Perhaps the casting department saw something that we haven't had the luxury of seeing. In any event, I hope he can, in essence, "become" Leonardo meaning learning as much as he can about who Leo is supposed to be and incorporating that into his role as Leo.

Leo is serious, disciplined, strict, and always has a "by the book" attitude. Knoxville needs to recognize that to effectively play his character. To quote Leo here, "Anything less just won't get the job done." very true, again i guess we can all just hope for the best. That's what I'm hoping. I'm trying to be optimistic for the simple fact that it is a Turtles movie after all. yea, i actually do like the casting of megan fox as april. its like her first major since the 2 transformers movies she did, alot of people go on hating about she cant be april but i find myself intrigued by he being cast and definatley want to see what she does. There does seem to be a lot of hatred toward her. She is a fairly new actress and although she was in the Transformers movies, her role was basically "eye candy" as others have said. In the new TMNT movie, she will have the opportunity to show us her acting ability by playing April O'Neil. It's unfortunate that so many have written her off as an actress due to her role in the Transformers movies.

yea its pretty much unfair especially since she hasnt really been given a shot to show off her acting skills, but the new TMNT will be the movie where she gets to show what she can do.
