Michael Bay, why can't you leave my childhood alone? That's right, last week Bay, whose production company Platinum Dunes currently owns the rights to TMNT, released a statement that made my heart hurt. He said, and I quote:
“When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable.”
... What?!
I hope Bay was just mistaken about the origins of the Turtles, but needless to say my hope of a decent revival of the TMNT movie franchise has been dashed somewhat.
THIS JUST IN!
Sources say that the movie's title will be changed to simply "Ninja Turtles."
