Megan Fox Re-Teams with Michael Bay for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," She's April O'Neil



Michael Bay was very angry at Megan Fox after she compared him to Hitler and refused to get tanned for "Transformers 3." Eventually, she was dropped from the movie and her career has since been on a decline.

But now comes word that Bay has cast Fox as the female lead in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," a live-action/CG reboot that Bay is producing for Paramount Pictures. Fox will play April O'Neil, the human friend of the Turtles. Bay confirmed the news on his official site, stating: "TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!"

THR says that Bay and Fox reconciled over several recent meetings, where director Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) showed them storyboards for the movie, which is currently in the casting stage and in the process of testing actors. Filming is rumored to begin in April.

As long as the turtles are not aliens I'm good.

[GM Franchise]

I hope they have the Turtles fight Krang in this one.

[Jon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Michael Bay is going to screw this all up.

[GM Franchise]

It can't be any worse than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Turtles in Time.

I was a kid when that came out and loved it, so I'll say this one will sux hardcore

[Crazy Kyd]

The Original movies are pretty sweet. I personally like the 2nd one the best.

As much as I like Megan Fox, I don't see her as April O'Neil.

Also, as much as I know the movie won't be fantastic, it'll be nice to see what I believe would be a better reboot.

Michael Bay recently confirmed that Megan Fox has been cast as April O'Neil in the upcoming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot. Now, "TMNT" co-creator Peter Laird, the one not involved with the film, shared his thoughts about the casting decision.

"My only exposure to Megan Fox as an actress is through her role in two 'Transformers' movies and the wretched (but happily forgettable) 'Jennifer's Body,'" he said. "It may not be fair to judge her range of acting skills just from those three movies, but I think it is safe to say that there are probably hundreds of better choices for the role of April O'Neil. Of course, her name has promotional value, and maybe that's what they want."

The new movie is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) and is set to hit theaters on June 6th, 2014.

Interesting choices.

[GM Franchise]

I like Megan Fox as April O'Neil. I'll go see this movie just for that alone.

[Crazy Kyd]

I'm surprised there is not at least one other big name in the movie. If there will be, I'm surprised it hasn't been announced yet.

[Jonny Worldbeater]

'Colonel Shrader'. Look it up. Weep for your childhood.

[Tezmission Black]

I like Megan Fox as April O'Neil. I'll go see this movie just for that alone.

BUT can you see Megan Fox as a 18 year old April O'Neil, because from what I have read both April and Cassie are supposed to be 18 in the film.
