This one is right in the childhood.
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are getting reinvented for a new audience in a new film. The original version of the Power Rangers, the series was based on a Japanese series and ran for 3 series before getting renamed. It featured 5 teens selected to battle evil and protect the Earth.
The new film is said to be a collaboration between the original creators Saban and Hunger Games film studio, Lionsgate. The studio has stated that “with an extensive and extremely devoted worldwide fan base as well as a deep and detailed mythology, the Power Rangers are primed for the big screen.” They went on to say that the new Power Rangers will be “a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.”
There will no doubt be concerns about the new film from fans, partly fuelled by the trailers for a film based on another successful 1990’s series, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, being panned by quite a few. The Michael Bay film, due out in August, could very well leave fans dreading what will happen to the Rangers.
