TMNT co-creator speaks on Michael Bay statements

The war between the internet and Michael Bay wages on. Fans have outraged since learning that Bay would be altering the Turtles back story to make them into aliens. TMNT co-creator Peter Laird had weighed in on the issue encouraging people to wait until they saw the final product even though he would not be involved with the film. It had been revealed that one of the creators would be involved with this project. That means that the one involved with the production would be Kevin Eastman. Eastman has confirmed his involvement with the film. He has also released his own statement on the matter.

I had been invited to check out the TMNT film development by my friend Scott Mednick over the years, and a while back had a full look behind the curtain at what writers Appelbaum and Nemec, director Liebesman, and producer Bay are doing–and trust me–it IS AWESOME. I’m officially on board, and will share more as I’m allowed… thanks all!

While the creators of the franchise may be on board with this, it does not change the community’s opinion of the project. Many are still outraged at the idea and seeing the creators okay with all of these changes may just anger fans more.
