If you’re itching for more details on the upcoming Power Rangers movie then you’re going to have put up with these scraps. Some information for the film’s synopsis has been confirmed in a press release.
In the release, there’s the basic synopsis and confirmation of cast members:
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 film stars Dacre Montgomery (A Few Less Men) as Jason the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Becky G (Empire) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger, and Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games franchise) as Rita Repulsa.
They’re not exactly giving us a whole lot to work with here but that’s only fair. Production on the movie kicked off today with a timeframe of about three months until completion of production.
Don’t expect to see it in cinemas this year though, originally pegged for a January 2017 release, the film has already been pushed back to March 2017. We’ve a long wait yet!
Editor-in-Chief, part-time super villain and hoarder of cats. If you can’t find me writing, I’m probably in the kitchen!
