After initially being set to develop a new big-screen adaptation of Power Rangers at Paramount Pictures, Jonathan Entwistle (It’s the End of the F—ing World) has been tapped again to engineer new film and TV iterations of the Hasbro-owned franchise for eOne, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“This is an unbelievable opportunity to deliver new Power Rangers to both new and existing generations of awaiting and adoring fans,” Entwistle said in a statement.
“We’ll bring the spirit of analog into the future, harnessing the action and storytelling that made this brand a success.”
