Too bad that article isn't legit. I actually think Chloe Grace Moretz would be a decent choice for the Pink Ranger. Michael B. Jordan would be cool as a ranger too.

Here's a short (and very well done) film I just ran across. Very nice effects. And it has the Van Der Beek.

That is pretty awesome. I like the approach to it. I guess I'm missing it...buy who was The Beek supposed to be?

Y,know, if you guys want to see some excellent Power Rangers action, the new season, Power Rangers Dino Charge, is currently running on Nickelodeon on Saturdays at 12 Noon (EST). Ep. #4 is airing this Saturday. It's based on the 2013 Japanese sentai series, "Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger," which is very good also.

Is that Katee Sackhoff in there? Damn. Nice casting.
Interesting that put in that Billy Cranston bit about his sexuality. Yellow Ranger's funeral.

In addition to Van Der Beek, this film stars Katee Sackhoff (rhymes with...) and features Will Yun Lee, who I last saw in THE WOLVERINE.
And it's got Carla Perez, who doubled as Rita Repulsa in later MMPR seasons after they ran out of Japanese footage of the character as originated by the great Machiko Soga.
Heavy on the KILL BILL VOL. 1 influence in the bride scene, no?
The end credits take about a quarter of the film's running time.
This short film is not listed on IMDB, though.
Questions:
Does Saban know about this film? And its use of Saban trademarked characters/names/costumes? And, more importantly, the music?
Is the director, Joseph Kahn, the same guy who directed TORQUE?

Re: Lionsgate / Saban To Reboot Power Rangers As Movie Franchise
He was supposed to be Rocky, the Red Ranger after the original left. Just watched this and while it was shot interesting and was pretty cool, I'm just not feeling it. Unlike the similar one that was done for Mortal Kombat where you say "OK, I could sort of see this working" this was just too far out there for Power Rangers.

Re: Lionsgate / Saban To Reboot Power Rangers As Movie Franchise
I grew up with the Rangers to a point. Quitting a bit after they ran out the (first?) Ninja phase. So to me... the PR were always mediocre and I only stayed for so long cuz of the robot fighting. So looking at what I have looked at over... I don't see what "good" really is for the PR outside of what they are. It has a cool world and the whatnot but I've never seen great writing or action. Saying that... the world could be handled well and giving some type of depth or amount of grit to where shit is actually felt over having to handle melodrama to an nth degree would be good.

That having been said, I didn't know Dino Charge was already on, my daughter can't wait.

Its disheartening that this is an admitted spoof and so many people are saying "I'm in!" and that they like the approach.
Kahn is a noted Nolan hater (not that I'm stoked about falling on the same side as the guy who directed "Torque") so it doesn't surprise me that he'd make fun of gritty reboots.
In any case, I can't watch this until after work but I can't imagine its more hilarious than that Mortal Kombat webseries.

But this was so out of left field that it could definitely work as a DTV release.
My only disappointment was the fight the Black Ranger had with all of Will Yun Lee's henchmen. It was slow and plodding.
