Posted February 22, 2013 Wow. Speechless. This is a terrrriiible casting choice. I'm going to buy the cartoons instead of paying to see this drivel. Edit: Just making sure, that wasn't a joke post, right? They are actually hiring Megan Fox for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 22, 2013 Hang on....why is that bad casting? A stunningly attractive, good, young, female actor? She is a terrible actress and this is a bad case of mis-casting. Add that with a bad director and you've got a recipe for disaster. Or did you not watch Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 Megan Fox is a good actress..... Transformers was awesome..... Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen was a hugely entertaining movie in places..... Post disregarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 Megan Fox is a good actress..... Transformers was awesome..... Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen was a hugely entertaining movie in places..... I can't agree with you on any of those. She is in no way a good actress. She's a pair of talking tits and adds nothing to the Transformers film apart from being visual eye candy. She is also dreadful in Jennifer's Body. As for Transformers, it is pretty much why I don't go to the cinema to watch action films anymore. All cheap explosions, shitty camera work, an almost non-existent plot and wooden acting. Every character in the transformers films is expendable, there is no depth to any of them. It's laughable that given its budget, it is worse in every single way than this. I have zero hope for this Turtles film. The bar has been set really low with the hiring of Megan Fox.

Posted February 22, 2013 I mean I know besides to make money. Why the fuck is this film being made? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 23, 2013 Why the fuck is a male lead even necessary? I can get that, with Transformers, shit's hard to animate with so much detail all the time. Plus, that franchise at least has some history of robots being occasionally helped by humans, so a film from a human perspective makes sense. But TMNT? He better talking about the actor who's playing Leonardo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2013 NINJA TURTLES Reboot Casts Its Leonardo, Donatello And Michaelangelo Pete Plozek (Parks And Recreation), Jeremy Howard (Galaxy Quest) and Noel Fisher (Battle: LA) join Alan Ritchson as Paramount's new Ninja Turtles. Additionally, the studio is looking to cast an actor for Shredder soon. Last week, we reported that Alan Ritchson (Smallville, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) was cast as Raphael in Paramount Pictures' planned reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, which will be produced by Michael Bay (Transformers) and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath Of The Titans). Now, thanks to Deadline, we now know who will be playing the rest of the Turtles. Pete Ploszek (Parks And Recreation, Shameless) will play Leonardo, Jeremy Howard (Galaxy Quest) is set for Donatello, and Noel Fisher (who previously worked with Liebesman on Battle: Los Angeles) is Michaelangelo. Megan Fox will play April O'Neil, and the site adds that the studio is hoping to cast an actor for the villainous Shredder soon. Unlike the original movies, the new Ninja Turtles will be motion captured a la Avatar, which will give them better exposure as Paramount hopes for the film to launch a new series. With production expected to begin next month, Ninja Turtles is set to hit theaters June 6th, 2014. What do you think of this casting? http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=76386 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2013 So they're gonna churn this out in 1yr!!... including all the 'Avatar' motion capture/visuals?... Tbh now I'm expecting even less! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 3, 2013 Will Arnett Joins Bay's Ninja Turtles Arrested Development and Up All Night star Will Arnett has officially been cast as one of the leads in producer Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles reboot. Arnett's role in the live-action/CG hybrid film is currently being kept a secret, but the actor joins Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, and Noel Fisher as Michelangelo. Still not cast at this point are Master Splinter or Shredder. However, we do know that Arnett is not playing Casey Jones, according to THR.

Posted April 16, 2013 Danny Woodburn Cast As 'Master Splinter' In NINJA TURTLES Reboot Danny Woodburn - perhaps best known for having played Mickey Abbott on the sitcom Seinfeld - has been cast as 'Master Splinter' in the Michael Bay produced and Jonathan Liebesman helmed Ninja Turtles. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael have all been found, but the cast of Ninja Turtles continues to grow as Danny Woodburn joins the reboot as 'Master Splinter'. He plays the mentor to the four heroes and recently starred in Mirror, Mirror and Watchmen. The live action/CG mashup is set to be released on June 6th, 2014. Michael Bay is producing what promises to be a very different take on the iconic franchise, while Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) will direct. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=77658 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
