This message was delivered earlier this week on (8/1/14) during a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles press conference that held in Los Angeles. The panel which also included co-star Will Arnett, director Jonathan Liebesman, and a number of the film’s writers and producers were asked how they felt about some of the backlash against their movie online. Fox was quick to respond, and began by referencing the Michael Bay franchise that started her career:
It’s a strange thing actually and no matter the second time in the last year alone that someone from a big blockbuster franchise has told portions of their fans to “fuck off.” I guess the big difference is that Megan Fox’s words are more preemptive. If you buy a ticket and hate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Megan Fox’s “fuck off” will be waiting for you as you exit the theater. It’s worth noting that Megan Fox’s casting in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles earned plenty of ire from fans back in February of last year, which could very well explain her passion in this manner.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arrives in theaters next weekend, specifically on August 8th, and in addition to Megan Fox and Will Arnett the movie features William Fichtner, Whoopi Goldberg, K. Todd Freeman, Danny Woodburn, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, Alan Ritchson, and Minae Noji. So don’t forget to miss it.
