Michael Bay

Oh Really?

Whoopi Goldberg Will Be In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reboot, Apparently

Or at least she’s been spotted on the set. Geek Tyrant speculates that her role is only a cameo, which makes sense, because if she were going to be a major character surely there would’ve been some sort of casting announcement, right?

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand: Whoopi Goldberg! Yay! On the other: I will be surprised if the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles is any good. But hey, if nothing else this bit o’ news has given us a pic of Ms. Goldberg with some truly wondrous hair.

First Look At Megan Fox As April From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yellow Jacket And All

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:10 pm, May 9th, 2013

SuperheroHype got their hands on some of our first images of Megan Fox from Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It may not be a jumpsuit but this yellow jacket is probably the closest we’ll get to April O’Neil’s classic look in the movie. One more shot of her by a news van with co-star Will Arnett after the jump.

Never Mind, Says Michael Bay. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Aren’t Aliens Anymore.

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, April 29th, 2013

Remember how Michael Bay caused a freakout of epic proportions when he announced the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie he’s producing, called simply Ninja Turtles, will reboot the turtles as aliens? Well now he’s saying that not only are the turtles not aliens (yay!), they were never going to be aliens to begin with (bzuh?).

Michael Bay Says He Was Misquoted; Is Totally Not Sorry for Armageddon

by Susana Polo | 11:42 am, April 23rd, 2013

Breaking news hit yesterday that filmmaking’s least ashamed horrible multi-million dollar blockbuster maker Michael Bay was actually repentant about one of his films… and it was one of his films that everybody generally kind of liked. I mean, it’s not like it was Oscar worthy, but it was good clean shlocky fun, and worlds (or at least asteroids) more repeatedly watchable than Deep Impact.

Yes. Yesterday, it was revealed that Michael Bay is sorry for how Armageddon turned out. Except he’s not, and has taken to his personal blog to throw shade on anybody who directly quoted the interview.

“It’s rare that you have a poster that is just Chris Hemsworth shooting on the set,” said Marvel president of production Kevin Feige. “But he just looks like Thor. We just put in some lightning, and he’s got his hammer and you’re there.” Duh, because Hemsworth IS Thor. (via USA Today)

Guillermo del Toro Responds To Perceived Michael Bay Insult With Glorious Snark

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:11 am, April 19th, 2013

Arbiter of cinematic quality Michael Bay, during a CinemaCon presentation for his upcoming film Pain & Gain, took Hollywood to task for the “rip-off” robot movies that have been made since Bay’s Transformers. Now, we don’t know whether that was intended as a dig at Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim, which had a CinemaCon presentation the following day. But based on del Toro’s statement to The Hollywood Reporter, he sure took it as one.

Any day where someone takes Bay down a peg is a good day. Click the cut and revel in the snark.

Or maybe Alan Ritchson is just really getting into character as the hotheaded Raphael?

Not that we’re looking forward to Michael Bay’s Ninja Turtles movie or anything but we were interesting to find out who he’d be casting as Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. Now we know they’ve hired actors from The Hunger Games, Twilight, Parks and Recreation, and Galaxy Quest.
