Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 Movie News: Will Arnett Says New TMNT Movie Will Keep the Fans Happy In Spite of Resistance

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 Movie News: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman says the new TMNT movie will make fans "very happy." Will Arnett says the new TMNT film is a family affair. Fans of the franchise say they'll wait and see.

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie upset some fans with the new "realistic" look of the Ninja Turtles. Epic Rival, which produced the film wanted a more human approach. Fans were downright hostile for this year's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Director Jonathan Liebesman and says fans should worry that the new TMNT will be produced by Michael Bay.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman told Comic Book Resources. "I know everybody is like, 'Oh, Michael Bay, Michael Bay, Michael Bay, he's gonna ruin it! He's gonna destroy it!' But everyone I have encountered has been nothing more than incredibly sincere to try and bring the Turtles back in a way that's new, fresh and exciting, but with total respect to everything that's come before. I've read the script. I have a cameo in the move. It's awesome - really fun."

Will Arnett plays TV cameraman Vernon Fenwick, who helps Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello and reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) fight the evil Shredder (William Fichtner) in the new TMNT movie.

Will Arnett told the Los Angeles Daily News "The Turtles were kind of dormant in the popular culture for a while, but then a few years ago, when Nickelodeon unveiled the animated series, my two young sons started watching and became increasingly pro-Turtle by the day. By the time the movie came around for me, I was kind of immersed in it."

Nickelodeon's Crime-Fighting Turtles return in new episodes starting this Sunday, April 27 at 11:00 a.m. in the episode, "Mazes & Mutants."
