TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Creator Kevin Eastman Praises Michael Bay's Vision

awesome my ass
this sucks

I dont understand the unnecessary change, but both original creators are on board so I think its worth giving a chance. If it sucks it sucks, but it may very well prove to be an improvement.

just wait til the movie comes out to pass judgement. first class was supposed to suck ass too and it was fantastic... just cross your fingers and pray the alien part was only referring to the ooze =/

Bay will probably just replace the robots from the first Transformers movie with turtles and Shia Lebeouf with a large rat. Then, he'll go take a dump, with equal effort.

I can't trust it....can't trust the "alien" thing. I prefer what PL said, he said just give it a chance, it could be terrible, but at least give it a chance

LOL They took a hilarious idea of genetically altered turtles in the throws of puberty and added the fact that they are extraterrestrials to the mix. How can you not snicker?

Don't call him names!

@overtappeal - I see "unneccesary" as more of a neutral comment. Its not necessarily for or against. I think the change is completely unnecessary as well. but that does not mean it wont end up being an improvement.

I'm telling you guys, Keanu Reeves is in on this. They can't make the movie without him!

The last four Alien turtles of their species have fled to Earth because their home planet was destroyed by Krang the Konquerer. Arriving to Earth, they know full well they are no match for Krang's forces which are soon to come destroy the Earth on their trail... unless... unless they learn KUNG FU!!! So quickly they research Earth's "historical records" (Movies) and head straight for Keanu Reeves' crib. Unfortunately, all they found was his pet rat. But their logic dictates that the rat has absorbed Keanu's Kung Fu through photographic memory. They then proceed to circle the rat's cage and squirt their male turtle ooze all over the rat, mutating him into their new found master. Together they fled into the sewers to build their HQ under the concrete rug of the humans. But little did they know, Keanu would come back and find his rat's empty cage covered in radioactive alien turtle ooze. He took no chances and started to lick every drop of it to then mutate into... THE SUPER SHREDDER!!!!!

@Nomis- Wow. 'Nuff said.

@Shaman- The sad thing is, I think you just guessed the plot.

MovieMaster- I dunno, i think Keanu Reeves is pretty frickin' more sad right there. He lost his rat!

headlopper- AMEN!!! ROCKET RACCOON FTFW!!!

You guys gotta remember, Jonathan Liebesman is directing this, NOT Bay. He's only producing. In case you're wondering who he is, he directed Battle: LA and the upcoming Wrath Of The Titans.

@MovieMaster - he's involved, this single fact isn't very promising.

But of course I'm bashing just for the kicks now.

trailer please, to soon?)

Depressing... but i guess we cant do nothing else than just wait and see.

MovieMaster- True, however that just tells me the turltes will be lame... but they're gonna look cool doing it!

You're not a sell out for being tolerant of other peoples ideas and vision. At some point in the turtles universe, someone said "What if we also had a samurai rabbit?". It suggests the same things as you guys are bashing this idea for. More mutant animals. The creators gave it a go ahead. So shut up. Your point becomes invalid if the person who thought the whole thing up in the first place tells you they're in to it.

U know I don't think I'll ever understand people when it comes to shows they grew up with and thinking that they should have a say into what is being made. Everyone is so judgemental of something that yes is over 20 yrs old and needs to be revitalized in order to be remotely interesting.

He makes one comment about them being from an alien race and the people who still think wearing their TMNT t-shrits from the 80s is cool get in an uproar. I'll reserve my judgement after I see a trailer or some concept ideas or even a synopsis to determine if it's worth seeing. Everyone even wants to call the creators sell outs cause they actually may even like the idea and willing to give it a chance. To me the sellouts are the ones who want to condemn something they haven't seen and not give it a chance. If are a diehard TMNT fan then you will be that way no matter what.

Personally I think he is going to make the mutagen from an alien race that somehow ends up on Earth.

ok the only way i would be anywhere near ok with the alien thing is if the ooze is alien. for example the ooze comes from outer space, scientists get a hold of it and lose some somewhere down the line. but hey if it's Kevin Eastman saying he's loving the idea it can't be all that bad right? i mean its Michael Bay after all = P

How much did Michael Bay pay him to say that?

sell out

Michael Bay really is the worst person working in Hollywood, he messes up everything he touches. Plus, he's kinda racist, I mean he always has a stereotypical black guy as the comic relief in all his films (or, in the case of Transformers, African-American alien robot twins).

I can just see the cast now...
Keanu Reeves - Raphael
Hayden Christensen - Donatello
Reno Wilson - Michelangelo
Channing Tatum - Leonardo
Nicolas Cage - Master Splinter
Jean-Claude Van Damme - Shredder
Seth Rogan - Krang
Shia LaBeuf - Casey Jones
Lindsay Lohan - April O'Neil


@MovieMaster you do realise Bay is the one pulling the strings on this, right? He's as good as directing it, he's the one making all the stupid decisions like making the TMNTs aliens, Liebesman is just his puppet.

I thought Battle LA had good moments, but yea it could have been better.

If I Don't hear the word "OOZE" anytime soon with this movie's news, I am gonna start cutting myself. That rhymed, sort of. I grew up on this move, and threw many a tantrum if my sisters wouldnt put the movie on for me. I am waiting for more updates on this but stayin positive, ofcourse. I'm watching it but really, how do "Aliens" learn Ninjitsu?
