Michael Bay to produce "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot

I didn't plan on blogging about this reboot because in all honesty it angered me to my core, what on earth are they rebooting something so incredible for? The worst thing about the reboot is than none other than Michael Bay, the big budget man which more than likely means the film will cost about $150-200 million an will be a movie flop like "Transformers 2" & "Transformers 3". I'm not going to completely write this movie off until I see some footage or stills of the film, I personally haven't seen "TMNT" from 2007 but know that it was 100% CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) which is the road I will guess Bay will take when making his version. Since it made its way online that Bay was to produce the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot, the has been mostly negative remarks about the film. These negative remarks were at an all time high when Bay was set to be making the Turtles into aliens, yes you read that correct aliens.  
"Bay announced over the weekend at the Nickelodeon Upfront in New York that origin story for everyone’s favourite heroes in a half shell is going to be modified somewhat. And by “modified somewhat,” I mean changed entirely because it popped into Bay’s head one day and so why not? Trucks from space punching each other somehow made sense to film viewers, so why not turtles that know martial arts? Bay stated that “when you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."
The negative remarks must have hit Bay hard when he heard them, not long after his alien announcement he was making another press statement;
"Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world. 

Michael"
