So apparently a now defunct version of the script was leaked online which described:
Peter Laird has also commented on this script saying it's real:The turtles are from an alien planet in Dimension X that consists of turtle warriors
Splinter is an alien as well
Schredder is now "Colonel Schrader", a government agent who is secretly an alien who can grow blades from his body
"The Foot Clan" is now just "The Foot", a secret government agency led by Col. Schrader.
Casey is in the movie, he's a security guard/amateur hockey player that finds the Turtles. He's the focus of the movie like Sam was the focus of the Transformers movie.
April is having relationship troubles because she's moving to New York due to an internship at CBS, but Casey doesn't want to go.
Rapheal is now the comic relief instead of Mikey.
Mikey falls in love with a turtle woman from his home planet.
Someone else alerted me to the existence of this script, and I just a few minutes ago finished reading it. If it is, in fact, the actual draft that was rejected and caused the production of the next TMNT movie to be pushed back to 2014 because the script was unsatisfactory, then I think all true TMNT fans should be grateful to the new "powers that be" that they did not allow this wretched thing to go any further. It could definitely be taken as a good sign if that is the case.
It reminds me of one of the reasons I am glad to not own the property anymore... because I don't have to tear what little hair I have left out while trying to fix junk like this. -- PL
