Yup, you heard that right, the creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has seen what Michael Bay is working on behind-the-scenes and is very enthusiastic about it.

Kevin Eastman - "Hey Guys, Sorry to have been away for so long--completely swamped with work--but it is some pretty exciting stuff. I had been invited to check out the TMNT film development by my friend Scott Mednick over the years, and a while back had a full look behind the curtian at what writers Appelbaum and Nemec, director Liebesman, and producer Bay are doing--and trust me--it IS AWESOME. I'm officially on board, and will share more as I'm allowed... thanks all!"

What more can we say? Michael Bay has decided to make the turtles an alien race in the new live-action film and the fans reacted extremely negative. But, will the fans still be so negative when the creator of, Kevin Eastman, tells you what Michael Bay is doing with the property is "AWESOME"?
