Power Rangers Movie Now Joining 'The Hunger Games,' 'Twilight' and 'Divergent' in Lionsgate's Stable of Potential Blockbusters
The live-action Power Rangers movie remake by Saban and Lionsgate will be released for theater showing on July 22, 2016. According to the studio's official statement, the upcoming film will be "a modern reinvention of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of ordinary high school kids who find themselves infused with extraterrestrial powers and must harness those powers as a team to save the world." Penning the script for the Power Rangers movie reboot are Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller, the same writing duo who wrote the screenplay for the blockbuster Thor and X-Men: First Class movies. Haim Saban of Saban Entertainment is producing along with Brian Casentini and Allison Shearmur. At this point, the Power Rangers movie full cast and its director have yet to be named.
The Power Rangers 2016 reboot movie joins the 1995 "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" and the 1997 "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" in the Power Rangers movie list. The original TV series from which these films have been adapted, have in turn been based from the long-running Japanese "Super Sentai" TV series. Of course, unlike the "Mighty Morphin" and the "Turbo" story arcs, not all of the show's seasons have been turned into full-length feature films. For instance, the "Power Rangers Megaforce" storyline has not been made into a Power Rangers movie in 2013 nor a Power Rangers movie in 2014. The TV show which has been running successfully since 1993 has spawned a franchise which now includes DVD collections, video games, comic books, toys, apparel, and other merchandise.
In choosing to partner with Lionsgate for the next live-action movie adaptation of its popular TV show, Saban told the Wrap: "Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level. They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from 'The Hunger Games' to 'Twilight' and 'Divergent.' In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we're confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own."
