A year ago, or so, Ninja Turtles reboot producer, Michael Bay, broke the internet when he announced that the turtles will be aliens from outer space and that the movie will be called Ninja Turtles, removing the words “Teenage Mutant”. Fans went berserk and outraged at the blasphemy. Things did not go any better when a supposed script for the movie leaked proving that not only the Turtles and Splinter are from another planet, but that Shredder is now Colonel Shrader, a military dude who reveals himself at the end of the movie as an alien with spikes coming out of his body.

Things got better for us fans couple weeks ago when Paramount showed the movie logo, at CinemaCon, and the words “Teenage Mutant” were back. And now finally speaking about the controversy to Moviphone, Mr Bay himself confirmed that the Turtles will not be aliens and that the movie will be sticking, very closely, to the source material.  Read more...

The past year has seen some crazy turn of events regarding Paramount’s upcoming TMNT movie reboot. First rumored that the turtles would be aliens, and later confirmed in a leaked script, then Bay officially announces the movie title as “Ninja Turtles” dropping the flagship words “Mutant” and “Teenage”. Things got even worse when paramount announced a delay in production signing the movie being in trouble.

But everything seems to be getting better now, as the script has been rewritten by Evan Daugherty, filming has just started, and to everyone’s surprise, Paramout showed the first logo for the movie during their CinemaCon presentation, and the logo clearly reads “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”

Does this mean our four favorite heroes are once again mutated turtles instead of aliens from another planet ? We sure hope so!
