| Michael Bay, play close attention: STOP. |
So, not content with fucking up one beloved children's cartoon, it would seem that Michael Bay is financing / producing the next celluloid balls-up: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Here are some of the on-scene photos.
The guys in center are the actors who will later be replaced by CGI characters. Not a good start to things, I personally have a soft spot for the old rubber suits and masks. CGI rarely ever convinces, even when it's done right- Gollum as an example: good but not really 'there'.
Who the fuck are the masked terrorist types? Please, God, don't tell me they're the Foot Clan...

| Stand-ins for the CGI turtles in center. |
Hey, here's Megan Fox, in the role of April O'Neil. Wrong, wrong, wrong... I know that sounds nerdy, but either treat the source material with a little reverence or just make a completely different story! Nobody ever does, it's much better to leech off of the already established success of a franchise than it is to make your own way.

| Fail. |
Finally, and I can't speak for authenticity, but this could be the new-look for the Turtle characters. I can believe that as these look too pro for fan art, but I could be mistaken. I'm not a big fan of the face, but it's odd seeing any Turtle without their trademark bandanna...

| Interesting, but is this true? |
My hopes aren't high...
