It seems Paramount might be doing the ole backward shuffle with the Michael Bay helmed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. They dropped the news that they have stopped pre-production on the film and are calling for an indefinite work stoppage on the flick. The studio pushed back the release date to sometime in 2014 giving some on the project hope for a 10 week only hold up.

Bay has been driving fans crazy with his “vision” for the movie: first he decided to go with the title Ninja Turtles, dropping the all important Teenage Mutant part and declaring the heroes in a half shell would be aliens instead of normal earth-born reptiles mutated by a mysterious glowing ooze. So he wants to rip apart the origin in favor of a rehashed and overused alien plot! Bay has gotten plenty shades of upset with fans, at one point telling them to “chill“, way to forget who pays for you to keep blowing crap up!

Maybe the “sodomizing” of the TMNT legacy won’t happen after all. Hopefully Paramount has decided Bay isn’t the proper fit for another big budget crashing of our childhood. I enjoyed the Transformers trilogy and all but enough is enough! Where’s my TMNT loving geeks at? Does this news warm your hearts? Are you preparing a pizza feast in celebration?
