Megan Fox reunites with Michael Bay for Ninja Turtles
Take a look at the filmmaker's brief blog post below.
It's interesting to note that the filmmaker said "TMNT," since he confirmed in March that they officially dropped "Teenage Mutant" from the title. Could it be that Ninja Turtles has been scrapped, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming back?
It isn't known quite yet what role Megan Fox will play, but it seems likely that she will portray April O'Neil, the reporter who befriends the pizza-loving crime-fighters Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonoardo. This casting move is rather surprising since the actress parted ways from Michael Bay's Transformers franchise, being replaced with model-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on Transformers: Dark of the Moon after comparing the director to Adolf Hitler. There was said to be bad blood between the director and actress, though, if that was the case, all seems to be forgiven now.
Jonathan Liebesman is directing from a screenplay by André Nemec and Josh Appelbaum.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes to theaters June 6th, 2014 and stars Megan Fox, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher, Will Arnett, Danny Woodburn, William Fichtner. The film is directed by Jonathan Liebesman.

Hell has froze over. It's the end of days. Never thought they would bury the hatchet. Seriously! They could've buried it before making T3 and avoid casting that lame-ass model?!

@zender If I recall I think the whole thing with Spielberg was that he felt she was unprofessional.

You know why this was ultimately a good move? Look at all the comments it spawned. Some smug, some hateful, some approving, but nonetheless, lots of interest.

Mutant
Honestly I do enjoy his films but calling him Hitler seems just right. Just don't say it to his face and I doubt Steven told him to fire her over name calling.
There are reasons why certain actors don't return to do his films, those that keep coming back must be brain dead.
My best guess is he just likes to think about himself and no one else. And stop talking about John, he's a lot more talented than Bay any day.

@mka47 lol
I actually liked Bad Boys 2, The Island, Transformers and Dark of the Moon
but Pearl Harbor and Revenge of the Fallen deserve to be in the same landfill those 'E.T. The Game' copies are.

@justatadmatt Honsetly... it is surprisingly good. Despite the animation style (which was only a first-time issue) and what network it's airing on, the show has proven to be hilarious. Especially Mikey.

Megan is so hot that when you throw holy water at her, she melts.
throw holy water at Bay, he turns to ash.
Throw holy water at John and he is still there.

Eh. It might be okay. She's really not as bad as people say. I'm cautiously optimistic.

@corey tbh can megan fox actually act good, every film I have seen her in she seems to be nothing more than average. Like you said eye candy for us lads. Its a shame but makes sense with drawing in more audiences for the film I guess.

Corey W.
@ejk1 I mean, Fox might hate Michael Bay still. He isn't directing either so Fox might get some respect on set from Liebsman. That is why Fox hates Bay right....cause he pretty much wants her to be the cliche hot girl that she is and not actually act?

@corey I can see it now. There will be a scene where she has to run away from the Foot Clan. It will be in slow-mo. It will be a twenty minute scene.
