If you have not heard, Michael Bay's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies has him envisioning the most famed turtles as aliens and not many people are happy about this, especially Michelangelo voice actor Robbie Rist.
TMZ has reported that Rist wrote a letter to Bay explaining his disappointment, which states, "You probably don't know me but I did some voice work on the first set of movies that you are starting to talk about sodomizing. I know believing in mutated talking turtles is kinda silly to begin with but am I supposed to be led to believe there are ninjas from another planet? The rape of our childhood memories continues."
In response to everyone who is not satisfied with the Ninja Turtles being aliens, Bay tells everyone to chill be saying. "Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world."
Also on TMZ, Brian Tochi and Judith Hoag, who played Leonardo and April O'Neil in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie, are on board with Bay's vision.
"If Michael Bay wants to do a different take on the turtles origin story ... Mazel Tov!," says Tochi.
