Lionsgate and Saban announced today that they are working on a live action rebooting of Power Rangers to be released as a feature film!
“Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” Saban said. “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.”
I was caught up in the hype around the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and watched it quite a bit, but then didn’t watch another episode until Power Rangers Samurai came out. This time it was the little ones in my house watching it and I enjoyed it myself as it reminded me of the original show.
Here’s hoping that the movie can update it just enough,while maintaining the things that everyone liked about the TV shows. I also hope they find roles for the original Rangers.
