Ninja Turtles movie production HALTED
— Posted by Anthony
Remember that reboot of Ninja Turtles that was in production and handled by Michael Bay’s ‘Platinum Dunes’ production company? I say “was” because it appears that production on the film has come to a grinding halt and the film has been delayed well into 2014! Why would they do such a thing? It appears that the powers that be aren’t completely satisfied with development on the film specifying the script as one of the main causes for concern.
This may seem like an unsettling development for any fans who were looking forward to this film but let me tell you that this is a good thing. If the studios feel that the film isn’t shaping up well and needs more time to polish things to make a better film then by all means they should. It’s no secret that longtime fans of the characters aren’t very pleased with the information that has been released thus far and the stakes are quite high for Paramount to try to develop the franchise into a tentpole. I’d rather they identify problems early on and work to make things better now rather than release a subpar film.
Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes is producing and Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) is set to direct from a script by Kevin Eastman and Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec. I’ll keep you posted on any other developments, that’s all for now…

Fans were looking forward to this movie? I was under the impression that fans stopped looking forward to this around the time Bay started talking about aliens
