I have conflicting feelings about this, but right now I'd rather hear an official confirmation or denial.

As much as I love how the recent TMNT movie is coming along, let me guess: Billy will have goggles attached to his helmet and Jason will have an extra black belt above the belt that carries his morpher.

... That actually doesn't sound terrible. The goggles could be worked into the Triceratops theme of Billy's suit and assuming Jason gets the Dragonzord powers...

I'm generally not a fan of Bay, his action is so over-the-top that I leave the theater with a headache, and his story, characters and dialogue are often cheesy and predictable. Now, that being said, those very things are why his style would admittedly fit Power Rangers. I wouldn't particularly mind if he directed it.

Oh heck no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This. Power Rangers = big explosions. Bay = big explosions. A Michael Bay-directed PR movie = explosions^2. I actually thought it would be cool if he directed it even before I heard about this.

You really got to stop believing everything that's posted on the Internet.

The rumor originated from the "Power Rangers MegaForce" Facebook page (a fan-created one with only 3K likes), and they stated at 12am they would have a big announcement from Power Force (which they are not a part of). Then, at 12am CST, they posted a claimed E-mail from the Power Force from the head of Lionsgate.

The first sign it was fake? The E-mail states, "a grittier, darker Power Rangers", when Saban Brands has said, even at the Licensing Expo two weeks ago, that they want to keep it cheerful and fun, to appeal to both the young and the old audiences.

In this day and age, if this crap isn't coming from something official you can't assume it's correct.

Michael Bay has not been chosen to direct Power Rangers at this time. Until Lionsgate, or a major movie news outlet releases the information, it's all made-up.

Guess that settles it. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

False false false false false.

Big giant not happening rumor that got started from a fake Power Force e-mail.

Kickback knows what's up.
