Bay to direct TMNT remake

Michael Bay is helming a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' remake.

The 'Transformers' director and his Platinum Dunes production company are preparing to begin work on a revamped version of the film - which follows Raphael, Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Donatello, four martial arts-fighting, pizza eating, sewer dwelling amphibians - in what is expected to be an origins story.
