Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens

Nidi62 writes "We all know that Michael Bay loves to put 86 minutes of explosions into a 90-minute movie. But it appears that he has found a new way to screw up a movie. He is directing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot in which the turtles are not created with ooze: they are 'from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.' No word yet on whether he's consulting with George Lucas on how to totally destroy the origin and essence of a classic story." Responding to criticism, Bay thoughtfully explained that fans need to "chill."

The `insightful' mod isn't because people think that it is a factual report, but that it is insightful that the Onion, a comical `news' source, basically predicted the article.

Life imitates art, blah blah blah....
