3. Ninja Turtles
It's been 6 years since we last saw a TMNT film - in the bizarre yet decent animated take - and 20 years since the heroes in half-shells appeared in live action form. Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes company (yes, the guys responsible for most of those crappy horror remakes you've sat through over the years) snapped up the rights to the franchise and revealed last year that the film would simply be titled Ninja Turtles, and the four turtles would be...aliens. Oh, and it gets worse; Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans) is directing. Filming apparently starts in April despite the cast still not being announced, and though Michael Bay has been trying to temper fan consternation, it looks like this is going to be a duff attempt to make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles contemporary and "relevant". If they can't even get the title right - reportedly in an effort to "keep it simple" - what hope does the rest of the film have?
