actually that is somewhat old. I believe someone on Deviantart made it

For some reason i picture her being Karai. Not that that would be any better (lol it would probably be worse) but i dont see her being April

TMNT isn't delayed anymore, I guess.

Friend of mine had a scary thought: What if she's not playing April, what if she was cast as Karai.

Bay can suck my ass, I'm officially through.

meh.

@Logan Reilly: Actually I looked it up. http://theblemish.com/2009/09/megan-fox-calls-michael-bay-hitler-crew-calls-her-dumb/

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@ckuakini: I can be in any forum I choose. just as you can be as delusional as you choose to be. Do you honestly expect a TMNT movie to be good, its going to be turtles eating pizza and taking orders from a rat, sounds stupid to me.

Just because it's stupid or silly doesn't mean it can't be good. Roger Rabbit has a talking animated rabbit and that movie is a classic. You are expecting dumb action and dumb comedy when the potential is to do even something serious with a silly premise. You could do good comedy and satire with mutated turtles that eat pizza.

But this movie, it fails before anything is even shot on film/digital because of the people behind it. Namely Bay and now Fox is added to a list that will probably get even bigger the more they cast etc.

If we can get something like The Dark Knight out of man dressing up like a Bat with pointy ears we can get a good Turtles movie. But we'll most likely get something like Batman & Robin right out of the starting gate.

Porn it.

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.

That's like shooting yourself in the foot and saying it's okay because you can limp.

Okay, hopefully she will do better as April than as her character in TF.

Whoever the girl on the right is, she's super f**king bad. To everyone that can't understand y FOX is be cast, think about it. She's attractive and she has screen presence. Yeah she's not the best actress but she puts people the audience. It's all about the Benjamin's Baby. Chill out fellow fanboys! It will be all good!

I'm out!

Amen Brother. Battle for Helm's Deep has ended, the War for the TMNT Franchise has begun.

Has it really been 23 years since the original movie came out. Damn I feel old.

Judith Hoag to Megan Fox as april = fail.

No !!

Lol oh my God that sucks!

To quote the Nostalgia Critic, this isn't Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's Michael Bay's "Racist Alien Big-Boobied Explosions."

I'm a supporter of Bay and the Transformers Movies, but even I have to ask WHY to Megan Fox in a TMNT movie. It just doesn't make sense.

NO PLEASE NOT THAT STUPID B**** please... NO WAY!!!! Please don't screw with my childhood-memories :( :( :(

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

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?

OH GOD NO.

What?

Was sobbing :( ...... now there is just Anger

The movie is getting worser and worser with every day.

So I guess she's going to be Donatello?

@jesusdisciple001 said:

Why does she keep getting comic roles

Because she's a fan of comics.

Poor Megan Fox. She's not the best actress ever, but she cops such a raw deal.

We don't need a movie, that can only hurt the new show not help it, maybe some ad exec will come along and say, nah make it more like the movie, change this change that. I don't want to see another TMNT movie as long as Michael Bay is within 6 lightyears of the producer's role.

Agreed and....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek said:

k4tz how are you not raging right now? This...this is horrible...the joke is literally true now. What's next? Shia as Shredder?

No, no, no, he is going to be Casey. While John Turturro is going to play Shredder.

@MatKrenz:

that was Spielberg, the producer

mwah.. who cares... Wasn't planning on watching the movie anyway....

And you never know... Maybe she and he will surprise you...

@TheAcidSkull:

In the words of Babz "Out !!!" >=\

No no no no no!!!!

Five 'no's' intended! (one for each turtle/alien/whatever bull he is turning them into and one for april) Why are you doing this to our childhoods? How many beloved characters can he ruin? I mean ill pay to see it even if it's terrible. But come I know they live in a sewer but the turtles deserve better.

She looks nothing like April.........more like a Who#$

i cant bring myself to complain about megan fox. she probably shouldnt be in the movie and i should be mad. but its megan fox .1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Wow that's crazy. I'm going to have to look more into this for sure. I remember when they cancelled the production of the movie and postponed the release date of it almost 3 years ago. Maybe Megan Fox is right though, what if he is HITLER!

I mean Bay doesn't make good movies but I don't think he's committing genocide. Unless I hear something really different than what they had planned and stick to the mythology of the franchise I will ignore this movie as much as I can and just enjoy the incredible new cartoon on Nickelodeon.

Love the animated series..I'm actually watching re-runs of it right now - the episode, Monkey Brains; and how Mikey got bummed out he didn't name the T-Phone before Donatello did and that Splinter will be training April, ninjutsu...every episode has there laughs.

Agreed, but he's also an expertise at computer animation, live-action films, and special effects such as the Transformer films he produced which makes me think he'll be a great asset to the TMNT films. Hopefully there'll be more screenwriters that are very dedicated on what they do (more than Bay), stick to the Ninja Turtles mythos (like you said) and expand on the stories. If they don't and I see that they haven't made any progress with this production, I'll be pissed! But again, we just have to wait and see how the movie turns out, hoping for the best and for it to be EPIC!

This is like watching a trainwreck. It's hilarious!

@shackle: @kingsloth: @Mbecks14: You guys serious? Why are you in the forums in the first place then? Your 2 cents on this is like giving a rich man money. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

As I said before, I don't have any problem with Megan Fox as an actress, I don't understand the rabid hatred towards her. But as to why I'm commenting on the article, I happen to love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Everything about this project sounds god awful. I don't want this bastardization of a movie to get made. I don't know where they stand plotwise anymore but last I heard they weren't mutants and they might not have even been teens, and there was a turtle planet and then they were talking about making Casey Jones the star with the turtles as his supporting cast. Whether he's producing or directing, Bay's vision for the Turtles is sorely misguided.

That would be a COMPLETE mess if they did. I'm not sure what they have plotted for the story line, but they better not change their original origin around to help them out with their film - for us comic fans, it's all about reference and continuity and if they don't hit this film on the dot I think it will be a disaster. If this is so, we need to make a forum of why Michael Bay should not be producing the movie. Really love how the 1990 trilogy ended and with that one animated movie they made isn't contributing, as well. I'm jus saying the Turtles better look realistic looking (topping the characters they made in 1990), they better have the same mutated origin, Splinter better still be the smart and father he is, Casey better still be the same Casey is depicted to be (with complete reference of the comic book), and sooo much other things that you got me thinking about now that you brought up the rumors of what he might be planning on doing. I'm serious, if he screws this up where running a Hate thread for this guy. I mean he made Transformers almost perfect, so he better not slack off and create a complete bomb.

Transformers being perfect is debatable but yeah google Michael Bay's TMNT. The project was supposed to be out years ago but fan backlash towards leaked scripts and plots was so violent that they canned the project and put it on ice. Until now apparently. I'm assuming not much has changed since Bay's attitude at the time was along the lines of "F*** you fans, I know what I'm doing, you guys don't know what you want." blahblahblah. It's not looking promising.

if shes naked i will watch and mute her.
