Michael Bay Says "We're Not" Making The Turtles Aliens & That Its "The Ooze" - Page 3

This makes me happy.

Tazi · 04-27-2013, 09:59 AM

yeah, cuz making the Shredder samoan makes more sense than making him caucasian...

He was pretty much the bad guy in Fast 5. Big and intimidating, could easy be a more bulky Shredder to go along with the apparently taller turtles.

He's half samoan! Close....enough to japanese! I guess! Not like it really matters that much. I'm the guy that wanted the black guy from Scrubs to play Michelangelo.

*CyberCubed* · 04-27-2013, 10:26 AM

I can't believe people would want Shredder to be anything but Japanese. How can he have a history with Hamato Yoshi and still be named Oroku Saki if he's not Japanese?

Black Shredder, white Shredder, West Indian Shredder, all terrible ideas.

We need a well built Japanese man in his mid 30's to play Shredder.

Lol I find it hard to call him the bad guy in Fast Five, considering he was working for the law. But yeah, he was the antagonist to the main characters, even if they are criminals.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 04-27-2013, 10:41 AM

I find this reassuring. I look forward to when we get to see a preview

ctt4lfecw · 04-27-2013, 10:46 AM

It's not going to matter, casual fans/facebook fans will still think that Bay is "raping their childhood."

I know! But thats the crazy world the Fast universe has made. Rock's character there could easily play for a big scary bad guy. Who cares about the Japan thing? Michael Clarke Duncan was an awesome Kingpin for example. Maybe I'm just done with obviously dubbed over japanese actors as Shredder.

You do know that non-japanese people are allowed to live and be born in Japan, right?

Quite frankly there is no reason to whine and complain until we see a trailer. Until then we have nothing but speculation.

When the hell did Michael Clarke Duncan play Shredder?

Haha. Typo. Meant Kingpin.

Even though there's kind of a rich history of Black Shredders as it is.

Leofan26 · 04-27-2013, 11:38 AM

I know some fans who will be happy about this news

It makes me wonder how Duncan would've done as a voice of Shredder. He, himself was and sounded intimidating.

you're assuming hamato yoshi is gonna be in this movie. the leaked script said nothing about the character. i know that script has supposedly been re-written, but i can't imagine that any revisions will be any better regarding the story-telling or dramatic aspects. plus, who says saki (who also wasn't in the leaked script), will have anything to do with splinter's character in this version of the franchise.

schrader sounds like a caucasian name to me, so i'm betting freakin will arnett is gonna play him...

and these are actually some of the reasons i'm iffy on the flick. it's not that i won't be satisfied until "someone reads the script" to me. it's that i'd like a decent movie--who wouldn't? it's not that im like cybercubed and retardedly beholden to what's come before, it's that I just want a movie that ISN'T DUMB. if executed correctly, any concept can be good, it's just that every detail thats come about regarding the actual plot, has sounded ridiculous.

the turtles are aliens--kneejerk reaction was "thats gonna suck". then i figured "well i'll wait til more details come out". then the details came out and it became..."yeah, this is stupid".

so while, i do have criticisms of the script we've seen and the details coming out, i still hope it might be decent, but at the same time, i'm not gonna cry and b!tch that a TOTALLY NEW version of the story, isn't EXACTLY THE SAME as everything that came before.

I don't want a boring re-hash, i just want a GOOD reboot.

*zkarlette* · 04-27-2013, 02:13 PM

There is a chance that Will Arnett will probably end up playing the "funny" head cop that is in the middle of whatever is going on.

is that something you just made up?

i doubt "funny head cop that is in the middle of whatever is going on", is a role significant enough to warrant "top secret role" status.

*chrisdude* · 04-27-2013, 02:45 PM

When The Hollywood Reporter revealed Arnett, they said it was a "lead" role. If that's true, it almost has to be Schrader.

Maybe he is Krang? Krang is comedic and so is he.

*Xav* · 04-27-2013, 03:31 PM

Why does it have to be a comedic role? Just because he's been in comedies doesn't mean he can't play a serious role.

We also don't want a white Caucasian playing a Japanese man.
