Well I'm Out: Michael Bay Casts Megan Fox for Ninja Turtles


Well I hate to be one of "those fans", but what little hope Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot had, just went out the frickin' window.

If Bay's comment on his official site is anything to be taken at face value, then it looks as if Megan Fox has officially joined Ninja Turtles.

TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!

While the comment doesn't shed any light onto who she'll be portraying, there's a limited number of female characters she could ultimately play.  So more than likely it will be the Turtle's human ally, April O'Neil...which is just horrible casting in my opinion.

One thing that is a bit interesting from Bay's comment , which SuperHeroHype pointed out, is his use of "TMNT" (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the uninitiated).  Before the project was ultimately shelved due to script issues, Bay himself had indicated that the film would simply be titled Ninja Turtles.

With all the information that's come out about the film over the last year or so, I really hope it ends up falling apart.  It seems as if Bay really is going to completely alienate all Turtle fans, literally.  At least Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show is good.

What do you guys think?  Are you excited or horrified by the news?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.
