Earlier this year rumours began to circulate that an interview with TOEI executive Takeyuki Suzuki in the February issue of Hyper Hobby magazine mentioned the possibility of filming brand new Legend war footage for Power Rangers' 20th anniversary, with all pre-Zyuranger teams removed.
Now, courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited user Nerefir the interview has been translated, and does indeed suggest that TOEI will be filming new footage for the anniversary. The translated portion of the interview has been included below. Quote:
HH: 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, isn't it.
Suzuki: At first we got an offer from America to do something like "199 Heroes," but of course Power Rangers started with Zyuranger, so the characters before that don't exist. "So just get rid of those parts." (laughs) We can't do that either, so the discussion became "Let's just film new footage with the 20 years' worth that we do need." HH: Power Rangers has already been reimported and dubbed with the voices of the actors that played in the Japanese original. That's very interesting. Suzuki: Yes, once you get used to it, it's very interesting. But there's a cost to getting the actors to dub, so we can't really do it much. HH: Lately they have events even in Taiwan. In Asia, it's not really "Power Rangers," is it? Suzuki: I suppose. Originally they would just broadcast the Japanese version in east Asia. They've been doing that in Taiwan for 7 years now. It's not really profitable, but they wanted to try it out, so they did it. It's gotten an unusually good reaction. HH: So then, what are the prospects for sentai, including Power Rangers, in 2012? Suzuki: In America it will be the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, so they have to put forth a lot of work. In preparation for that, they asked us to "film the parts with the sentai (from Zyuranger on) in Japan." We're currently setting up for that.

This means that the 20th anniversary of the Power Rangers is gonna kick some serious butt!!!! I can't wait!!! I hope they play tribute to all the series of PR and what made them so unique. I want them to embrace the Power Rangery-ness of the series without regard to the Sentai series. I want to see Zordon, Zedd, Rita, Alpha, Bulk and th return of Skull along with Spike and tons of actors from the previous series. I want to see Dekker wink a nod to him being in WildForce. I want it all!!!!!

Seems like it's shifting very heavily to Gokaiger. I guess filming their own footage would make it easy to eliminate the Goseigers from the series, considering they did nothing significant outside the 199 Hero movie. It's still a big shame though, but at least now we can say that the Gokaiger adaptation won't be entirely a slavish copy.

I figure it will be one of two options - either there will be a good reason why those powers are back (and why the MMPR Green and White Rangers are fighting alongside Zeo Red and Dino Thunder Black) or it will all be totally ignored, necessitating a lot of fan theories to explain stuff. I'm betting it's not going to be the former. |
