Just read. From Comic Book Resources.
While it's not news that the Hollywood heavyweight's Platinum Dunes production company is tackling Paramount Pictures' "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film reboot for a December 2013 release, specific details -- outside of "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" screenwriters Josh Applebaum and Andrew Nemec writing the project -- have been slim. According to StuffWeLike.com, at this past week's Nickelodeon Upfront Michael Bay revealed the basic premise of the live-action film, which will likely ruffle the feathers of the Turtles' fanbase.
"Kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles do exist, when we are done with this movie," said Bay. "These Turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."
As those who grew up with the TMNT in their various incarnations know, "tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable" isn't far from the mark, but transforming the origin of Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello from "pet store amphibians dipped in radioactive goo" to "members of an alien race" is not only likely to upset longtime Turtles fans, but also seems to leave the appropriateness of the descriptive "Mutant" somewhat up in the air.
Check out the video clip from Bay's presentation below, and stay tuned to CBR News for more "TMNT" news in the months ahead. |

| If it's produced by Michael Bay, I don't want any part of it. |

| I guessing there will be nonstop explosions in the new TMNT movie, since it's Michael Bay's movie. |

@Scary
He will also recycle footage from Pearl Harbor, and the Transformers trilogy.
That reminds me of an ancient hawaiian saying: When you recycle various work of yours, smooth move bonehead. |

Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
Leonardo: "Hey, guys, let's..." *Explosion, slow-motion* Raphael: "Guys, it's..." *Explosion, slow-motion* Splinter: "Ah, a nice cup of..." *Explosion, slow-motion* |

| Please tell me that this is some kind of sick joke, and isn't really being made. |

Battleship and this are obviously going to be about aliens and explosions. You know the plot for TMNT, but Battleship is:
A NAVY unit finds a block in the ocean (plastic. XD) which turns out to be an ALIEN race with lots of EXPLOSIONS before a soldier marries the General's daughter- THE END |

Battleship's plot from Wikipedia: In the Hawaiian Islands, an international naval fleet at Pearl Harbor engage in a dynamic and intense battle against an alien species known as "The Regents". The aliens come to planet Earth on a mission to build a power source in the ocean. Upon their visit, they come in contact with the naval fleet. The film is also purported to show both sides of the story, from the aliens' perspective, as well as the humans' so the audience knows exactly where the opponent's ships are. |
