Michael Bay, the man who once made an explosion so big we can still see it (we call it the sun), is at it again!

I remember when I first started hearing about Michael Bay, I was in high school and he had just released a few big blockbusters, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.  I remember going into each film expecting to see a movie about the apocalypse and war.  I walked out thinking, “wait, so how can he get away with calling it that when he just made love stories.  Lame.”

I’ll be honest when he resurfaced back on the film scene as a producer when I was in college, I was quickly growing some respect for him.  I really enjoyed the gritty re-visualizations that he was doing, and I truly enjoyed “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.

However, things have gotten out of hand.  I was a gigantic Transformers fan as a kid, and I groaned when I heard it was him in line to do the movies.  I have only seen the first one…it was bad.  Now, Michael is back and ready to make me weep again.

If you remember a while back I reported on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mask that was rumored to be from the latest film.  It turned out that it was just something a student at the Tom Savini school was working on, and we all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Well get ready to hold your breath again fans, Michael Bay has signed on to produce the live action reboot of TMNT.  Deadline is reporting that Platinum Dunes, Bay’s production company, will be co-producing the new TMNT movie with Paramount and Nickelodeon.

The turtle have always been pretty devoid of explosions, so I’m not sure why Bay is getting in on this, but I can only assume that Beebop and Rocksteady will be suicide bombers, and Splinter and Shredder will have a giant fire battle in the middle of a gasoline rainstorm.

What do you think?
