The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

This thread is in response to the confirmation that Megan Fox will be playing April O Neil in the upcoming TMNT movie due to the fact that I thought this rumor was a bad joke when I heard it here on Outhouse before. When I actually realized it wasn't a joke I just buried my head in disbelief. Michael Bay, I get the fact that your stchickt is to put hot looking women in your movies to ogle at that and all but really? I mean first off, I got the impression that she and Bay fell out after comparing him to Hitler out loud. Did she sleep with him in order to get back on his good side and secure this role? Plus, the more important thing is aren't there way better choices of actresses he could have used like Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain or even Amy Adams instead a girl who looks hot but can't really act? As much as I don't like this casting choice, the sad part this movie will probably sell due to horny adolescents wanting to look Megan Fox's ass and not much else.

To a lot of people, April O Neill was a sex symbol in their formative years. He's just riffing off of that. its a dumb decision because Fox is not a great actor, but it makes sense in a certain aspect.

That's what I was thinking too. Bay is modelling Fox's April off of the 80's TMNT cartoon where she mostly a useless damsel in distress that was only there to look good rather than the badass Mirage April who could kick ass and was actually useful.

It's a Michael Bay movie, he has to go with someone like Megan Fox because chances are actresses like Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain, and Amy Adams wouldn't agree to be in one of his movies. :smt102

Wait. You're expecting good acting in a Michael Bay film? That's your first problem.

Yeah. I theorize that he probably called these other actresses and they hung up the phone on him and stated they had better things to do than be in one of his films-like watching paint dry.

Acting? Nope. Better casting? Probably. Besides I thought Michael Bay and Megan Fox hated each other when they were doing the Transformers movies. I would love to know how and why they reconciled.

I can only hope the rumors of Randy Orton as Casey Jones are true! :smt026

Hopefully that will take away from Megan Fox' role in the film. Apart from how hot she looks don't care much for anything else that she would bring to TMNT.
