Us 90s kids rejoice. Honestly looking back this show was cheesy as hell but my goodness it was the best show ever as a kid. The first movie was decent too. Good times, good times. Power Rangers Gets the Movie Reboot We’ve Been Waiting For Proving that no childhood icon is safe from the forces of Hollywood, the (Mighty Morphin’) Power Rangers are now set to follow in the footsteps of the Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, andGI Joe and get their own big-screen reboot. In a statement released today, Lionsgate and Power Rangers owners Saban Brands revealed the partnership, with Power Rangers creator Haim Saban saying that Lionsgate is “the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” referencing the studio’s The Hunger Games,Divergent and Twilight franchises as proof. Power Rangers are “the perfect brand with which to create a motion picture event that will resonate with moviegoers around the world for years to come,” Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said in the statement, suggesting that the studio is already looking at building a big franchise out of the kids’ series that has run, almost uninterrupted, for the last 21 years. This won’t be the first big-screen outing for the franchise; Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Moviewas released in 1995 in an attempt to capitalize on the craze surrounding the series’ first incarnation, with Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie following two years later to launch the series’ third incarnation. (Pity poor Power Rangers Zeo, which came in between and didn’t get its time in the cinema sun.) Between this announcement and this summer’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, it’s clear that the childhood nostalgia craze amongst Hollywood executives has reached the early 1990s. Should Turtlesbe a hit when it’s released this August, we can only hope that the official announcement of a Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? reboot is quickly forthcoming.
Speaking of 90s TV shows, did anyone else watch Beast Wars? I used to get up at like 5 a.m. to watch it, that was the original transformers (or at least what transformers was before it became transformers).
yeah. Me and my sister use to watch that too. I liked that version and the one they did I believe in the early 2000s on foxkids (lazy to google).
On channel 11! I used to watch that and I discovered Pokemon when it used to air at 7 AM. That is when I fell in love with card games and anime.
Yeah they did beast machines which was like the sequel. I never liked that show as much as Beast Wars. I had all the transformer toys.
This is one of those things people my age (25) will get excited for thanks to childhood memories, and then watch it with disgust.
Man, who is going to protect Spring Hill, FL while they are off filming the movie NYJets17 is going to take over the town
Bah, the original Japanese version of show was infinitely better than the watered down cheese fest in America made for kids. Hopefully the reboot is more like that, but I doubt it.
I watched the short film and liked it, obviously budget issues but still pretty cool for what it was.
I doubt it. If they bring a more adult story,update the uniforms I can see this getting transformers (2007) hype and numbers in the box office.
Aren't you the one that has been predicting the end of Walking Dead? I don't think you have anything resembling a realistic grasp on tv production much less movies.
You're an asshole who has as a problem with everyone. Block me if you want because you clearly always have a dick up your ass. And I took a media technology course and TV production (A+ in both) and worked on the set of The Knick. Sent from my LG-LS720 using Tapatalk
I don't have a problem with everyone guy, but you clearly have a problem with reality, have fun watching the Mighty Morphin Fuckfest that you always wanted to see since you were a kid but actually it will be a pile of CGI nonsense that you try to talk yourself into thinking is good but in all actuality it will be fodder for the mentally weak.
