New live action "Turtles"?

[Taylirious]

Oh HELL NO! Ugh.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Megan Fox + Bay makes this even more trainwrecky.

 

[The Wormhole]

Oh wow. The ensuing behind the scenes drama is going to be entertaining enough.

 

[Captain Craig]

Maybe Megan Fox is going to play the revised April. The lab tech assistant in the new relaunch. Maybe she'll even dye her hair.

 

[Samurai8472]

Oh wow. The ensuing behind the scenes drama is going to be entertaining enough.

She'll know not to say something stupid this time.

Fox was an annoyance on the transformers sets.

Ehren Kruger (screenwriter, Transformers series): She was there for rehearsals. But she seemed like an actress who didn't want to be a part of it. She was saying she wanted to, but she wasn't acting like it.
Michael Bay: She was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven [Spielberg] said, "Fire her right now."

Rosie Huntington Whitley was less maintenance

Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was cast in Fox's place as the new female lead in the third "Transformers" film.
Ian Bryce, a producer on the "Transformers" series, tells the magazine that Whiteley "has done an enormously wonderful job for being a newcomer."
Bay added, "Rosie came in and she would say hello to the crew. She would acknowledge the crew. She'd say thank you."
Whiteley tells the magazine, "I was really grateful to everybody, from the people on the catering department to the camera boys to the producers to Shia."

^ It'd be wrong to assume that Fox is letting Bay... transform with her behind closed doors, right? I'm pretty sure that'd be wrong...

 

[Agent Richard07]

From a lot of her interviews, it sounds like she's just really introverted and it gets mistaken for blatant snobbishness or disinterest.

Yeah, that not saying hello to the crew thing strikes me as a pretty introverted trait.

Of course, comparing your boss to Hitler is just about the stupidest thing an employee could ever do. Well, unless you and your boss are neo-Nazis. There's no excuse for that.

 

[CorporalClegg]

This film has flop written all over it.

Frankly, Fox might be the one thing that save it.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

I'd be very surprised if Michael Bay would actually tolerate Megan Fox back on one of his sets considering the acrimony surrounding her departure from the Transformers franchise. But then, Aaron Spelling was able to forgive Shannon Dougherty once, so I guess anything's possible.

It's entirely possible that Megan Fox could do a decent April O'Neil. But I do find it unlikely. The only times I've liked her in anything were when she was playing some variation of the dumb slut persona that she seems to be cultivating in real life as well. She was actually pretty good in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Jennifer's Body, and This Is 40. But I hated her in Transformers. Her character just lacked a certain baseline humanity. I never understood what Shia LaBeouf's character was supposed to see in her. (I much preferred that blonde Australian computer hacker from the first movie.)

As for shortening the title to Ninja Turtles, I don't know what the big deal is. I thought it was an absolutely fine title for Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.

 

[The Wormhole]

In all honesty, I'm sure both Michael Bay and Megan Fox share equal blame for whatever went down between them with Transformers. Neither of them come off as particularly professional.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Well, evidently Bay and Fox are getting along fine now.

She's Really Red Hot Now! Megan Fox Transforms Her Look With Fiery New Locks

Glad she is all in on this one.

 

[USS Firefly]

Damn she is ugly, I think she needs more botox and liposuction

More set photos, this time with the "turtles" themselves, pre-CGI (click image for gallery):



Humans in a half-shell...

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm totally game for the turtles looking like that.

 

[Samurai8472]

Turtles all restrained. Looks like that bit from the rumored script stayed


http://www.sparknotes.com/mindhut/2...-bays-ninja-turtle-script-so-you-dont-have-to

As the film opens, an army colonel named Schrader stashes some secret government material by the name of Project Aries underneath a furniture factory where Casey Jones, a hockey-playing 18-year-old, works. Casey gets suspicious and finds, to no surprise, four captive bulky, six-foot turtles proficient in martial arts. He takes pity and frees them, and they make a daring escape. The Turtles then introduce themselves to Casey and explain their backstory, the one TMNT fans know and love.

And here's some video of that scene filming:

They Cliff Notes synopsis there read like an animated episode at best. When put into context of it being live action it also made me nauseous somewhat.
