While the various attempts to breathe new life into the Power Rangers haven't resulted in much more than a single movie and a lot of promises, that isn't stopping Hasbro and eOne from making a new stab. The toy company has It's The End Of The F---ing World and I Am Not Okay With This creator Jonathan Entwistle spearheading a drive for new movies and TV series.
Yes, despite the patchy history of the franchise, especially on the big screen, Hasbro is looking to develop a multi-platform future for the teens who become colour-coded superheroes battling extraterrestrial nasties. "This is an unbelievable opportunity to deliver new Power Rangers to both new and existing generations of awaiting and adoring fans. We’ll bring the spirit of analog into the future, harnessing the action and storytelling that made this brand a success," Entwistle tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"Jonathan has an incredible creative vision for this iconic and hugely successful franchise, and is hands down the right architect to join us as we reimagine the television and film worlds of this property,” add eOne’s film president Nick Meyer and global television president Michael Lombardo. We'll see if this one is go-go or no-go.
