Oh, yeah, that I can see. :lol

I think this was a great interview and can put a lot of fans' worries to rest for the time being.

It has for me. Seems like he is excited to do it and wants to try as much as he can to stick to the show. Now if he wants to be canon? RPM. Easiest way possible.

Maybe not entirely related but I was wondering, if they do merchandising, who will handle it? BoA? BoJ? A collaboration?

Bandai America will likely do toys for the movies and Bandai Japan will likely use Bandai America toys if the movie gets a Japanese release. Bandai Japan release the Bandai America toys for Godzilla 2014 in Japan.

It would be cool if we got other toy companies like NECA and Hot Toys doing stuff for the movie.

A movie partner has not been announced.

Saban Brands contract with Bandai of America runs through 2016. If the movie isn't released until 2017, a new contract with Bandai of America would have to be drafted up.

I can see how it doesn't neccesarily have to be a reboot. Considering the history of the series, it can't be too hard to come up with some technobabble that essentially means "The MMPR powers have been recreated, but for whatever reason they have to be given to new people and not any of the existing MMPR".

I was kind of hoping this would be its own continuity, but having it be in the same universe as the show...just, no.

If it's going to be its own thing while still existing in the same universe, then this'll basically be an excuse to keep the Mighty Morphin'/Zyuranger suit designs relevant as more than just "The first Power Rangers" as well as have the full team be kept around in case Saban wants to use them in future crossover installments, since doing so with the original cast would be impossible for them now.

I wood love to see this be in the same universe. Have some past Rangers like Tommy tell them about the past of Power Rangers. Help them become the new MMPR Rangers. I very much hope this is in the same universe i think that wood be grate to see.
