Ever since Michael Bay let slip the the upcoming reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might tweak the origin of the heroes in a half-shell, fans have been up in arms.
Bay is on the defensive now, saying that fans shouldn’t blame him, but Paramount.
“Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple,” he writes on his web site. “The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan [Liebesman] the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE’S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.”
So, do you believe him?
Can’t believe people really care about this!
I am not a Turtle fan but I still think this is stupid. If they want to make a different type of movie then it shouldn’t be a Turtles movie. It would be like a doing Star Trek reboot and making Spock a Klingon!
