Speaking to Shoot To The Edit (the official Michael Bay forums), the man who is producing the upcoming reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, Ninja Turtles, and whose name is deadly to the ears of many fanboys across the globe, Michael Bay has finally given the reason as to why the name change for the movie has occured, and additionally addressing the backlash from fans. Read it below:
“Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple. The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE’S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.”
Don’t worry Mr. Bay, we believe you *loads shotgun*.
