[Sewer Sirens Podcast]

Saw that! (And even though I think it's highly unlikely), it would be super cool for them to release something exclusive/special/new on the show, since May 5th is the 30th anniversary.

[Galactus]

Has she got another project out that she's plugging?

That might alter whether she'll be full on love mode for this movie like Will Arnett was on the Today Show or just kinda "yeah it's okay I guess" like Will Arnett on Conan when the question gets brought up.

Well, In that interview from from Entertainment Weekly, She established herself as being a huge TMNT fan and such, So we will see how she promotes it on the show.

yea

[Radical Raph]

Woohoo! Maybe we'll see a clip?

[sethmartin]

She's appearing on the Ellen show ON the 30th anniversary! I have a feeling it will be somewhat Turtles related. Hopefully she spills some new info.

Yeah they always tape early. They know the date it's going to air when they film it. It's a mighty big coincidence that she's appearing on that date.

[tmntmikey23]

just was watch ellen and saw a clip for her megan fox interview

[The Fifth Turtle]

On the 30th anniv! They HAVE to show something tmnt related.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

$5 says they'll show the exact same stuff we've all seen a hundred times.

[Donatello19]

Hopefully she will talk about the new TMNT movie.


Woohoo! Maybe we'll see a clip?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Given how poorly promoted the film's been so far, I doubt they'd show a clip or preview on Ellen, of all places.

[The Stryker]

huge turtle fan my butt she trying to save her job so us fans like her

Yeah totally impossible for a rich, attractive, actress to be a fan of something normal.

She's kinda dropped hints about her sneaky geek side for a long time now.

[samxsteal]

She even has an interview about how much she likes the turtles so yeah there is that.

[Pondslider]

If they showed a clip they'd actually have to show one where she speaks so.

[METALHEAD]

on ellen degenerate huh? cool.

[graphic_content]

If they showed a clip they'd actually have to show one where she speaks so.

If she is having a convo with one of the Turtles, say Raphael, then I'm game.

[Pondslider]

on ellen degenerate huh? cool.

So hip and edgy.

[Sewer Sirens Podcast]

IF they showed a clip (and that's a big IF), it would probably feature banter between Vernon and April, with no turtles. I highly doubt they're going to start releasing clips with the turtles in them yet.

[TigerClaw]

That seems logical, If they just showed a clip of her talking to Vernon about something.

[Shark_Blade]

Megan's gonna ace it. :tcool: Like a Queen.

[Lou 500]

So hip and edgy.

I get the impression he doesn't like Ellen Degeneres.

[graphic_content]

That seems logical, If they just showed a clip of her talking to Vernon about something.

The screener leak of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' was traced back to Ellen. The studio apparently gave the show an advance copy to secure clips for the show, to show during interviews with the stars - now, I'm not expecting a full on leak of the movie, still, one can dream.

[Galactus]

Yeah totally impossible for a rich, attractive, actress to be a fan of something normal.

I'm pretty sure she's a fan in the sense she watched a fair bit of the Fred Wolf show and the first two movies which is by no means a bad thing but surely not what a lot of people mean when when they talk about being a "fan".

Not that it would make her a better or worse actress in this role anyway or have the ability to steer the character or movie in a better direction.

Not that it would make her a better or worse actress in this role anyway or have the ability to steer the character or movie in a better direction. pretty much this. In her interview with ign she says she really liked the original cartoon and movies as a kid and that's about it. That's great and all but doesn't inspire me with enough confidence to believe she'll own this role.

I really hate snobbish behavior like this. So, she's less of a fan because she doesn't like the TMNT like the way you do.:roll:

[Puddinpop]

April was one of those roles " to me anyways" that managed to be a plot driven character but at the same time her role wasn't crazy important substance or difficulty wise. I don't think that Fox has to be completely obsessed with Ninja Turtles to perform well. I think shell be the most involved April this time though. I have a feeling that shell nail it. She wrote on her Twitter that its the pinnacle of her career so far.. something like that. I think its a good thing that she finally has been given a role where she isn't reduced to a shallow eye candy and now she can show the internet " who has been absolutely disgusting" that she can hold her own. Being Beautiful should never be a disadvantage but in a world full of envy and Jealousy it comes with the territory.

[DarkLightDragon]

Pretty sure her being eye-candy is one (or the only) reason why she's in the movie and why she has a major role at all.

And no, I'm sorry, her being a supposed fan of TMNT means jack squat when it'll come to her performance in this movie. You can say you're a fan of something, but that doesn't mean you can still screw up at doing something with it.

*Glares over at M. Night and his handling of Last Airbender*

[BabyTurtles]

I'm pretty sure she's a fan in the sense she watched a fair bit of the Fred Wolf show and the first two movies which is by no means a bad thing but surely not what a lot of people mean when when they talk about being a "fan".

what makes a "fan"?? (or what do people mean when they say "fan") Do you have to watch everything about the show? read all the comics? and watch all the movies? before you're considered a "fan"?

Cause...I haven't watched all the movies, I don't like the 80's turtles...and I don't read any of the comics.

does that not make me a "fan"?? :ohwell:

or did you mean hardcore fan??

[Galactus]

I really hate snobbish behavior like this. So, she's less of a fan because she doesn't like the TMNT like the way you do.:roll:

I purposefully wrote my post to avoid anyone thinking that way,.

I stress there is nothing wrong with identifying themselves as a fan and liking TMNT in that way.

However there seems to be an argument that Megan is a die hard that knows all about TMNT and thus can steer the April character in a direction we as fans will like.

It's kind of like how people vehemently argued that we should take Alan Ritcman's word that the movie is good because he claimed he was a huge fan and then it turned out he didn't really know much about it at all beyond some half remembered memories of the Fred Wolf and seemed to sneer at the idea of looking deeper into it.

pretty much this. In her interview with ign she says she really liked the original cartoon and movies as a kid and that's about it. That's great and all but doesn't inspire me with enough confidence to believe she'll own this role.

And again I'll say there's nothing wrong with that.

Even if theoretically she was a really big fan that knew the franchise well I don't think she's in any position to steer the movie in the right direction. She needs the work.

I think it's interesting that someone like William Fichtner might but obviously he wasn't a fan and it's slightly disappointing that he seems to have no more knowledge of the franchise than when he started.

Even more disappointing is that while he is aware that the character he is playing is an original one he seems to have been purposefully misled into believing that this is normal for the Shredder to be a random character and it's no big deal to the fans.

Obviously the idea of TMNT sounds like complete nonsense to him so looking deeper into it wouldn't be something he'd be eager to do but I'd be curious if early on if you'd manage coax him into reading TMNT #1 and maybe 'Return to NY' give him the DVD of the original mini-series and the Steve Barron movie he might have been inclined to go "hey Michael I've been skimming through some Turtles stuff and I haven't seen a Shredder that isn't Oroku Saki...and this Saki character seems pretty important"...I dunno maybe not but it'd be nice to think that.

[BabyTurtles]

I kinda wonder...what would make a good April?

I mean...it seems like being April would be kinda easy...

Just wondering, where did you get this information from? (Not doubting you or anything, i actually want to know)

[Galactus]

http://youtu.be/KCLQxCeYfhw?t=9m33s

He talks about the Eric Sachs character and how he becomes the Shredder specifically here.

[Fjaj]

Ah, Yeah I've seen that before. but I didn't really pick up on what he said about "becoming" shredder.

[graphic_content]

I wonder if every actor attached to a film with a rabid fanbase (ie. TMNT, GI JOE, anything MARVEL, or DC, etc.) feel this overwhelming pressure from the fans to say (even lie) that they've been fans for years themselves. I wonder if they reason, that they wont get the respect or support if they don't.

For months, Alan Ritchson's twitter was promoting his role as Raphael, and I was sincerely disappointed to hear that he spent little to no time in the source material - in fact during an interview, he talks about just speaking with the director, and establishing a base character tone, and he just took off from there.

while I can appreciate the fact that every actor wants to own their role, at least flip through a few comics, and try to get into a character's head before making decisions on his portrayal.

Sometimes actors don't research there roles and they just do there own take on it.

Sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't.

[slingtheory]

Sometimes actors don't research there roles and they just do there own take on it.

Sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't. its just a matter of opinion but li feel like this is the wrong way to go when dealing with pre existing characters. Your job is to bring to life a character millions of people have formed and emotional attachment to and to do that to best effect it wouldn't hurt to know their history. There's nothing wrong with wanting to add something of your own to it but you need to have the foundation to build on.

[SwiftNinjaFox]

well, The episode was already taped since there were some screenshots of it from the Megan Fox fansite

What would happen to Megan Fox's career if TMNT actually did bomb at the box office?

Well....

Couldn't help but think of:
"Trevor, you told me that when you got this role, you had researched it thoroughly."
"Yeah, but when an actor tells you he's done the research, it means he switched on his computer, Googled his own name, and had a quick wank."

I can so totally see her try some reality show when her kids get older.

[Shark_Blade]

Or she can go back to drawing comics, or open a modelling agency.

She's got many talents, she has nothing much to worry about. I have faith in her. :tlove:

[SwiftNinjaFox]

/sigh

Really? Really, people?

I get NOTHING for that pic and "money in the banana stand" crack? :cry:

Show airs tomorrow, Hope you all setup your DVR/Tivos in case they show a clip. And dont be surprise when it gets posted online.

The show Airs for me at 4pm EST.

I appreciate that. Not a lot of people are exactly aware of or have seen Arrested Development, so it's nice to see a little joke regarding that here.

[TigerClaw]

Quick reminder, The show airs today, So check your listings.

[Radical Raph]

How much you wanna bet, if there is a clip, it won't have the turtles in it. Probably just Vernon and April.

Given that Still that we seen, What if its from that scene, Where April and Vernon are talking and are by a table with all those weapons?

[Pondslider]

It would probably just be the clip of her fainting.

Welp.. not only did we NOT get a smidge of footage.. not one word about her new movie. All baby/kitten talk. Let the " OMG SHES EMBARRASSED OF THE FILM I KNEW IT WOULD SUCK " rants begin lol

Edit: My apologies, two or three words about the movie. I hope she really doesn't say that lol. I'm sure she doesn't..............She better F*&%=** NOT!!!

[SwiftNinjaFox]

More "they filmed this to air on the 30th anniversary and didn't even mention it? WHERE THE HELL IS THE MARKETING DIRECTOR FOR THIS THING?!?!"

There aren't enough famous actor facepalm pics to convey my feelings.

[TigerClaw]

That's just a clip, Im sure there will be more, Who knows.

[chrisdude]

The movie's not out until August. Actors don't make the talk show rounds until like the week of release. I'm sure she's on Ellen for entirely different reasons.

This is true.. ( takes deep breath puts down the machete ) I guess its ok then. Plus she just had a baby and they probably wanted to talk children so I understand. She did mention that it was an action movie and that there was a lot of running and screaming and jumping and fighting. Or maybe she was talking about making babies still? Who knows.. She IS absolutely beautiful.

[sethmartin]

Well that clip is only 4 min. The interview should be much longer. That's on the Ellen website so they probably used that clip to appeal to Ellen fans (stay at home moms, house wives etc.) That doesn't mean they won't talk about the turtles.

[samxsteal]

So they Played the trailer so far and the reaction was great from the audience


Edit: she talks about how much of a fan she was growing up. She tried very hard to get the part.
No new footage but the most recent trailer

[marcelangelo]

so...this show is ON right now?sorry, Im not from the us and couldn't really tell...
haha, do you guys think 'take this shredder' was only a joke or will she really say these lines somewhere in the movie;)hahaha
I like her a lot already...

[graphic_content]

you guys know that Ellen's target demographic ISNT hardcore TMNT fans, right? of course she is gonna spend more time talking about her children - life doesnt revolve around the turtles for Megan Fox, and certainly not for Ellen -

- I've even noticed this trend on late night television, hosts will touch upon their guest latest project, but its really about bringing their personality forward, and who they are behind the scenes, more than being one big commercial.

Definitely think it's a joke ... really hoping it's a joke ...I think it was an over exaggeration like she might be like "lets go get shredder" but i doubt she going to lok right at him and challenge him to a fight

[MastahShredder]

Is there a link? What'd she say about Shredder?

[TigerClaw]

I really doubt what she says about the Shredder is something she actually says in the movie, Maybe she just said that when describing working on the movie.

[samxsteal]

Is there a link? What'd she say about Shredder?
i recorded it she was talking about doing the movie while being pregnamt and how she was running around doing stunts and saying" lets go shredder" but im pretty sure its just a over exaggeration, but i do think she will be a "stronger" April then is past version not as strong as nicks april kunoichi
I really doubt what she says about the Shredder is something she actually says in the movie, Maybe she just said that when describing working on the movie.

yeah i think she was.

[TigerClaw]

When talking about TMNT, She says she was a fan ever since watching those VHS tapes when she was a kid. Also She was trying really hard to get the part and knows they probably would've cast someone who makes a better Journalist, then someone whose a huge fan, But she got lucky.

[BubblyShell22]

Yep, she talked about being a hardcore fan and watching it with her sister. Clip was what we've already seen. I really hope that the line she said, "Is that what you got Shredder?" is NOT in the movie and that she was just joking. If it is, then I really won't be happy. Ellen did give her gifts for her kids that were Turtle suits. One was Raph and one was Mikey, and Megan said that her kids were like those Turtles. That was pretty much it.

[graphic_content]

it was a JOKE - she was describing her time on set, being pregnant, and having to do action sequences, it was all part of the banter that was happening, and the charm of the moment.

she got a laugh from the audience, so the joke did its job.

we really don't have anything to worry about...regarding this line.

Here's the interview

[Shark_Blade]

Cool, thanks for sharing! :D

[SwiftNinjaFox]

The part about not wanting to hear your own voice "droning on and on and on" was funny. Okay, nice to hear a celebrity, particularly an actor, also feel the the "I hate my voice on the answering machine" pain.

I've always wondered how many actors see their film and think "gah, I sound horrible on film. I don't sound like that, do I?" I know some actors/actresses actually avoid seeing their own films.

[Shark_Blade]

Yeah like Johnny Depp and Gillian Anderson, never seen their own films.

Megan Fox was funny and enjoying herself on Ellen. :tlove:

Here's a video I found on tumblr http://kikakattioi.tumblr.com/post/84874304237/very-interesting-i-didnt-think-megan-fox-would-be

But i have heard Tom Hanks doesn't much like watching him self

[MastahShredder]

So she's a huge JP fan and thinks it would ruin the movie if she was in it but "I don't know, this is different".

http://i.imgur.com/Jz3QUSv.gif

Just kidding. I'd like to see what she paid for this compared to her previous work just out of being curious. I believe her when she says she was a big fan. No where near our level but for the average person, a good fan.

[TigerClaw]

It's interesting that she said, She was pregnant 2 weeks into filming, Which explains some of those Reshoots that happened weeks ago. It's not safe for an actor whose pregnant while filming, and having to do all that running and such. But I'm sure they used a stunt double for most of the scenes that are more physical.

[plastroncafe]

Um...says who? Who says it's not safe for a pregnant woman two months a long to run?

Y'know, googling before posting doesn't harm you, okay.

Unless the person have complications it is generally no harm jogging or running throughout the entire pregnancy. Women are not some fragile porcelain figurines while being pregnant.

In the interview she said she was feeling nausea and close to vomiting and such while in the dressing room.

[Candy Kappa]

Oh gee, no pregnant woman have ever felt nausea and have never vomited before.

And, running while pregnant might be more straining for someone who isn't a regular runner.

[BubblyShell22]

If she was cleared by her doctor to do it, then that's why she did it. If there was any chance harm would come to the baby, then her doctor wouldn't have cleared her to do it at all.
