I don't like Adam Sandler.

I'm not sure what to say to that. Here's my list going from most to least likely about what the movie is.

1 MMPR reboot. I would most likely bet this is it. A reboot with the original suits, zords and maybe the green ranger? Honestly, it'd be cool if they got actual teenagers to play the parts and made it PG-13, because I don't want wooden characters that are unrealistic. Of course it would ride on the story but MMPR season 1 has no story for the core Rangers to base off of.

2 Go-Busters adaptation. Since lots of PRs are technically reimaginings of the original, I could see this happening too. It would also allow Saban to take more liberties with this, as something like this would all probably be reshot.

3 Great Dinosaur War?

they really need to stop living in the past, I love Mighty Morphin but i'd prefer they stop pushing it as the only good version or the only one worth talking about.

If theyre gonna do MM films though. i'd plan a trilogy with green introduced at the end of the first post credits, have that played through the second, then Thunderzords and White Ranger in the third

I just hope PLEX is involved in some capacity. I'd hate for Saban to wing it like they did in the first movie. PLEX always has some stand-up stuff.

I really hope it's done well and by people who actually like MMPR.

No matter how it turns out, kudos to them for trying to make an original storyline.

I think one key difference compared to previous efforts at making Power Rangers movies is that this time there's an external partner in Lionsgate to help produce and develop the movie. That would be of tremendous help elevating this movie to at least a professional level. The past two movies were soley Saban/Toei productions.

This is all fairly neat. I do hope it's watchable.
I doubt it will be, considering it's a MMPR reboot, but I don't feel like being needlessly cynical despite knowing literally nothing about the movie.

NO. No Jack Black, and no Adam Sandler.

Just the very idea of rebooting Power Rangers makes me sick.

Well...and Twentieth Century Fox.

Fox distributed the movies...that didn't mean they had much of an input in making them. Compared to here, the press release seems adamant that both Lionsgate and Saban are developing them together.

Exactly.

And something hit me this morning. The original movie came in at the start of, or about, season 3. Which was four years in to MMPR. We're now four years into Neo-Saban.. and they release this news.

Does that mean in two more years we'll get a horrible sequel? Because I don't want another Turbo...

Not only is Adam Sandler unfunny as hell he would be far too old to play Skull in his high school years.

That would be glorious~

Unfortunately JDF has taken to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and anywhere else his zombies will listen to claim this entire partnership between Saban & Lionsgate was his idea. His feeble attempt at creating a Green Ranger movie being the genesis of this deal somehow according to him.

Not only is this an entirely ridiculous assumption for him to make, but he's also demanding people spam Lionsgate until they cut him in on the film. How can you take credit for something and simultaneously demand to be involved in it? If he'd actually been "responsible" for this thing then he'd already be involvded in it :lol

That's really unethical behaviour of him, encouraging people to spam Lionsgate like that. He's deliberately manipulating people for selfish gain.

There isn't much we can really do about it. People like Tommy.

My Brother!

Trains, a Power rangers movie.

My one request is that they hire actors who actually ARE actors, not just models and people they picked up off the street.

Id like to hope that it will take cues from the MMPR series, will craft a decent teen based drama with decent special effects and be a cross between Pacific Rim and a show on the CW. Im sure a lot of people could tolerate/enjoy that.

Lets be honest, a fan pleasing (Meaning those of us in out 20s/30s) uber film that many of us would love to see this will not be, nor should it be. Its aimed at kids, let it be for kids.

Id also like zero involvement from any previous actor from the franchise. If you want to do a theatrical film, make it a seperate continuity, spend money on the FX and do it right.

If it happens to expose the regular TV show for the absolute lazy pile of shit it has been for the last 4 years mthen im all for that too.

Remember, Studio financing means this will not just be a Saban project

I hope they use squibs for the body sparks. When it's cgi you can tell how fake it is.

The only thing I´m praying for is...dont do the "Dark and Edgy ZOMG Adult Version" of Power Rangers. Remember what made the franchise special and dont throw that completely overboard with this movie.

Well, an MMPR reboot? Well okay, while I'm sick with all this stuff MMPR is getting, at least it might make the rangers popular again. And hopefully this isn't like a Sentai film where it's a dude in the Megazord costume, please no.

Now seeing the redesigns of the MMPR suits could work well and I can see them remodeling the Go-Buster suits to match a T-Rex and the rest.

honestly if this movie has to be about mmpr then i'd like it to be a connecting story to dc. or an adaptation of kyoryuger vs go-busters. i really don't want to just see the mmpr plot rehashed again. i'd also like to see at least one former ranger return as a cameo if it is a reboot movie, maybe like a teacher or something.

Maybe we get a full reboot with this and Dino Charge.

i get we they are going with a mighty morphin Movie,

but why not other power rangers, like in space, or wild force
i would kill for a wild force movie

Now that I've had almost a day to think about this, or atleast a few hours, I'm excited. Maybe, maybe, this movie will be this giant apology for how bad some of Neo_Saban has been. Maybe this will make up for everything. Including Jayden's bowl cut!

Ever since I saw this news, I've been saying how Power Rangers has been it's best when it's doing it's own thing (in my opinion at least). In Space, Lost Galaxy, RPM, all fantastic series that owe very little to their sentai counter parts. Even the original movie is a fairly good example of this. My interest in this does die down with the thought that they are doing an MMPR reboot. Still, if they do their own thing, and don't get bogged down on "tradition" I think we could have something really neat on our hands.

Yeah, don't forget that you're making a show adapted from a Japanese series that right now is making a show that's unapologetically about rainbows, imagination and trains!

Though a dark and edgy ToQger adaptation would be fun...

You say that now.
When that happens, the complains and screaming would be nonstop.

I'm not gonna read like 80+ posts on the subject but going on what was said in the first post.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Huh

This is the only fandom I've come across that has opted out of eating itself when a movie is announced.

Let's see what happens if Power Rider turns-out to be the big screen adaptation of Kamen/Masked Rider and they pull a shared world like marvel.

But this is a Power Rangers movie though...

Speculation...

If it has to be an MMPR reboot could Saban do us a favor and keep it out of continuity with the rest of the series?

I don't want a universe where the exact same conflict happens twice.

Also, could we classify toku reboot movies as its own subgenre now? Considering how many older franchises Toei has reboot movies/ movie war segments for, I'm surprised we don't have a goranger reboot.

I wonder if they're doing this to try and ride the tail of Marvel and Sony. All I'm saying is a cross film franchise of Power Rangers movies each featuring a different team from the twenty years would be SEXY.

Given its Lionsgate, its gonna be Twilight with robots.

That would be more believable than Twilight. :p
