Megan Fox Cast in the 'TMNT' Film

she might be April or maybe Shedder's Daughter Kari(sp..?) either way fans won't be happy, except the gorgeous view they'll get...

Actually, I think she's be better as Karai.

Think she'd be great playing the role of Karai! Be nice to see her "naughty" side, yet have some heart while fighting Leo and the rest of the turtles. Who do you guys think would play a great role for her?

Some of the actresses I think would be a great Karai are:

• Megan Fox
• Brenda Song
• Vanessa Hudgens
• Bai Ling
• Lucy Liu

Some of the actresses that I think would play a great April are:

• Kirsten Dunst
• Bryce Dallas Howard
• Christina Hendricks
• Emma Stone

Actually, I think she's be better as Karai.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Rips eyeballs out of skull before repeatedly beating head on table until consciousness is lost)

@I_Stay_Puft

Well I'm cool with whatever direction they take, as long as Venus from the fox live action series isn't in it.

Grah, always confused her with Leo...

Ugh!! Please dont give Bay any more terrible ideas. Knowing him he just might do it.

I wish I had some popcorn while I was reading all the comments in this thread....

That poor, poor sex symbol...

OMG they should totally get Gemma Arterton to play April!!!!

Why is everyone complaining? The film isn't even close to being out yet. Megan Fox isn't a horrible choice for April.

@GothamRed: Nice Batman Beyond reference, made my day man.

Best DC animated movie in my opinion. Poor Tim...

Oh jeez. I'm gonna have to dust off the DVD player now. Thanks a lot guys ! ;P

I can't really see Megan Fox as April. Hopefully they don't go the April lab assistant route. Can you see Megan Fox acting smart? Even Megan Fox as a reporter sounds pretty far fetched. Everything that comes out of her mouth is ignorant. She reminds me too much of Paris Hilton. Style but no substance. I'm not too fond of the alien crap either. Well....we always have the comics if the movie sucks.

@GothamRed: Best Joker reference of the week!

She would be fine as O'Neill

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.

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".

How would Donatello know she was female though, I mean I see two turtles in a tank not sure which one is which.

Well, don can always do things for April lol besides if they got together lol, male turtles have "thingies" lol it's not like it's that hard to tell, when they get aroused to mate they come out kind of. Not so sound odd or random lol but yeah. As far as the rest, the turtles are mutated and also grown smarter due to it like humans or similar.

What I find funny is in the cartoon it seemed Michaelangelo liked her, the movie Raphael and in the new show Donny lol. I don't know if Leo ever had the hots for April though.

Leo likes Ninja babes, like Lotus Blossom and Karai :-)

I seem to remember Mikey having the hots for that Neutrino girl.

haha that's true, the new show he seems in love with Karai lol

Well I'm cool with whatever direction they take, as long as Venus from the fox live action series isn't in it.

Man. Bay why are you ruining everything in my childhood not related to superheroes.

I still won't see this.

@bloggerboy: Batmans premise isn't near as fundamentally flawed as TMNT

I was never excited for this film anyways! :)

SHE NOT A GOOD ACTRESS SOOOO WHY IS SHE GOING TO BE IN TMNT.

I hate Bay.... I hate him soooo much....

@shackle said:

@bloggerboy: Casting Fox will not, and cannot, kill the movie, in and of itself. Period. So calm. The hell. Down.

I am quite calm. And no, Fox alone won't kill the movie. There's Bay and some pointless changes to the story like Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles. And every single of these tiny drops of suckitude will make an ocean, I'm pretty sure of that.

He really needs to make a Barbie movie. This way he can ruin the childhood of women as well.

Michael Bay, the Uwe Boll of 1980s toys.

lol wow, and here I thought Comic fans and DBZ fans were the worst lol...

Seriously, I grew up on TMNT myself and see nothing wrong with this. For one people are making assumptions(which is always a great idea...let me tell you because she's cast she's automatically April and no possibility for anyone else lol)

Secondly, if she winds up being Karai or someone else even a new, side character I will literally laugh at those hating this idea in upcoming months.

Thirdly, it's Megan Fox an actual actress who's been in quite a few decent if not good movies, not Lindsay Lohan or Eminem lol seriously, some people need to calm down.

I'm more concerned with the final script then who they cast seriously, this is trivial. I think some fans are just pet peeving or hating on Fox or Bay for the sake of doing so at this point. Dumb...

Michael Bay must be a forgiving man.

This sounds like it's going to be GREEEAAAAT, seeing how the TMNT tv show turned out so awesome... (sarcasm)

@shackle said:

@bloggerboy: No it's not. It's not at all. This thread is ridiculous. Fanboys are absolutely losing their minds over something as trivial as Megan Fox being cast in a movie; it's stupid. Fox's role won't make or break the film, because it's not an important enough role to make or break the movie. The only reason people are having a fit is because that's what people do whenever Megan Fox's name is mentioned. "Megan Fox! OMG it's RUINT!!" It's stupid, and the people who do it are stupid.

For the record, I don't think she's a good actress, but she's acceptable eye candy. That's all that's required for the role. And I don't think it's going to make a lick of difference, this movie is going to suck, and suck bad. But now the fanboys have another reason, after Michael Bay, to hate on the film, and that's Megan Fox. IMO, the film would suck with Scorcese directing and Jennifer Lawrence cast as April O'Neil--it's a silly, silly movie with a silly concept, silly characters and a silly story. But that's just my opinion; I understand others may love it. Megan Fox is not going to take a good movie and make it bad or a bad movie and make it good; people need to stop acting all freaked out because that's the way they are expected to act as fanboys.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a silly movie and that's a classic. Who says April can't have classic lines like Jessica Rabbit for example. Or given Turtles has a lot of action in it, have April deliver something badass and memorable like "Get away from her you b*tch!"

I agree that a Turtles movie has a very low chance of being like Roger Rabbit or Aliens (wow, what a contrast!) but making decisions like casting Fox is only going to kill the movie without even giving it any kinds of chances.

Guys! There's a simple solution to this--convince the producers to send Ms. Fox to Britain for some theater training! If she is trained in the proper art of acting, THEN maybe she'd change people's minds.

@mattwing87: No, she's not. She can't ruin your childhood unless she's invented some time machine. So keep your hysteria in check.

Wait now she is going to be in TMNT after rumors of being in the next Star Wars? She is ruining my child hood!!

Poor Megan Fox. Transformers was actually decent, bit I just know the TMNT film will be Transformer 2 quality.

You know I don’t feel angry or hate. I feel apathetic. We all kind of saw this one coming that we should make bingo card to see what is going to be expected.

You know the one of creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles consider the 80s cartoon shameful. I need to blog about that as soon as I can able to write what I mean correctly. He knows who he is working with, right? There is being risky and then there expected an ominous lesson in this afterward. Somehow we are going to take note at when it happen either it is good or bad. Most of us are likely to expect it to be bad but our morbid curiosity will get us to see how badly it is.

So who who is suck... vict....voulenter to watch it.

@GothamRed: Aaaaaa, u clever basterd, I see what u did there ;)

Sadly this is something along the lines of what we'll get from the TMNT movie.

Fits with Bay directing it, so it was going to be bad anyways.

He's not directing it.

Why is he talking about her then?

Because:

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

Maybe she'll play Erma, April's slutty android loving best friend/co-worker. Makes sense.

By the way, i second the Megan Fox for Irma idea. Just give her some nerdy glasses, and she'd be set.

Wow, this is bad...

lol at all these raging comments. I understand people hate Michael Bay but they're acting like he just committed genocide or something.

I'm out of holding onto hope for this damn awful mess. Transformers has been ruined by Bay's influence and now something I care more about will feel his wrath as a result of Bay's fixation on putting Megan Fox in the role of April O'Neil. Seriously does Bay want his TMNT to crash and burn?

I would have assumed Fox had burnt all her bridges with Michael Bay. Well, this is pretty terrible news. I think Megan Fox was fine in the Transformers movies in as much as she was simply there to look hot in a vacant/lifeless sort of way, but if their plan is to have her be April, a real character with emotions and personality, that simply will not work.

It's possible she could be Karai...that would be slightly better casting.
