Pre-Production On Ninja Turtles Shut Down

Producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman's live action Ninja Turtles reboot has been temporarily shut down.  Why?  Paramount and Bay himself don't like the script. The film has been pushed back from Christmas 2013 to May 2014 instead, and Deadline is reporting that it has more to do with budget than the actual script and that Paramount wants a more budget friendly script for the film.  Ninja Turtles is a live action with motion capture reboot of the very popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is now due in theaters in May 2014!

Ninja Turtles

  For the last week or so the internet has been buzzed by the revelation that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be of "alien" origin in the new live action reboot.  Fans have been in an uproar over this and Bay, along with creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird have tried to get fans to calm down.  bay has said they are simply "expanding" the mythology and to hold judgement until we all see what they have in store.
     Director Jonathan Liebesman has also chimed in saying the following: "Look, it's so funny... if everyone was such a die-hard fan, they would know that the TCRI cannisters 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... Whatever mythology we're building on or expanding is coming from that guy, Kevin Eastman's head, who created the Turtles in the first place. And so everything will tie in with the mythology; fans will be extremely excited with what we're coming up with. A lot of it is stuff he's wanted to do for a long time, but just hasn't had the opportunity because now we have the budget and things on this film to expand it in the right way. And so, I'm happy that everyone is extremely passionate, and they will not be disappointed. It's all coming from the best possible place for this franchise."
     Now today a new report suggest that the film will simply be called Ninja Turtles.  Let the fan cry out begin again.
