Please god no.

Honestly, the best I can hope for this movie at this point is that it's amazingly insane enough to distract from any disappointment, so you know what?

I hope he is. I hope he is the Will Arnettiest Shredder ever.

I still think Will Arnett is playing Colonel Schrader.

This Colonel Schrader crap seems to have a good bit of staying power around here.

Anyway, I'm glad something was said about the aliens angle. So that sounds like a plus.

*CyberCubed* · 04-26-2013, 07:29 PM

Well then why isn't there some Japanese male actor cast yet? Doesn't anyone find that suspicious?

Cast The Rock as Shredder. That would be amazing. No joke.

No wait the Rock as Hun.

No. It's just you.

My three responses to this:

1. He is lying
2. The Turtles are still Aliens, except somehow the ooze will be involved
3. The Turtles are just mutated by ooze, no aliens involved
4. Some other answer that most likely some fans won’t be pleased with
5. It has something to do with an explosion

I’m personally hoping for 3, but you never know.

Also, did anyone else feel like he was avoiding the question?

*Powder* · 04-26-2013, 08:32 PM

I can only shrug. S'whatever. Just give me a movie at the scheduled release date, I'll watch it.

*chrisdude* · 04-26-2013, 10:19 PM

I am very pleased to hear this. "It's the ooze."

This is the first time ANYONE has plainly said that the turtles aren't aliens. You can enjoy your 'I told you so's, if you want. Just note that an entire year has passed since Bay said "alien." For an entire year, Bay and Eastman have told us not to worry, told us that the turtles were in good hands, and for an entire year, never said that the turtles weren't aliens.

Bay denied that his people wrote that script, and that was a lie. He told us the script was from before he signed on, and that was a lie. And the script leaked AFTER he said "alien," so he meant what he said at the time. So excuse us if we needed to hear him say in plain English, that the turtles were not aliens. We're not "naysayers," we're just willing to acknowledge that Michael Bay IS A LIAR, and that happens to affect our faith in him. Excuse us for that.

At least if he's lying now, he may have to answer for it, because he spoke specifically, for the first time.

I am still not sold until:

a) We find out what Shredder is going to look like. Being played by a white man and being a "Colonel" makes me sick to my stomach. The Foot also being soldiers in uniforms instead of ninja's is equally disturbing.

b) See the Turtles designs. I just hope to god that new TMNT game from Activision wasn't using the designs of the upcoming movie because I can't stand those freaks of natures with nostrils.

a) Colonel=Leader more or less. So yeah.

b) Those designs are awesome, and look like mutants, which are freaks of nature.

A. No kidding.

B. He obviously disagrees.

Man...I have to say, I agree...

Activision turtle designs, are wierd... for the first five minutes you see them, then they're okay.
It's really just the noseholes that makes them that different, nothing else.

That and the plaque soriasis.

*Zachatello00* · 04-27-2013, 08:26 AM

Okay, they're not aliens. Phew, for a second there, we almost over-reacted as a fan community.

That would be hilarious, but right now, he's kind of recovering from surgery, so he wouldn't be able to do anything at the moment depending on when filming starts. It would be great though. I can just picture it:

"The Shredder is gonna whoop your rudy poo candy a**!"

Okay, so maybe he wouldn't say that, but I do think he'd make a good villain. Incidentally, has The Rock ever played a bad guy in any of his movies? I don't think so, but I want to make sure. If not, he definitely should do something like this.

He was the bad guy in Get Smart.

Yeah, he has in The Mummy Returns, Doom, and Get Smart. But The Rock as Shredder is just a major no.

[sarscasm] Well its good that someone connected to the movie set the record straight on this little miscommunication early to prevent any ill feeling. [/sarcasm]
