This movie keeps sounding worse and worse.

*Jephael* · 02-06-2013, 06:57 PM

Chill out, CyberCubed. Nothing's set in stone yet. It's all just speculation at this point.

*ToTheNines* · 02-06-2013, 06:59 PM

She's not a bad actress. I wouldn't freak out if this happened.

I almost shat when I saw Bryan Cranston though... But he's being eyed for Godzilla. He'd never touch TMNT

**Jester** · 02-06-2013, 06:59 PM

How does one casting (and not a terrible one really. She's a much better actress than her sisters.) make a movie we really know little about worse?

You know it's TMNT news when Cybercubed gripes about it....

*Jephael* · 02-06-2013, 07:00 PM

I just discovered Miss Olsen is Mary-Kate and Ashley's younger sister. I sure hope success doesn't do to her what it did to them!

There's actually an Olsen sister that's not hideous and actually looks like an adult and not a coked up teenager? She's actually kinda cute and might be a good April if she can act as well as need be.

*shuriken* · 02-06-2013, 07:13 PM

Haven't seen her act before. So this sounds promising? Good? Bad? someone help me out here.

*pannoni1* · 02-06-2013, 07:14 PM

I don't think Elizabeth Olsen was a bad choice given that the movie Martha Marcy May Marlene is generally well liked, does some good acting, and with some red hair dye/wig and her face can make a good April. The Olsen name will also generate some buzz to bring in more tickets.

**Jester** · 02-06-2013, 07:17 PM

Yes, Lord knows everyone still fills seats at the name "Olsen."

I wonder if there's a Jimmy in that family tree. That'd be pretty funny!

*ToTheNines* · 02-06-2013, 07:20 PM

Lol, Jester the ball breaker!

*Jephael* · 02-06-2013, 07:26 PM

Now that I think about it, there really weren't any celebrities in the original live action movies.

I like the idea of him playing Baxter Stockman. It fits his character range perfectly for what Baxter needs to be.

As for Lizzie Olsen, I know she has done a couple of cult films in the last couple of years and don't really know her as an actor so I am open for the twins little sister being April. I just remember her as a four year old in an Olsen twins music video. Who would have thought that then 4 year old would be April O'Neil(maybe) one day?

Elizabeth Olsen is a good actress. I saw her in a movie called Silent House, which had a cool concept, but turned out to be very so so. But she carried that film, and her performance really made it worth watching. Plus. she's also very attractive.

Bob · 02-06-2013, 07:56 PM

She's just in contention. There are probably quite a few others. I don't think she's getting the role, anyway, as she's been cast in Godzilla. That starts filming in March, and Ninja Turtles starts filming in April. She can't be in two places at once.

Why do the Olsen twins look like tired 18-19 year olds anyway? Its like they've never aged and then aged terribly at the same time.

Like Lindsay Lohan bad.

Elizabeth Olsen. ...Are you sure???

I was thinking of a more mature and sexy actress, experienced, and perhaps Estella Warren to give an example

I do not want a remake of the TV series from Nickelodeon TMNT, I want the TMNT where April is a mature woman, almost like a mother and sister

and platonic love Donatello
