Megan Fox Redhead [PHOTOS]: Actress Dyes Hair For 'Ninja Turtles' Role April O'Neil

After Michael Bay announced the casting of Megan Fox as April O'Neil in the upcoming Ninja Turtles movie people were a bit hesitant about the Transformers star taking on the role. But it looks like she is committed to the character since the 26-year-old actress recently dyed her usually brunette hair, becoming a redhead like the iconic cartoon and comic character. Earlier this week Will Arnett was cast in the movie alongside Fox. The Turtles themselves were cast as well with Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher, and Alan Ritchson taking on the roles.

Mstarz recently reported on the casting of Megan Fox in the Michael Bay film. Here is an excerpt:

It looks like Megan Fox and Michael Bay have put their past problems behind them since the movie maker took to his website to announce the actress' new role: April O'Neil in the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot. The two previously worked on the Transformersmovies but Fox was not brought on for the third installment with Bay citing "personal differences." Perhaps it was because Megan Fox compared the producer/director to Adolf Hitler, saying Bay "wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So, he's a nightmare to work for." All of that aside, Bay's announcement this week seemed sincere and excited as he wrote, "TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!"

According to reports, the 26-year-old Fox accepted the role based off of storyboards by director Jonathan Liebesman who most recently directed the Bay-produced Wrath of the Titans. The studio also met with other actresses including Anna Kendrick, Jane Levy, and Elizabeth Olson but decided to go with Fox who just recently became a new mother. In the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, April O'Neil was a computer programmer but is better known as a news reporter thanks to the television incarnation of the Turtles.
