Perhaps she should have thrown on April’s signature yellow jumpsuit, because it’s unlikely that her hair color change will put an end to all the fanboy hate. She already helped to ruin one famous franchise that makes kids of the ‘80s and ‘90s feel all nostalgic by starring in a few of the “Transformers” movies, and she brought extra drama to that series of films by comparing director Michael Bay to Hitler and getting herself fired. But now all is forgiven, and Bay has invited her to help him turn the heroes in a half shell into caricatures of their old selves. But to be fair, Bay is just producing “Ninja Turtles,” so he’d probably appreciate it if all the hate could be directed at director Jonathan Liebesman instead.
Megan Fox just seems way too cold and sexy to play April -- someone warmer and spunkier would have worked much better, like “Suburgatory” star Jane Levy. The cute redhead recently won over a few fanboys by starring in another popular franchise -- she got to get buried alive in the “Evil Dead” remake. All Megan really has going for her is her sex appeal, so with her new red hair, movie audiences can look forward to seeing Jessica Rabbit meet the Ninja Turtles. Then again, Megan doesn’t have as much personality as that cartoon character.
Speaking of cartoon characters, Bay’s versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren’t going to be mutants like the cartoon and comic book turtles, so he’s definitely working hard at ruining childhood memories with this one. Instead the turtles are going to turtle-like aliens.
So are you looking forward to seeing Megan as a redhead fembot who flashes her cleavage to extraterrestrials in a half shell?
