You know Bay will cast another Toe-Thumbed whore for the part! I can't wait to see which Victoria's Secret model he goes with this time!

So there you go.

HTH.

Am I the only one who always thought that the idea of Teenage Mutant Ninja TURTLES was the most insane idea ever created?

I can't believe they are reinventing this crap again.

That's just yellow journalism.

TMNT Wiki posted:T.C.R.I, Techno Cosmic Research Institute, is a scientific corporation/organization with a large, mysterious and imposing facility in Brooklyn, New York. Though little is known of the ongoings inside the building, their organization's acronym was printed upon the canister of mutagen which transformed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Splinter. The facility is, in actuality, the secret terrestrial base of a race of aliens called Utroms who had crashed on the planet Earth sometime in the 1960s.



Bay posted:

"These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."



Bay > Myk



iirc, the canister of mutagen smacked some unidentified red-headed boy in the face on its way to the sewer drain. He looked suspiciously like Matt Murdock to me.

I don't see how the alien tie-in helps anything. Turtles being exposed to an experimental mutagen functions perfectly well as an origin story. I don't really care one way or another about this one, but I feel like Bay is screwing it up if only by attempting to fix what isn't broken.

He's explaining their origin, which, if they're hoping to rekindle this awful franchise, is very likely what it's going to revolve around. Their origin is aliens. He's not saying they come from a race of space turtles.

Besides, Michael Bay can only improve upon such a terrible series.



If by improve, you mean take a steamy shit all over it, then yes, he can.

The worst part of it all, I bet those hacks Kurtzmann and Orci will write the thing. (Those are the same two writers who wrote Star Trek and the Transformers movies)

On what planet do you live where a movie about mutated sewer turtles can be something other than totally godawful regardless of the talent involved? It's for kids.
