Bringing a whole new cast into the world of the Rangers, the movie reboot is aiming to have appeal beyond even the built-in fan base for the long-running franchise (which turns twenty-four this year).
Written by John Gatins, Saban’s Power Rangers is already making waves following its debut earlier this week, matching Kong: Skull Island with its Thursday opening and looking set to rake in more than $40 million across the weekend.
Dean Israelite is the director behind the reboot, tasked with making five new faces some of the biggest superheroes on the planet, in addition to giving them a sense of purpose and making them relatable characters for those watching.
