It starts.

Looking at Marvel's announcements today, I think Lionsgate got wind of the studio mulling a winter release for Black Panther months back and decided "Let's try something similar for our Power Rangers film franchise."

It starts.

Indeed, like when people start making fan art in the early stages like this one. Saw this on Rangercrew, thought it was worth sharing.

^ Hey thats pretty nice. Im happy with the casting of the Pink Ranger. How old is she?

Man I just cant wait to see the costumes. If my memory serves me right From those leaked images it seems they will be mostly white with patches of their color.

She's 22. She was born three months before MMPR premiered.

I don't know if that was legit.

Exclusive: ‘Power Rangers’ Movie Villains, Timeline, and Opening Scene Revealed
by Dave Trumbore 1 hour ago

When it was announced that Lionsgate would be developing a new Power Rangers movie, everyone jumped to the conclusion that it would be a reboot of the original Mighty Morphin Power Ranger TV series. Not so fast! According to new intel, we have learned that director Dean Israelite‘s action picture won’t be focused on mining old property at all, but rather continuing the story told in the long-running television show. In fact, it’s looking like the movie will be wholly set after the events of the current TV iteration, Power Rangers Dino Charge. And since we’re hearing that Dino Charge characters factor into the movie’s opening, perhaps it will serve as a hand-off of the franchise to the new super-suited team.

We’ve also learned that Power Rangers is expected to shoot in Vancouver from January to April of next year, which is the earliest that fans will be able to get a glimpse of what the final film might just look like. Keep in mind that whatever set photos inevitably leak, we’ve learned that Power Rangers will mix location work with quite a bit of green screen, so the fully polished version is going to differ significantly from any amateur long-lens shots.



But enough of the boring stuff! We’ve also learned that the movie will open with a huge battle scene. This has been referenced at various places across the Web before, but we have some new details as to the villains involved and just what they’re fighting over. It seems that in Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz‘s script, Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd will not be the main antagonists. As loyal fans of the series know (and this could be considered a spoiler here), both of those villains were among the evil forces purified by Zordon’s energy wave (or Z-wave) that spread peace throughout the universe. However, not all adversaries were neutralized. There’s even one major villain from the early days of the series who promised she would return, but never did, prompting people to assume that she was destroyed or turned good by the Z-wave.

Yes, I’m talking about Scorpina, of course! Sources tell us the ruthless and dangerous minion of Rita has returned to plague the Rangers once more. And it seems she’s brought an army, which she uses to battle the Power Rangers and their robot Megazords in the epic opening battle scene. From what we’re hearing, the Rangers (presumably the Dino Charge team at this point) are protecting the Morphin Grid, an energy field that provides power to every generation of Rangers. This energy grid not only lets the Rangers borrow its power to morph into their super versions, it gives them access to past, present, and future Ranger memories so that they can glimpse other Rangers and glean strategies from battles. The instruction manual on the Morphin Grid is probably pretty extensive, but certain glitches like not being able to sustain two of the same Rangers for long will give the Power Rangers writers plenty of plot options to work with.



Here’s where I take a second to speculate. I haven’t been keeping up with the Power Rangers TV series for a number of years, so feel free to correct me or add your own thoughts. It sounds like the current Dino Charge team will be able to glimpse the future team, ie. the team which will take over in the movie, but it remains to be seen whether or not the Morphin Grid will survive Scorpina’s attack. If not, then it will probably fall to the new team to restore their portion of it somehow, especially since it’s supposed to represent the balance that is maintained between the forces of good and evil.

At this point, I can honestly say I’m a bit more interested in checking out the new movie version of Power Rangers, especially since it sounds like Lionsgate and the filmmakers are keeping the fans’ considerations and loyalties in mind rather than just rebooting a popular property. What about you? Whether you’re a long-time MMPR fan or just someone who is vaguely familiar with it, we want to hear from you! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

[Alien Anal]

ahhhhhh wtf!

If im wrong so be it but this just screams disaster.

 

[LostSon88]

If this is true, I've pretty much lost all interest.

I wanted to see the original team reimagined, the one I grew up watching. I really could care less about what is probably the 20th version of the Rangers, movie or not.

 

[Wheels]

This is ridiculous. No one is going to want to see a continuation of the current run except the kids who watch and older hardcore fans. This sounds like the formula for the old films, which has no chance for mass appeal.

Ditto.

 

[Loki882]

I'm mixed on it. On the one hand, I've had no great love for the newer post-RPM shows. On the other hand, I kind of DON'T want them to just remake the old TV show. It's a case of "been there, done that" for me. I'd rather that they just do something completely new this time around.

 

[Wheels]

I don't have an issue with them not remaking MMPR, but a continuation of PRDC is just stupid. It gives me the impression that this is a glorified TV movie.

 

[terry78]

Reboot the original cast, or don't do it all.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If that news is true then blah, I'll probably wait until DVD.

 

[momotaros]

Looks like they learned nothing from the first two movies. Here, I thought they might actually give us some thing interesting. Should have known when it was moved to Jan. lol

 

[Quasimod0]

Sounds terrible. How are you going to explain all of that to general audiences anyways?
I'm hoping that's fake

 

[MadVillainy]

So wait is this like Star Trek 09 where theres an alternate timeline and the movie acknowledges both the original timeline (with the Dino Team) and the new one their creating for the film?

Because i only read this briefly but that's what it seems like. Because isnt that Naomi Scott girl going to be Kimberly or did they just say that she will be the "Pink Ranger"

 

[Lencho01]

I was kinda hoping much like the first PR film, this would be its own thing.

 

[momotaros]

If you have seen the latest season. You will be saying "my god that acting is horrible". Now they want to put DC on the big screen. Man, it will make DB Evolution look decent. lol

It only says Pink Ranger on the movie site.
