no, no... you have to think from Bay's perspective. If the transformers films are any indication, Bay likes to pick models first and actresses second. Emma watson does not have a high enough level of sex appeal for Bay. Natalie Portman might better suit his tastes; but i think she's a decent enough actress to have better things to perform in than a bay film...

Well, don't forget, Gargoyles is owned by Disney so I doubt they would ever allow Bay to handle something that they thought might invite a child audience

One has to wonder if the turtles themselves would actually be the main characters in this. If the Transformers movies are an indication, the turtles could easily become a "background element" to a bunch of humans characters nobody cares about.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Wonder if Bay will get Stalone to cast Casey Jones...if he makes an appearance :P After T3, which I absolutely hated (20 minutes of getting-a-job filler and another load of gf trash), I highly doubt I'll be watching this one. There's SO MUCH original material to use, and Bay goes out of his way to discard it, for the sake of...something "better".

Omph... we may have to suffer through a very poorly written Casey Jones and April relationship for about half the film along with a bunch of unnecessary new characters before the turtles show up.

I wonder, will Bay have Apirl just loose any conservative pieces of her clothes throughout the film, or will he take the idea of a yellow jumpsuit and use that as an excuse to put her into a skin tight jumpsuit with very obvious cleavage. Y'know, for kids

Shouldn't this thread be rename as Teenage Alien Ninja Turtle

............no!

He-Man
She-Ra

plenty of T&A

But they were originally PG versions of Conan the Barbarian! If you make live action versions of them you just get Conan back again.:heh:

They already did a He-Man: Masters of the Universe movie..in the late 80s I think.

YES PLEASE!!! With Epic guitar rifting and The Turbo-Cat please!!

Back on topic:
Do you guys think Micheal Bay has the capability to butcher TMNT? Or do you think it wont be that bad because I myself thought Transformers were ok interms of mindless CG destruction show. :(

I really hope they don't become background characters, and I hope that the military doesn't become involved. They tend to take over any film they get involved in (because of the clauses the military has with Hollywood).

But thinking about it now... the "turtles" crash on Earth, the Foot come along in their giant ninja-technospaceship, and the military goes all independence day on them and gets all the screen time because... explosions, and the turtles and Shredder (Kraang, I guess since he's an alien brain thing) gets 5 minutes to battle it out with some ninja-fighting, then its back to the grand finale with the military blowing up the Foot's Technospaceship. The day is saved, and Casey (who's ex-military or whatever) ends up hooking up with April, and the Turltes are standing behind them as the screen goes black.

Do not want.

If the CGI isn't as crazy as it was in Transformers, which is pretty expensive, it could have the potential to be a passable movie. But I'm not really all that hopeful in the story department. It really depends how they go with it and who's involved.

I think at this point the gist of the thread is "what is the most idiotic thing Bay could take up next and ruin?"

Dora the Explorer... Michael Bay style?

Sponge Bob .... Bay-ified?

And yeah, there was a live-action He-Man in the 80s.... in typical low-budget fashion of the time they spent about 10 minutes on home turf before ending up in 1980s surburbia to fight it out. That's my recollection anyway :P

Actually I think a Michael Bay-ified Power Puff Girls could be bloody hilarious. Probably horrifying beyond comprehension, but hilarious.

Ooooooh, now that's *evil* :)

Wouldn't that just be Panty & Stockings?

Aye.. but live-action :)

Johnny Quest, Bannon and Haji will get a sex change :uhoh:

like that would stop Hollywood and there is no She-Ra yet unless you count Red Sonia.

Huh.

It turns out that Michael Bay will simply be the Producer and the directing is to be done by Jonathan Liebesman (Clash of the Titans)

“Look, it’s so funny—if everyone was such a die-hard fan, they would know that the TCRI canisters where the ooze comes from. That is alien ooze. Now I’m not saying what Michael said is exactly what the movie is, because we’re sitting in a room now figuring everything out. So we don’t know, but we are like Michael said: we’re expanding it, and the expansion will be true to the mythology. I promise you: fans will love it.”

So maybe it won't be as bad as we thought it'd be....

So the 3 movie they made wont be the worse movies of the franchise

Everyone would had a different answer to that, we did not have watched or read the same stuff.
Good thing than he isn't much likely to get near any ''BD'' from France or Belgium :heh: .
