain Splinter? Will he be alien too?

[DarthVader 2004]

Alien you fool! Mutated aliens is a ridiculous concept.

They should stick to the bulletproof realism of the original comic: spilt toxic waste canisters.

I grew up on the Ninja Turtles toons and movies and loved the characters. The problems is some people Alien Turtles makes more since then lets say Mutant Turtles.
X-Men are mutants but not Reptiles. Now they can have Ooze that lets say they have on there ship but they Get exposed and The Human Splinter to a full dose and maybe These aliens become based on whatever creature is nearby
Also i this sound like Bay messing with people so we are talking about The Ninja Turtles Movie.

[Deexan]

I was just messin' Vader. I grew up with the comics, TV show, movies etc but I don't really mind if they decide to change their origin, just so long as the fighting is exciting and the characters retain their personalities I'll be happy.

I'm just looking forward to a big budget, live-action Krang and Technodrome! Could look badass.

My only regret is not being able to find my first edition copy of the Eastman & Laird TMNT comic that I used to have when I was little...

[JBond]

I've heard that he's also going to make the turtles...NINJAS! Oh MAN does that sound stupid! But they're also going to be impudent teenagers who talk as if they're in the 80s. How do they come up with this stuff?

[Alien]

Tweenage Alien Judo Terrapins!

[Knerys]

Sold!! Here's 150 million.

I'm getting that feeling again! The same one I got when they first changed the Power Rangers on me, lol.

[Henri Ducard]

^lol

[Neverending]

But wait! There's more...




From Jeff Sneider (works at Variety):

I'm hearing that the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES reboot is going to live up to the first word in its title, if U get my drift...

[DarthVader 2004]

Teenage Mutant Alien Ninja Turtles but maybe the title is too long for Michaelangelo so they shorten it to TMNT.

[JBond]

Teenage Artifical-Intelligent Ninja Turtles.

No, wait...

[DarthVader 2004]

Well I do believe that is a Tortoise which is the same family but is not a Turtle because I think Tortoises are on land. Kinda like the Frog to Toad differeance. Again i still think this is Bay messing with the Turtle Fan base because he likely wants to keep most things secret and doubt he spoil it this soon.

[Doomsday]

I love how the director of the movie is saying 'Fans are gonna love it, I know it's different but you won't be disappointed.' Hey, how about this; why don't you go eff yourselves and not presume what we're gonna like especially since this whole project is basically 'yeah we know there's a huge fan uproar but we're doing it this way because it will make us more money.' It reminds me of that old Joel Schumacher interview before Batman and Robin came out. 'Batman Forever was for the families, but this next Batman movie is for the fans. We're going back to basics.'

Yet I can't get angry at them. I just can't because I know millions of people are going to see it regardless. Even people complaining about it are going to go watch it, hate it, then say 'well I was bored. Well I had an extra $15 lyin around. Well I hadn't been to the movies in a long time. Well I knew it would suck but I had to see for myself. Well....' And all the while they wonder why Hollywood keeps turning out crap after crap after crap.

[Fanible]

I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but the director of the movie did also clarify that it's the ooze that's going to be of alien origin, not the turtles themselves.

[SnoBorderZero]

Exactly, everyone complains about Michael Bay and yet how many people on these boards saw the latest crap Transformers movie? Hollywood doesn't need to make stimulating, interesting films (including blockbusters here) as long as people continue to support their garbage. If people continue to reward lack of effort and creativity, why would Hollywood do anything different?

[Neverending]

the director of the movie did also clarify that it's the ooze that's going to be of alien origin, not the turtles themselves.

I've said this several times but people are to busy complaining to notice. ALSO, in the comics, the Ooze IS of alien origin.

[DarthVader 2004]

Its from Demention X cartoon wise and my guess is Demention X is a alien universe.

[Neverending]

Its from Demention X cartoon wise and my guess is Demention X is a alien universe.

In the comics, it is the Utroms that created the Ooze. They were featured in the 2003 series. As for Dimension X, that's an alternate universe, and the Technodrome is a transportation devise.

[Alien]

And the working title of "Ninja Turtles"? Is that just short hand or are they just giving the middle finger to the fans who think it'll be alien turtles?

[ScottysAir]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FnfzV26secM

FnfzV26secM

AH, yes! I remember that I watch TMNT since I was little boy. The cartoon TV show was so incredible! So this time they will start develop new TMNT 4 movie. Can Michael Bay will play TMNT 4?

[Wyldstaar]

Even if this were going to be a proper TMNT movie reboot, with a loyal origin and traditional villains, in the end the movie would still suck. This is Michael Bay, after all. Everything he touches turns to Bantha poodoo.

[Neverending]

The sad part is that they hired a director who is worse than Michael Bay.

[Henri Ducard]

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=88452

Producer Michael Bay has posted a second statement about the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie that will be titled Ninja Turtles.

"Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple. The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE'S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.

MICHAEL"

This is in response to the rumor that the title had been shortened. It all started with quotes from Bay last week which revealed that the turtles in the upcoming movie would be of alien origin. Following that quote, Bay responded and so did director Jonathan Liebesman (read here).

Paramount Pictures is planning a December 25, 2013 release for Ninja Turtles.

I'll see it no matter what. Sad but true.

[DarthVader 2004]

No director is that bad. It took Bay several movies to get such a title. The guys says he is a fan and he did a better job with Titans then the guy who did TIH movie.

New Ninja Turtles Movie to Start Filming This Year

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/171009-new-ninja-turtles-movie-to-start-filming-this-year

As much as people would like to think the outcry of fans could change it, it's still happening. The Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles will step in front of the cameras this year, according to The Province. They're hoping to get rolling late this summer or early in the fall in Vancouver.

Michael Bay is producing through his Platinum Dunes production company with Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) directing and a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol). The turtles are also expected to be motion capture CGI like what we saw in last years Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Their planning to release the film December of 2013.

[OBSERVER]

Release one week after The Hobbit: There And Back Again. Bad idea.

Um... do they even have a cast yet?

[sshuttari]

I was thinking the same thing. Since it's obviously going to be CGI they just need good voice actors which I'm will help with saving a lot of money getting actors.

[Neverending]

It's June. If they are gonna be filming in August or September, you'd think they would have a cast by now. Or at least there would be reports of whose up for roles. But we have nothing. That just gives me the impression the actors are the last thing on these people's mind. They're probably gonna hire the flavor of the week with some random model as April O'Neil.

[Henri Ducard]

New release date: May 16, 2014

[OBSERVER]

Good decision. The previous date was inevitably destined to fail.

[DarthVader 2004]

I knew they would back pedal but I didn't think we would see this the same summer as Bays Transformers 4.

New release date: May 16, 2014

What is your source? I ask, because all of mine say that the movie hasn't just been pushed back, but put on indefinite hold. AICN, ICV2, and Huffington Post all say that the film has been shelved.

[Neverending]

http://www.deadline.com/2012/06/paramount-delays-ninja-turtles-start-date/

Another week, and another Paramount movie in trouble. First there was G.I. Joe 2‘s plot problems leading to reshoots and a release date delay. Then there was World War Z‘s problematic production and required reshoots and third act revision. Now it’s the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles reboot. Paramount says it has pushed back the pic’s start date by 10 weeks in order to cut the budget $10M to $20M down to $125M. That means the release date also will push back: from Christmas 2013 to May 16, 2014. Initially, Paramount hired the Iron Man writing team of Art Marcum and Matt Holloway for close to $1 million to revamp Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a fast-tracked live action feature film to be released in summer 2012. At the time, the studio was looking at this as its next huge franchise like Transformers. Then the Jonathan Liebesman-directed live action-CGI combo’s release date was pushed to Christmas 2013. Now Paramount tells me it’s pushed again to May 16th, 2014 — presuming that the studio’s cost target is achieved.

[ScottysAir]

New release date: May 16, 2014

Why delayed reboot the movie?

[Wyldstaar]

Why delayed reboot the movie?

Script revisions, which is a pretty good sign considering Michael Bay is involved. This is not a person known for well thought out scripts.

For the past few years, Hollywood has been ever more disinterested in developing a decent story. Instead, they've been going for lots of impressive visuals, explosions and big name actors. This formula worked too, sadly. 2012 however, seems to have been the tipping point where a lot of folks have finally had enough. Movies featuring spectacular eye candy and name recognition while skimping on story have been bombing all year.

Considering the massive amount of money the studios spend on actor salaries and CGI, spending a little extra time to develop a screenplay that moves from one plot point to the next and actually makes sense while doing so can't hurt anything.

[The Kid]

Jessica Biel might be cast as April O'Neil.

[Dhamon22]

Interesting. I would've went with Jessica Chastain.

What about Casey Jones? Tom Hardy?

Shredder? Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa?

[Neverending]

Interesting. I would've went with Jessica Chastain.

LOL. She's not gonna go anywhere near a Michael Bay production.

why not?

[Neverending]

She's a "respectable actress" at the moment.

[sshuttari]

This is very true. But action movies pay better paychecks and that's why most would do a big movie over small indie ones.

[DarthVader 2004]

For Some reason I always thought Jennifer Garner would have been a perfect April and I think Jet Li would be a great Shredder and Jacki Chan would be a great voice for Splinter.

[Neverending]

This is very true. But action movies pay better paychecks and that's why most would do a big movie over small indie ones.

I said she wouldn't do a Michael Bay production. If Chris Nolan, James Cameron, or Steven Spielberg called, that would be a different story.

[DarthVader 2004]

Truth is she probably got axed by Speilberg for comments then Bay insults. Also I think Fox has some smile on her face because Fox's character replacement sucked and fans missed her.

[Neverending]

So the question now is, Reporter April or Lab Geek April? She'd be horrible in both roles. I read that Jane Levy (Suburgatory) and Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) were up for the role, so I'm assuming they're going for the teenage Lab Geek version of the character. But with Megan Fox, considering she's older and whatnot, I can see them going with the Reporter version, which is of course, the more popular interpretation of the character, and long overdue to make a comeback. So if Fox made it happen then I guess it's not too bad then.

The Turtles have been cast:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=101958

[DarthVader 2004]

I'm Not Impressed for they could have gotten some great today Voice Characters for the turtles and I think near 20 or Teens would have fit best and also how about Splinter and Shredder cast first before the turtles for really thats the core of any really serious Turtle Adaptation. There is no good Turtle Story without Splinter and Shredder.

[Fanible]

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by that cast. They didn't try to go with big stars. Granted, yes, they could have gone for more established voice actors, but considering how not greatly known these guys are, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. That they cast them ultimately for what they felt was good auditions, rather than simply trying to get names that they can attach to the movie.

[DarthVader 2004]

I am for and welcome low key actors fine i guess I am just conserned they will not have a Shredder or a very good Splinter. I am thinking The Actor Who Voiced Oogway from Kung Fu Panda. I however want a really good Actor for Shredder. For really other then Kasey Jones there is not too many Human Live Actors really.

[DVDAVE]

I just really hope the cast a Japanese actors to play Shredder and to voice Splinter.

[sshuttari]

They should get that guy from Mortal Kombat the main baddie and Pearl Harbor was the last movie I saw him in. He would be perfect for Splinter voice and everything!

[Deexan]

"Arrested Development" and "Up All Night" star Will Arnett has signed on to join the cast of the upcoming live-action/CG hybrid Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter.

Arnett's role is currently being kept a secret, but he joins Megan Fox in the role of April O'Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo and Noel Fisher as Michelangelo.

This is the second big upcoming comic book-inspired role for Arnett. He's also set to voice Batman in The LEGO Movie.

To be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the film features a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum, Andrew Nemec, Art Marcum, Matt Holloway and John Fusco, based on the characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is targeting a June 6, 2014 release.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=102347

My money's on Splinter.

Also, filming began today.

[DarthVader 2004]

Why would Will be a Splinters voice. Even Bay knows if have Splinter and Shredder they should be Asian in some form. Will could maybe voice Krang.

[Fanible]

Why would Will be a Splinters voice. Even Bay knows if have Splinter and Shredder they should be Asian in some form.

And how exactly do you know this of Michael Bay?

It's not like either of these characters have had any sort of consistency in voice actors.

Will could maybe voice Krang.

What? Do you know who Will Arnett is? Have you heard his voice? I could actually picture him voicing Shredder, Splinter or another bad guy. Krang? I... I just don't know what to say...

Arnett would be appropriate for any deep-voiced character, but he would obviously have to do a Japanese accent for either Shredder or Splinter since both characters are indeed from Japan. So, I don't know. This will be a mystery till they confirm a role.

Movie is not quite the same as cartoons. Today Modern audiences kins expect Splinter and Shredder having some sort of Asian Actor. Now you can do whatever Voice you want in a cartoon but I am assuming that Shredder if there is a Shredder would be a live action being and people want some bad mother to play Shredder.
I could live with Jason Statham being Shredder for he could be an american student who went to the dark side of the Foot. I would be ok with Statham because he does martial art well.
I guess my point Is Will just does not same big enough name for a Splinter or s Shredder. However then again I always considered those character big in the art that is Ninja Turtles.
Will Arnett seems too me more like a Baxter STalkman , Or a Casey Jones. I for one don't have to have Casey as a love match for April really. Casey Jones is crazy a bit and Will Has that.
If he is a voice person then he could be any number of people. Rocksteady and Bebop is a possibility. Then they could make him some type of Alien. For the rumor is they are fighting Aliens.
Really the only alien I know about in Turtles is Krang really and Demention X.

Kramer's little friend from Seinfeld has been cast as Splinter. Odd choice unless they have someone else do the voice.

I am not minding her with no Red Hair for least they did go with having a Yellow Jacket which seems like homage to the 90s cartoon to me. For That April wore a Yellow Suit.
