The Kidd here...
I'm sure you're just dying to know whose genius idea it was to shorten the coming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot to NINJA TURTLES. For that, I'll let Michael Bay have the floor (or at least words from his blog speak for him)...
Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple. The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE'S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.
I appreciate Paramount slimming it down for all of us. Those two extra words in the title were far too much for us to try to comprehend. Then again, they did get people to go out in droves to see THE DEVIL INSIDE, so they must know something we don't.
