Nerdist were on hand to gather some intel on this big screen reincarnation of the extremely popular kids show. Dacre Montgomery (Jason the Red Ranger), Naomi Scott (Kimberley the Pink Ranger), RJ Cyler (Billy the Blue Ranger), Ludi Lin (Zach the Black Ranger), and Becky G (Trini the Yellow Ranger) all autographed posters and greeted fans. And there were some juicy new details revealed. The Lionsgate franchise reboot doesn't have a panel planned, but yesterday in San Diego at the official Lionsgate booth, the New Rangers united on the convention floor. We've also included the original opening of the show.Fans are anxiously awaiting the first trailer for Power Rangers, which could arrive during Comic-Con at any time. Take a look, as this video is sure to get long time fans amped up for the big Power Rangers premiere this spring. Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, Becky G., Ludi Lin, and RJ Cyler star as the new Rangers, with Bill Hader voicing Alpha 5. Power Rangers is directed by Dean Israelite from a script written by John Gatins. This reedited trailer is actually made even more amazing in the fact that not much footage has been released from Power Rangers just yet, as we narrow in on the Marelease date. Alpha 5 is on the scene, and Goldar makes an appearance as well. We get to see Elizabeth Banks' villain Rita Repulsa in all her repulsiveness and we get to see Bryan Cranston as a rebooted Zordon. And it's evident that this is actually a pretty cool reimagining of what has come before it with a slightly bigger budget. We get to see all of the new characters in action, in their updated form. This new video comes compete with everything from the split screen character introductions to Zordon calling forth his teen superheroes. This recut sidesteps that and puts back a few elements that definitely belong. And it helps push some of the intended nostalgia home. But it shouldn't completely abandoned those elements, as it's part of what makes the show so special and beloved by millions of viewers. It's obvious that this new Power Rangers is trying to sidestep some of the campier elements of the original show.
But as we see here, Lionsgate and Saban would have been better off getting someone to update the original theme song, as it gives the footage an extra added kick that was missing that first time around. It's a song that trailer editors seem to be enamored with. In the latest trailer, we heard Kanye West's Power used once again as a backdrop for the action playing out in the movie. Perhaps better than the original version of the trailer. This trailer recut is set to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers opening theme song and credits.
Well, a new fan edit should cheer them up.Īn enterprising young Youtuber names Sebastian Hughes has decided to cut the latest Power Rangers footage in a way that some original series fans are going to love. But still, some old school fans were left cold by that they saw.
And it seems to have just the right balance of humor.
Power Rangers actually looks pretty good. A new trailer was released this past week, which finally gave everyone a good look at what's in store. Fans of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers show have been somewhat disappointed by the dark overtones and more serious nature of Lionsgate and Saban's upcoming reboot.
