Bay Responds to Reviews of Ninja Turtles Script

It was revealed a few days ago that the screenplay for producer Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles was leaked online, resulting in an outpouring of negative reviews. Among those who read the script was TMNT co-creator Peter Laird, who had this to say:

"I think the script that I read is so fundamentally flawed, and -- more to the point -- so NOT a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, that trying to make piecemeal changes to it in an effort to make it into something halfway decent is probably a fool's errand. 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."

On the whole, fan reactions weren't much better. However, Bay recently issued a response to this brouhaha, explaining the situation:

"The leaked script that different sites continue to comment on was written well before I, or anyone at Platinum Dunes, was involved with the project. That script saw the shredder a long time ago. This is tired, old news -- wait for the movie!"

Ill-timed "Shredder" pun aside, Latino Review also points out that the script had a 1/30/12 date, which was two years after Bay and Platinum Dune were attached the project in late May 2010. Suspicious, no?

the same people who were involved with the 2007 TMNT movie should be involved with this one..

point blank period...

Same with the Justice League movie... Just give it to the people who do the animated movies and step back...

Stop it...don't be ridiculous.

So you haven't seen Spiderman 3

Yeah worst Spiderman ever....whats your point?

That regular peoples fan fictions are better than Hollywood writers... That the people that wrote Batman TAS and JLU are vets and apart of our childhoods... That they went from shows to little movies and have gotten better... That they been doing this for 20 years... We know they have integrity and they will make a good JL movie...

No they arent...again stop it!

Fan fiction is just that...stories written by nobodies on the internet. It is a FAR FAR cry from writing an actual MOVIE script and screenplay. Scripts and Screenplays have and need technical nuances and requirements that _Justic52342_ on Superhero hype just has no idea how to implement artfully and fluidly. Why? Because they arent screenwriters.

Secondly...making an ANIMATED movie and making a live action movie are MILES AND MILES apart. How can you not see that? Dealing with real actors, sets, props, locations are so far outside the scope of animated directors and writers that it would be an absolute disaster.

hopefully these events solidify's that this movie never see's the light of day.

how hard can it be to make a decent TMNT movie? base that shit on the original comic book and have it be a bit more dark & mature like the dark night movies. shit would be epic.

Hell yea it would.

This shit needs to be requoted just for how raw the artwork is. I right click saved that shit like I was 7 years old.

 
whatever they do...theyre gonna be hard pressed to beat the one from 1990...that shit was gritty , funny and stay true to the comic...lol @ ralph cursing twice within the first 15 minutes....shredder was that nigga how he had an underground cult of kids worshiping him and shit...his voice was on point also and his cockiness at the end on the rooftop scene was GOAT
 
Holy Shit! This was fucking horrible! Hahahaha!

They used the exact same formula as the Transformers series.

The turtles were the most unlikeable set of cunts I've ever seen on the silver screen.
