Interesting insight. Guy doing this claims to be a professor of cinematography, when in reality, he's a student. Wants to get in to the business and decided that Power Rangers has adult fans and they would be "easy to steal" and make his work popular. This will get sued. This will get shut down.

I think the information was always out there, just never posted on any of the forums, but peoples' Facebook conversations, etc. They're banking on having anyone involved in Power Rangers over the years to help get interest for their "film" and using it as fan-bait.
Kind of sad really.

I just really don't get the hate, They have the appropriate disclaimers, they have alumni, they have regular updates and video messages. I feel like I'm being told I'm supposed to feel guilty for looking forward to this. I listen to the podcast and hear the same thing people accuse the creators of this film of being. "Their suits look butt ugly" that is an opinion....stated like a fact. It's one of the reasons I never go to RB and how people keep ignoring what they're doing NOW and keep referencing what they did THEN. and again it's something TOLD. I've said before I had a good long talk with a producer several years ago, you would not BELIEVE how many "Facts" we have from the history of Power Rangers are flat out not true.
Heck even last year we got that letter from the writers of "Forever Red" that talked about how much of the creation of Forever Red on the internet is just flat out untrue. I really fail to see how this is any less or more than what Matt Austin is attempting.

I really fail to see how this is any less or more than what Matt Austin is attempting. The guy from MMPR wants to get in to the film business and popularity is the easiest way, so he chose a series that had a lot of adult fans in hopes of a quick rise to fame. He's going out and grabbing talent that have worked on Power Rangers in hopes that it'll bring even more popularity to his work (ie: Robert Axelrod, David Fielding, Ron Wasserman). Matt Austin and his cast loved their time together and always wanted to get back together. Not being invited for Super Megaforce seemed to have brought them back together again, and he wants to do a 22 minute "fan-film" continuation of SPD using the actual cast FOR the fans. Totally non-profit, for the fans of the SPD series. You tell me what the difference is.

every 2 to three years we as a fandom give 1 billion dollars plus to Michael Bay for an 'Official" Transformers film.
If we get something even 1% better than what he's given us,that doesn't feature Testicles, dogs humping, drugged out parents or urine jokes, I couldn't give less of a rip why the guy STARTED to do the project and care only about what the end result is. And I don't expect every young film maker to create 'Duel' as their first film. Guy wants to get his name out there attached to a recognizable IP fine. You say it's sad why he started, I find it sad the effort people are putting into killing interest in it.

For example, when people ask me how ROTF was, I don't tell them "oh, there's a ball joke in there" I tell them it was great and action packed and at parts can be comical. But if you're hanging on (forgive the pun) the testicle thing, as a downer for ROTF, you should probably look outside the box at the rest of the movie. Quote:

Power Rangers was meant to be and has always been campy and cheesy. Turning Power Rangers into Nolan's Batman isn't really going to get him where he wants to go. The guy has admitted that he doesn't know much about Power Rangers beyond MMPR. Granted, that's the focus of his film, but the mythos is in all of Power Rangers. Since MMPR was the jumping off point and by far the cheesiest and campiest series of them all, why try to change that? I guess my question here is, with the stuff that you looked down on in Transformers, and that's what makes up Power Rangers (sans the ball jokes of course, but the campy, cheesy portions of it) then why do you care about this film so much? Because it's not cheesy and instead grimdark? Last edited by MnemonicSyntax; 05-28-2013 at 02:53 PM.. |

MMPR's budget is being provided BY YOU. YOU are paying for it before production even BEGINS. You have NO say in what happens but you're paying for the whole project. But they promise that you won't be disappointed. I mean, they have Ron Wasserman, and Robert Axelrod, and David Fielding. And Lord Zedd's staff. See? That's why this will be great. That is what they're selling you on - not the movie they want you to pay for, but by the people who have been gratious enough to probably do this FOR FREE for the fans in a misguided project that was sold to them as "we're doing this for the fans!" when it's actually "I'm hoping this will jumpstart my career and I'm using you to use the fans to skyrocket my popularity, which I've stated in an E-mail!" You don't have to see Michael Bay's Transformers films. You choose to see them or not. And when/if you do, that's when you provide them with $$ which helps them prove that it was either a) worth it or b) not worth it. Quote:

I wait to be proven otherwise.

Different fandom, different things. Transformers does not equal this in the slightest.
The people behind this MMPR project only appear to be involved because they want to make a name rather than be a part of something truly great. MMPR happened 20 years ago and was great for what it was at the time. But trying to recapture that essence, albeit in a more gritty/dark (?) way seems kind of pointless when you aren't even trying to recapture it. When you're only in it for some money and recognition you aren't ever going to recapture anything. No matter how many previously involved PR people you bring in. Matt Austin on the other hand wants to create a tribute to his season and give fans a reunion of the actors. They want to get together to give fans a legitimate, albeit also unofficial, film. They aren't trying to cash in by using the old school love a lot of people have for MMPR as their meal ticket. They aren't preying on that fan base for money, they just love their fans and want to get back together to give something back.
