Open with Kimberly dying and Tommy wanting to get vengeance for his ex-girlfriend.
Badaboom. Instant PG-13.

This just seems like the silliest idea ever. It blows my mind that JDF thinks he carries THAT large of a fanbase, enough to warrant a film essentially just about him. There's no way something like this could ever work. I admit there's a huge wave of nostalgia for people my age and older with him right now but there's just no way this would ever happen.

JDF, we love you but the show is called Power RangerS. There can't only be one.

The man's ego is stunningly large. Wow.
I'm sure you're right, but we've been proven wrong about things involving Hollywood before. So, I believe anything is possible. Necessary, however? No. Quote:
So an original kid-friendly character, in a movie not so kid-friendly when the kid-friendly show is still airing said kid-friendly shows. Yea this will work, because parents wont pay attention to fact that it is PG13 all theyll see is Power Rangers.... And how the hell could one make it work? Though if it does.... I can thelp but think that this would open the door to possible Rider in USA....
In a not so kid-friendly movie while the kid-friendly shows are still airing: TF1/Animated, ROTF/Animated, DOTM/Transformers Prime And in ROTF, Optimus went vicious psycho killer, ripping Grindor's head in two with hooks, and then is promptly killed by Megatron with a sword stab through the torso, followed by a massive gun blast through his spark chamber. Ripped off The Fallen's face. Plus all of the killings done in DOTM. It did work. Parents and kids went to see the trilogy in droves. Mothers even approved of the first film (it's true!) And now with the Dinobots in 4, plus Jurassic Park IV coming, kids will line up to see it. So, it's most certainly not impossible. It just has to be handled right. RPM, while not perfect, had moments that aimed themselves at adults over kids and it worked. Won quite a few people back, such as myself. Saban will never go for it, unless someone shows him he'll make beaucoup bucks off of it. Impossible? No. Gonna happen? Probably not. If it does? Probably going to be terrible. |

I have no words.
This is just... Huh? WHA? Unless he's dressed as a grasshopper or beetle, this is just cuckoo. |

I read this is another interview and thought little of it. I didn't realise he was actually serious about.
Wow, JDF needs to reel in his arrogance and realise that he does not carry the franchise on his own.

JDF and his overly huge ego never fails to disappoint.
This isn't ever going to happen. It's a bit funny that he thinks that he alone has enough popularity to carry an entire movie when it'd be a gamble making a Power Rangers movie now in the first place. And PG-13? Kid, you're dreaming. I saw that too and just thought "that's just JDF being JDF". |

With the way Saban pushes Mighty Morphin' and fuels the nostalgia fans, more than recognising what an incredible franchise it is as a whole, if there was any single Ranger to get a movie, it would be Tommy. I mean this is probably unlikely to happen, but I am really surprised by the reactions, not so much to Tommy but more the likeliness of this happening with all we have seen.

As for the PG-13 rating, it would be easy for the film to get that. Just show Tommy a little beat up/bloody or have some really intense battles with big explosions. Heck, the tiniest bit of swearing will do it.
I can see it working and be a success, but it'll be like transformers where kids love it and most fans loathe it. Want to know my plot? A new alien threat is discovered. To combat it, a secret government organization extracts the Dragonzord from Angel Grove Harbor (where it should still technically be). They reverse engineer the ranger powers from it, tapping into the morphing grid, and assemble a new team of 5 core rangers, however, they are inexperienced and unfamiliar with the equipment. Desperate and with armageddon fast approaching, they turn to Tommy, the only man capable of training and mentoring this new team. Tommy initally dislikes the new team because he's comparing them to the original, his friends. He disbands and tries to take on a large group of monsters on his own but he starts to get his ass handed to him and is about to be killed when the new team shows up saves him, gaining his respect. In the end, Tommy would sacrifice his powers/zord to stop the threat but state that the world doesn't need him when it has the new team. An end-credits scene shows the research/develop team secretly working on something. Zoom in on the white ranger logo, panning out to reveal a modernized saba and parts of a white ranger suit as people bustle around. Bam. Simple, but it would reintroduce the already rich mythos of mmpr and open it up for further sequels. Last edited by conundrum; 08-29-2013 at 02:38 PM.. |

Honestly, if they would make a solo movie of any ranger, there's only a handful that could carry a feature film by themself and the green ranger is one of them. I'm not saying it would be good, but it could be done. As for the PG-13 rating, it would be easy for the film to get that. Just show Tommy a little beat up/bloody or have some really intense battles with big explosions. Heck, the tiniest bit of swearing will do it.
I can see it working and be a success, but it'll be like transformers where kids love it and most fans loathe it. If it works out though and there's a sequel, I can see them incorporating the white ranger powers and possibly some other rangers. Want to know my plot? A new alien threat is discovered. To combat it, a secret government organization fishes out the Dragonzord from Angel Grove Harbor (where it should still technically be). They reverse engineer the ranger powers from it but are unable to get the zord to work because they don't have the right operator. Desperate and with armageddon fast approaching, they turn to Tommy, the only man for the job. Simple, but it would tell a new story with familiar elements.
