Your kids’ (or your) childhood heroes are coming back. Again.
We all remember the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers heck, you were probably dressed as one for Halloween at one point or another.
Power Rangers started out as an early 90s TV series where a group of high school kids transformed into crime-fighting superheros.
The show was so popular that it was turned into two films, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie in 1995 and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie in 1997.
Now, Lionsgate and Saban Brands have announced they are bringing the Rangers back to the big screen for a new and improved live-action movie. The press release says the premise of the film will be ultimately the same:
“The new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.”
This seems to be the year of remakes, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action flick releasing soon, the Godzilla remake this summer and Maleficent coming later this month, starring Angelina Jolie.
Our childhood favorites are making a comeback, people. Enjoy it!
