I know there is a lot of history with this thing, dating back well before I was cast - but I do know Dom personally, have so for years, and I can tell you he's the real deal. Is he passionate? Yes - does he take some things to heart sometimes that people say about the work he is trying to do? Yes, and has he lashed out some out of that? Yes - but I am the same way sometimes and I feel like anyone who has a great deal of love and passion and damn hard work ethic about their art, their careers & their project is the same way too. I myself am a working actor in New York and Los Angeles, I've been around the block a few times, so you're not gonna get any bs from me. I love an open dialogue about this thing as I am very excited to be a part of it. So with that being said, if there's anything (and let's try and keep things civil this go 'round, that's the only way I roll) you'd like to know about or ask me, please do so.

In the short though, I leave in 7 days to fly to NYC to shoot my stuff and all of us will be at New York Comic Con on Saturday Oct 12th. As for a C&D, nothing has come our way on that front - anything out there on that is just rumors, and I'm guessing that came out of the "Disclaimer"-esque posts on our Twitter & Facebook - which btw way was put out there because the following of this thing is growing daily, we are getting asked for interviews and stuff, the facebook likes and twitter followers keep increasing, so the producers (regardless of what has gone down in the epic saga of this thing apparently) just wanted to put that out there so that everyone keeping tabs on us or checking us out would not be confused as to exactly what we are or aren't and what we are trying to do.

All in all, we are just trying to adapt Power Rangers in a way that we feel hasn't been done before and in a way that we think is cool and works well. And once we do it, hopefully everyone checks it out and digs it, and if not, that's cool too, but at least we took a risk and tried to deliver the baddest-ass (I know this is probably not a word) thing we could!

Like I said though, I love the back and forth with you guys, so let's give each other some respect in that way, let's state our opinions as just that, opinions and not as facts and let's see if we can have some fun taking to each other! Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Judging by this post, you haven't read much, if any of this thread at all, have you?

Tell me, how can someone have a passion for something they know very little about? How can Power Rangers be adapted in a "different way" then what's been done before if the history of it is unknown?

Unlike Dom, Michael Bay actually took the time to get to know the Transformers mythos. He met with Hasbro reps extensively and then put a spin on the story. While I am a fan of the Bayverse movies, the story is great, the acting and other stuff isn't the best. But, it's campy, which is what Transformers has sorta always been, and it's what Power Rangers is always been. Why remove the camp?
