Megan Fox Cast in the 'TMNT' Film

The film's producer says the 'Transformers' star will appear in the upcoming movie.

We haven't heard anything new about Ninja Turtles in quite some time, but now Michael Bay, the movie's producer, made a big announcement via his website.

TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!
Michael Bay

As you probably remember, the actress worked with Bay on Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. She didn't return for 3rd film after a few very negative remarks about working with Bay. But, it appears whatever happened between them is being kept in the past and the two will collaborate once again.

No Caption Provided

Unless they introduce a new character, I think it's safe to say Fox will play April O'Neil. The film is scheduled to come out in 2014 and is being directed by Jonathan Liebesman.

Viners, can you see Megan Fox as the classic Turtles character or do you think she'll have a different role?

Comparing the pic on the right, Megan could play April if she dyed her hair the right shade of red.

She has a mutation, she has toe hands.

I'll say something nice. She was attractive once, you know before the plastic surgery.

We'll just stick to the comics and the TV series.

I just hope everyone has the sense enough to ignore this and not bother to see the film, if it ever comes out.

Wonder if they'll keep that weird turtle / human feelings Donatello has for her in the nickelodeon tv series. I always get weirded out by that, then again Donatello doesn't really have much to choose from.

Think Michael Bay's a great addition to the TMNT Films and will give us Turtle fans, a great action movie like he did for Transformer fans and those that aren't so familiar with the cartoon animated series as well. Hoping to see this film take over the box offices considering how long ago since we've seen a non-animated Ninja Turtle movie (since the 1990 trilogy films). Pray that the Turtles, and Splinter look badass and realistic-appearing knowing how much effects and modern technology Michael Bay uses for his screenplays and brings the tools he used to produce the Transformer films. If they do just that, then in my eyes it's already a great movie! Finger's crossed!

@Mini_Bat: I know what he will do next, he will have LeBeouf as Jessie, Petter Cullen as Splinter, Mark Ryan, Darius McCrary, Robert Foxworth, and Jess Harbell as the turtles, Hugo Weaving as Shredder, and it will have a lot of explosions and a ending where the good guys win. End of story, I just saved everyone a lot of money and time. Thank me later or now, I don't care. Why the hell are you still reading what I am typing don't you have something better to do?

You just made my day... Thanks!

If Bay does anything well, it's action.

I'm not going to hate this until I see it. Just like Transformers, it could be a fun action movie that I don't have to think to hard about.

BUT. Megan Fox is awful. Just awful. Bad, bad choice.

I am very surprised about this. I can't believe Michael Bay hired her again after her (totally justified) comments.

She's perfect for a movie about mutants and aliens. I've never seen her in a part where I found her believable as a human

It's trendy to hate on Fox these days. She's got a supporting role in a film that's not exactly going to require Oscar caliber acting ability, and fools are running around like it's the end of the world. Megan Fox isn't a good actress, but she doesn't have to be a good actress for this role, so the hysteria gang should probably just chill out.

I said it before and i'll say it again, "people think Donatello's feelings for April are weird because they don't have the hindsight to question if 4 TEENAE males who never saw a female before wouldn't fall in love for the first one they meet".

Michael Bay is the producer, not the director.

Also, please censor your post, Mbecks.
