I HEART CHAOS

While Michael Bay’s TMNT project is on hold right now, every little bit of news that ended up on the internet just seemed like bad news. And then, this past weekend, a copy of one of the lastest Ninja Turtles scripts hit the web and it’s bad. Oh so bad.

The full script has been pulled due to copyright infringement, and if you have a copy, please don’t send it here, because I won’t post it. Instead, here are a few screenshot snippets of some of the worst dialogue. 

Even Peter Laird, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, commented on the script:

Someone else alerted me to the existence of this script, and I just a few minutes ago finished reading it. If it is, in fact, the actual draft that was rejected and caused the production of the next TMNT movie to be pushed back to 2014 because the script was unsatisfactory, then I think all true TMNT fans should be grateful to the new “powers that be” that they did not allow this wretched thing to go any further. It could definitely be taken as a good sign if that is the case.

It reminds me of one of the reasons I am glad to not own the property anymore… because I don’t have to tear what little hair I have left out while trying to fix junk like this. — PL
