Orci taking this seriously
 

This is a serious move for something most people don't think heavily about. Outside of people who care, the world at large doesn't think much about Power Rangers and really take more than a little time to slam people who do. It isn't all that surprising that Orci is giving this some definite thought about how this should occur. People in similar positions as him think about even the little details when doing a picture based on a long and popular franchise, be it Star Trek or Power Rangers. If the article is true to what Orci is thinking, then he'll remain true to what has happened, but take stock on the fact that what has happened isn't necessarily what everyone else wants. What is more surprising is that Saban isn't wanting ANYONE to step all over his property! Does this man even look at his programming anymore? What is curious about some of this is the talk about having an "arc"; a story. This is a wise move as the Megaforce opening, "Mega Mission", was just a rip of "Day of the Dumpster." We don't need the classic first episode blown over into a two-hour free-for-all that's only good for spiting on people and making its money back. We need to examine Mighty Morphin' in its entirety and consider taking multiple cues from multiple episodes, not just a wholly original story and not just a modern take on the classics. Don't get me wrong, I would like to see some originality here. I want a fresh and powerful movie that appeals to everyone, not just a bunch of drek that makes the public happy but leaves the true fans aggravated that another property was subjected to the remake machine.

The movie is likely set in a different timeline. It would be cool if they make the movie set in 1993 and go retro on everyone.

The way I'm reading it, we still don't really have an answer to the continuity question. I'm glad that they're considering it, but that's all that was said.

I'll laugh if they have an answer to the "new powers". Who knows, it may or may not.

Surprise twist: It's a Dairanger adaptation :lol

This is the cross media promotion Saban is doing. Where instead of shitty tie-in episodes, plots of SMF will be resolved in the upcoming reboot movie.

Since it's from one of the guys that did the Star Trek reboot, I can see them possibly doing what they did with that franchise.

If it really is a MMPR movie, I'd guess maybe it could go kind of like the original movie in that it's basically an 'alternate universe' version of what happened in the beginning of Season 3.

Or maybe something happens, like a villain from the Rangers' past like Goldar is revealed to have survived the Zordon Wave of In Space and wants revenge, managing to find a way back in time to try and change history, freeing up Rita early on, or bringing Lord Zedd into things right away. Another idea, maybe making it so the original Rangers never were friends and never met, but then something somehow brings them together.

So like all the Rangers come from different schools, slightly different backgrounds from each other and obviously hang with different kinds of friends, but something changes it all. Whereas before, Kimberly, the popular girl, would never associate with Billy, the nerd, something connects them all and leads them to become Power Rangers again in this new universe.

I've got a great idea for the movie, no alternate timelines, no cameos, no attempt to tie it all together so fanboys go mental (I makes me cackle with glee to see obsessives try to validate their theories on the pr universe). Just take the tropes, a few good jokes and make a good fucking movie. Screw the show, the only people who follow the entire franchise are going anyway, they're nerds, this needs to be 100% original origin or it will drive people away.

Just because Star Trek does alt universes IT DOESNT MEAN WE NEED THAT HERE!!!!

If this looks like the TV show, it will bomb. It needs to appeal to mainstream audiences, not uber geeks.

Sorry to sound harsh to everybody but this is the start of a franchise of mass release films (hopefully) not an uber fan made wish list of mmpr fantasies.

I actually think this would be kinda cool, the Dairanger suits and mecha were awesome and so to see them brought up to modern times and big budgets could be awesome. Anything but more MMPR wanking.

Please no, this idea that Power Rangers somehow owes Sentai makes me literally want to vomit.

Super Sentai is the source material. Without it, there would be no Power Rangers. I like how RPM did a nod to Go-Onger with Project G.O-O.N.G.E.R. By Zyranger elements, I mean something like Rita gets steal up back in her jar by the end of the movie similar what happen in Zyuranger just to play safe.
