Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie (Reboot Announced)

[jaypesoz]

Lionsgate and Saban Brands are partnering to develop and produce an original live action feature film based on the iconic "Power Rangers" property, it was announced today by creator of "Power Rangers" Haim Saban and Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer.

Saban launched "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" as a live-action TV series more than 20 years ago, and the series has been in continuous production ever since. It has subsequently grown into one of the world’s most popular and recognizable brands, with toys, apparel, costumes, video games, DVD's, comic books and other merchandise.

The two companies noted that, with an extensive and extremely devoted worldwide fan base as well as a deep and detailed mythology, the "Power Rangers" are primed for the big screen. The new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.

"Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level," said Saban. "They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from 'The Hunger Games' to 'Twilight' and 'Divergent.' In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we're confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own."

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Haim Saban and his team to maximize the potential of this immensely successful and universally recognized franchise," said Feltheimer. "The Power Rangers stories and characters have been embraced by generations of audiences for more than 20 years, and today they are more powerful than ever. We have the ideal partner and the perfect brand with which to create a motion picture event that will resonate with moviegoers around the world for years to come."

Saban's "Power Rangers" franchise is the brainchild of Haim Saban, creator and producer of the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" hit series that launched in 1993. Following its introduction, "Power Rangers" quickly became the most-watched children's television program in the United States and remains one of the top-rated and longest running boys live-action series in television history. The series follows the adventures of a group of ordinary teens who "morph" into superheroes and save the world from evil. It is seen in more than 150 markets around the world, translated into numerous languages and is a mainstay in the most prominent international children's programming blocks.

Gotta be at least a three hour movie if they want to do it right. Anticipating this.


The casting needs to be "the way it was". I need a black Black Ranger, and an Asian Yellow Ranger.

I'd want the rangers from the first season up until turbo to be in there. Whether they're spread out through the movie as extras or whatever, it'd be cool to just see them involved.

Honestly, as big of a green ranger fan as I am, I'd like them to plant the seeds of him in the first movie and then be the main villain in the sequel ala Bucky/Winter Soldier.

 

[niquefreak94]

I'm ready!

 

[Good Ol J.R]

But I heard that a lot of OG Rangers don't like to deal with Saban

You just can't recreate the time, popularity, ect. Leave it be. It's like making a spice girl movie remake today.

Other than his golden boy Tommy, the og cast don't really matter to him and can be easily replaced

Adam was my boy though and I know he's on good terms so hopefully, he makes some sort of cameo or something.

 

[King of Trash Style]

As long as I get the OG megazord damn the power rangers themselves

Hopefully they stay pretty original, I never watched anything else passed mighty morphin, none of that turbo and galaxy stuff they later did :x

Hopefully these megazords can be more flexible now
