Michael Bay appeared at the Lincoln Center in New York to talk about the upcoming TMNT movie that his company, Platinum Dunes, will be producing. If you're a big fan of the Ninja Turtles, you're not going to like what he had to say.

So what do you thi---wait...what??

"When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable." - Michael Bay


Um, ok...well let me know what you think about this below.

So I don't get the context of "alien race" because does that mean he's changing the origin to where they come from outer space or does be just see them as that because they're genetically mutated from ooze?

I don't think his saying his gonna change the origin. I think he just don't know much about the turtles and just assume that they are from an alien race.

why does this [frick]ing loser get to keep [frick]ing up mine and many others childhood memories?

what the turtles are is in the [frick]ing name. Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles. not Teenage ALIEN Ninja Turtles. someone in that audience should have merced this douchebag and saved us from another piece of shit cgi abomination that takes a shit on classic material.

I dunno, their origin is already ridiculous as is, being aliens isn't that far off lol. But I see why people are like 'huh?' I don't care either way, as long as it's good and makes more sense than mutanted turtles in a sewer who get taught ninja fighting and skills by a [frick]ing rat, then we'll be just fine lol. Neither of the "origins" make sense if you really think about it.

Didn't sound like he was joking to me. Either way who cares? I like TMNT but not enough to see it in the theater and not enough to give a single f**k what their origin is as long as they kick the crap out of Shredder and the foot clan.

im still pissed they gave that idiot 2 and a half hours for transformers 3 (with 45 minutes of shia le-gay looking for a job, cut with slomo ass shots of whats-her-face), and Thor barely got 1 hour 45 minutes. If michael bay ever touches another comicbook again im gonna find the nearest living thing and kill it.

Bay needs to pick a kiddie franchise from the past to destroy that nobody cares about and wouldn't mind seeing bastardized and retroactively molested:
(Captain Planet & The Planeteers or Power Rangers spring to mind...)
