Michael Bay To TMNT Fans: “CHILL”, Continues Missing Point.

Michael Bay could hear the Collective crapping their pants in apoplexy yesterday when it was revealed the Douche-Pro envisions his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be…an alien race. His suggestion? “Chill”, like wasn’t the guy who had already destroyed a childhood love.

Slashfilm:

Yesterday a quote from Michael Bay surfaced in which the producer/director said that the Platinum Dunes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Bay and to be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, would feature characters that are “from an alien race.” Fans of the property flipped out a bit, but at the time Bay hadn’t taken to his own forums to respond.

Now he has, and his statement is about what you’d expect:

Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world.

A richer world! That adds unneeded complexity for extra incoherence!
