Power Rangers, a live-action children’s TV show that features spandex-clad superheroes will soon be rebooted as a major motion picture that is scheduled to be released on January 13, 2017. The Power Rangers franchise has been kept alive through various TV series iterations ever since it made its debut on Fox in 1993. Despite its campy tone and stylized fight sequences, the original Power Rangers TV show was criticized for being too violent for children. Of course, now that a reboot is in the works, questions about the level of violence in Power Rangers are cropping up once again. After all, when popular children’s shows like Transformers and G.I. Joe were rebooted for the big screen, they turned out much darker and grittier than the original TV shows. So will the upcoming Power Rangers movie follow the pattern established by other kids TV shows that have been adapted for the big screen or will it keep the somewhat goofy, tongue-in-cheek spirit of the original? Here’s everything we know about the new Power Rangers reboot, from the tone of the movie, to the latest casting announcements. • The story Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late. • The costumes The first image showing the Power Rangers in their redesigned costumes has been released via Entertainment Weekly (see above). The new costumes have ditched the all-spandex look of the originals for a more tactical body armor appearance.

This means that the Power Rangers movie is unlikely to stray past the PG-13 threshold and may even aim for the PG rating that was given to the two previous Power Rangers films. Finally, director Dean Israelite’s own comments about the script also suggest that the new film will not attempt to re-imagine the Power Rangers as a group of dark, brooding superheroes. “I read the script and was really surprised by it and thought there was a really cool, contemporary, mature but still playful, buoyant and fun take on the material, and was updated in a really interesting way,” Israelite told IGN. • The writers Although fans of Kahn’s unauthorized short film may be disappointed that the reboot won’t give Power Rangers a darker tone, there’s several reasons to believe that the new film will still turn out to be an entertaining reboot of a beloved ‘’90s TV show. Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz – a writing team whose credits include the highly successful Marvel movies Thor and X-Men: First Class – also collaborated on the screenplay for Power Rangers. So bringing a little bit of Marvel’s superhero movie mojo to Power Rangers certainly won’t hurt either. • The cast: The Blue Ranger - RJ Cyler The Red Ranger - Dacre Montgomery The Black Ranger - Ludi Lin The Pink Ranger - Naomi Scott The Yellow Ranger - Becky G (Photo not found) Rita Repulsa - Elizabeth Banks (Photo not found) Zordon - Bryan Cranston has been cast as Zordon, the creator and leader of the Power Rangers. Alpha 5 - Bill Hader • Other rumors While earlier rumors reported by MoviePilot linked major stars ranging from Liam Neeson to Chloë Grace Moretz to the project, their involvement has yet to be officially confirmed.
