So, the movie is apparently being pushed back because the script leaked to a fan site and it was unanimously sucky.

"Where to begin? First off, the turtles aren’t turtles at all—they’re aliens from Dimension X that look like turtles, but are really “the chosen ones of their race.” Further, they appear to be the supporting characters in a film that is about Casey Jones, who happens to be “an 18 year old security guard for a furniture factory and amateur hockey player.” Seriously. Oh, and he’s dating April O’Neil, who is moving to New York City. And, he’s the one who gives the Ninja Turtles their color-coded bandanas, so that he may more easily tell them apart. And, Shredder is now some dude named Colonel Schrader."
At least this abomination isn't going to happen, but I'm sure they won't come up with something much better.

What is it about Bay and refusing to make non-humans the center of his films?!

Maybe, since he's not one himself, he finds it difficult to write for them in terms of motivation, backstory, etc.
But in all seriousness, Casey gives them the bandanas so he can tell them apart? This could be construed as yet another example of subtle racism in the "crapfest loosely based on a kids' TV show from the 1980s/1990s, directed by Michael Bay" genre.

Michael Bay can't put one distinct personality in a movie, so he sure as hell can't make four.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

I also thought Thomas Ian Griffith would make a splended Shredder.

I, for one, cannot wait to see Super Shredder's balls in the sequel.

Would it be wise to have the same guy who directed The Texas Chainsaw Masscre: The Beginning, to direct the new TMNT?
Also, I'm going to have to come to Bay's defense just a little, as I've always thought of most of his films as a lesser alternative to James Cameron's. Bay's movies are usually full of eye candy, but unfortunatly there's also tons of nonsense, much unlike a Cameron film where he can suspend disbelief even in his most insane movies.
I know, putting the two of them together is almost blasphemy, but I knowingly put myself at risk.

The Rock was pretty good. Hell, it's part of the fucking Criterion Collection.
But I don't think anyone over the age of 7 enjoyed any of the Transformers movies beyond maybe (MAYBE) the first one.

I actually liked the first Transformers movie, but my good friend hated it calling it "cheesy", which was justified for sure. After that the only thing interesting about the movies were how some of the bitchy actors blasted Micheal Bay. Now I can understand fans talking shit, but the people who work for him making good money?
