New POWER RANGERS Movie Shooting This Year
While conducting an interview with comicbook.com, Jason David Frank (more affectionately known as the Green Ranger), covered a number of topics. He talked about his web series My Morphing Life, his interactions with his fans via social media, oh, and like it was nothing at all, that the much-discussed Power Rangers movie is going to be filmed this year!
Frank does a lot of self-promotion in this piece, but it does seem like he has his finger on the pulse of the next Power Rangers flick. This is what he had to say when asked about it:
"The movie is definitely set for this year. Everything is in place. They won't give me specific details because it's all like hush-hush. Even me, I try. I email Saban and ask them kind of what you're asking me, but they do feel that I'm going to be part of it, because they feel there's no movie, at least, without me. The funny thing is, one way or another, whether it happens or it doesn't, I've been great to Lionsgate and I've been loyal to Saban. It's not like they owe me, but if I want to ask for a personal favor, I've invested into their emotional bank account. I feel like it's fair to have that withdrawal with them, because I've done nothing but support them for the last 10 years, 20 years in fact.
"So when that happens, I don't need to cash in any favors. I believe it's going to happen anyway, but when it does, I'll keep my fans involved, but I will tell you it is being filmed this year.
"I know that for a fact. It's going to be great when it is."
For the fans of the original show, this is great news - and it makes sense, considering the film has been given a release date of July 22nd, 2016. Because I am a movie junkie, I will more than likely go see this when it is released. You know...for my kids to enjoy.
