Despite saying “These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable.” last year, Michael Bay has said today that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will have their original backstory which includes the ooze.
The initial script was so terrible that TMNT creator Peter Laird said, “In my opinion, the thing should just be tossed out, deliberately forgotten, and the process of generating a new script, really a new outline, then treatment, then script – should be started again.”
So many things are going against this movie that maybe the news that Michael Bay will be sticking to the origins is a small glimmer of hope in what seems fated to be a disastrous movie.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to be released June 6, 2014 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Turtles.
