Michael Bay Talks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

If you aren’t aware the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming back to the big screen December 25, 2013 brought to you by team Bay. Michael Bay. One can only begin to imagine how action packed this is going to be. The film itself will be live-action. I enjoyed the TMNT flick but man did I wish that I was watching a live-action flick instead. Looks like I’ll be getting my wish. Yay for me.

The following video is Michael Bay talking at the 2012 Nickeloden Upfront on March 14, 2012 at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York.

Michael Bay: 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be aliens in revamp'

The comic book heroes are aliens in Transformers producer's live action revamp.

Michael Bay has revealed a new origin for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the upcoming film.

The producer has said that the characters will be aliens in the live-action revamp of the franchise.

"When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie," Bay said in a video at Nickelodeon Upfront posted by Stuff We Like.

"These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."

The reptilian heroes are famously known as pet turtles who mutated into anthropomorphic beings after being exposed to toxic waste in the sewers on New York City.

The franchise first launched as a black and white comic book in 1984. It achieved huge commercial success in the late '80s and early '90s, spawning several live-action films and cartoon series and a massive array of merchandise.

Director Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) is expected to helm the Ninja Turtles reboot for Paramount Pictures.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be released in US theatres on December 25, 2013.
