Not gonna happen. We're going to ride this nostalgia train until it breaks down and blows up. Then we'll switch to the imagination train.

still am real interested how saban will spin toq into another MMPR fanwank.
bet they will just skip the season.
They never use spandex for the first MMPR movie either. In fact Toei/Sentai should learn from the first movie to use PVC suits instead of spandex.
Hell I don't mind they reuse these PVC suits again.
There's more than a few actors that don't mind being associated with the show. I know JYB and the actress that played Aisha has no problems with attending conventions and interacting with fans.
New Cast and Characters base it on the original.

Power Rangers is one of those kids shows that I was juuuust about too old to watch when it first came out.
That being said, if they were able to make an actual film out of the concept, and have it not just be some kiddy crap mean just for little kids(like the original Power Rangers movie was), I'd be down for it.

I would be so down for it if it was. It doesn't have to be Power Rangers, but I'd love it if someone in the West tried to make a super serious gritty super sentai movie.
That said, a Power Rangers reboot shouldn't be Nolan-serious. But it could definitely be cheesed down a bunch and still be fun. Like a Marvel movie level of tone would be perfect.
I was just thinking about this the other day. I accidentally stumbled upon this fan film and thought it was real then got sad that no one seemed to care enough to reboot the franchise for real.
Coming from someone who hates most things Michael Bay, I have to say that this reboot would be perfect for him. There's no story whatsoever to screw up. Just hot teenagers fighting aliens in giant robots.

Considering that the PVC suits couldn't last longer than a couple of scenes at best (and that was when they filmed that movie), Those suits probably won't make the journey from the warehouse to the studios.
They would be better off either going the Go-Busters route and use a leather version of the MMPR suits, or having Toei make the suits themselves, whether they would be Metal Heroes/Heisei Kamen Rider-esque or something closer to the Kikaider reboot.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Nolanesque? That would miss the super sentai point so hard

Go-Busters son. All leather:
Yeah, the entire series is about color, action and crazy and funny concepts; going Nolan would ruin that.

I've always wanted to like Power Rangers, but the budget of this show is laughably bad. Like its on purpose its this way.

Del toro esque is a better ground to stand on. That and you know it would be filled with sentai references
Just put this song into movie, and all will be well.

I wonder if Toei will have a hand in the movie's production.

i mentioned this in the OT before, but this is the perfect change to finally make the rangers and toys to line up better.
whos playing red?

I love it when properties from my childhood are revistited, especialy when they're stylistically very far apart from the original.
Gatchaman next, please!

I like that he's embraced all the green ranger stuff but looking over his Instagram is kind of pathetic. Dude is asking people to PayPal him $50 for a piece of green ranger spandex, $50 for autographs, $25 for green ranger beanies and shit...
Saw this there though, very awesome:
Someone needs to give justice to Kamen Rider
Though, after the last attempt financially bombed... I can see why they don't.

bad gameplay lol

That's guaranteed. Power Rangers is as much Toei's IP as it is Saban Brands. They'll be making money off the movie too, of course they'd want some input.
They co-own PR. It couldn't be made without them.
If they weren't unusually muscular teenagers, but 40 year old roid heads? I'm not sure that's better...
Huh, I had thought that this got cancelled. I meant that I want to see a Western take on it, but I'll definitely watch this too.
He would be beyond perfect. Heck, this could almost be the Community movie
Red - Jeff
Blue - Abed
Black - Troy
Pink - Annie
Yellow - Brita
Alpha 5 - Shirley
Zordon - The Dean

I want this to be good more than is reasonable.

That's what I mean. Nolan-serious would be too serious. Or at the very least, too grounded.

lulz. So much this, but not really bitter. Would deff see it for nostalgic reasons if based off of MMPR
I want Genndy Tartakovsky doing the action, maybe Del Toro directing. Genndy is fantastic with action and has Sentai cred with Dexters Lab and SymnBionic Titan; and did great live action fights for the ending to Iron Man 2. And Del Toro did Pacific Rim and is an expert in Sentai-like monsters with Pan's Labyrinth.

They should go the S.P.D. route. Like a police force of some kind.
SPD emergency <.<
Shame Imagi Studios went under before they could finish their Gatchaman project. Granted, TMNT and Astro Boy weren't great, but I was still interested to see how it turned out.

Del Toro would be the perfect director for this movie.
I've actually had an idea for a Power Rangers reboot in my head for a while...
It would start with MMPR, but instead of calling them "Mighty Morphin", they'll be "Dino Warriors" or something. Because it'd establish early that they're NOT the first Power Rangers, and we'd get even get appearances from the last team, the Flight Force (Jetman). They would be tasked with fighting Rita's monsters and all that, fighting the Green Ranger, and eventually defeating Rita and her son (this was actually the original plan before the show got popular).
Afterwards, the very first Red Ranger (from Goranger, new name still TBD) will congratulate them and give them new assignments around the world. Hence they'll be out of the way for the next team, the Star Force (Dairanger)

I was so disappointed to find out he was a homophobic dick. I'm glad he apologized to David Yost for his behavior but still...
