The Power Rangers were essentially superheroes before superheroes became a dominant force in film and television. ExceptPower Rangerstakes it a step further by adding dinosaurs, aliens, and robots into the equation. Basically, there’s a whole lot of opportunity for awesomeness in the franchise – even without the benefit of nostalgic appeal – and fortunately the folks behind the newPower Rangersmovie seem to get that. I just hope they don’t get caught up in being too clever about it.
Lionsgate has released two new TV Spots for the upcoming film adaptation fromProject AlmanachelmerDean Israelite, and each one showcases a somewhat different tonal approach to the material. The first one, titled “Power”, I’m super into. It showcases all the super-powered action, villainy and that “Holy Shit, I’m a teenage superhero” sense of wonder. However, the second one, titled “Go Go”, is a bit more of focused on the meta humor that could give this whole thing a buzzkilling too-cool-for-school vibe. That said, we’ve seen pretty much all of this in the last trailer already, so it’s really a matter of how these things are cut together. The casting ofBryan Cranstonas Zordon,Elizabeth Banksas Rita Repulsa, andBill Haderas Alpha 5 are all pretty inspired choices, so I’m optimistically intrigued to see what comes out of this reboot.
