Based on the current casting, the Yellow Ranger should be a latina chick.

Dear God in heaven, that would be splendid

Only problem is, would be kinda hard to give a latina chick an Asian name lol

This **** keeps getting worse. This movie should never see the light of day.

Would Malaysia be a good one? I've seen a couple non-Asian chicks with that name. Would like to see an Asian girl named Asia.

Pretty sure the name would be Trini lol

Maybe a latina chick named Trini would work, now that I think about it

It sounds like they are giving these characters the same names but giving them different personalities. I still think the movie gets worse everyday but I somewhat understand.

everysingletime · Oct 24, 2015

No, it seems like the perosnalities are the same. ej. Zach is still supposed to be cool. Billy is still supposed to be a nerd, etc.

aepps20 · Oct 24, 2015

Similar on basic things like coolness or neediness, but not the same as far as how they go about executing these traits. I doubt Jason is going to be spending hours and hours training for karate tournaments at Ernie's. I hope Zack will still bust out hiphopkido moves though.

This is a "Wait until it hits Netflix" film. :smh:

Not sure how accurate these are as they are saying they aren't using OG names anymore.

Exclusive: ‘Power Rangers’ Title, Budget, and Character Names Revealed

The upcoming big-screen installment of Power Rangers has been cranking out news lately, with four of the five title heroes already cast. Director Dean Israelite‘s film currently stars Naomi Scott as the Pink Ranger, Dacre Montgomery as the Red Ranger, Ludi Lin as the Black Ranger, and RJ Cyler as the Blue Ranger. Other than the current absence of the Yellow Ranger from the cast, you may have noticed two things: the actors who have signed on are all up-and-comers, and their character names haven’t been shared.

With that in mind, I’m happy to bring you a host of exclusive details on the Power Rangers movie, which will now be titled Saban’s Power Rangers. Yes, the retitle comes as series co-creator and business magnate Haim Saban looks to attach his name to the picture when it debuts on January 13, 2017. Saban and his partner Shuki Levy have long been critical parts to the success of the Power Rangers franchise, and as we’ve learned, Saban appears to be just as involved as ever.

n fact, the second bit of our exclusive scoop involves Saban’s work on the script, which is currently being tweaked just as the cast is starting to come together. Israelite is also working on the script along with Saban, but it’s not clear at this time if screenwriters Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz are still involved in the process. We’re also not sure if Levy has any hand in the changes, or if he’ll simply retain a story credit since he was a co-creator of the original series. What we do know, however, is that the character names have changed.

We had previously reported that the cast of the new Power Rangers movie would have the same names as the original television series. This appears to be just one of the changes being made to the script as we now have a new list of character names for the title heroes. They are as follows:

Callum Oliver – The Red Ranger/Tyrannosaurus
Priya Patel – The Pink Ranger/Pterodactyl
Brian Olson – The Blue Ranger/Triceratops
Oscar Fernandez – The Black Ranger/Mastodon
Teyana Jones – The Yellow Ranger/Sabre-tooth Tiger

Obviously, these can change as well, but they seem to make sense with the current cast for the most part. A couple of interesting things here: First is that these names are not the same as the original cast of characters, which suggests that it will be an all-new team and not a reboot in any sense. The second is that each of the characters appears to be matched up with the Zords (ie animal-themed war machines) from the original series. So while the names may have been changed, it looks like the classic Zords will be dusted off for a new batch of heroes to take the reins.

We’re hearing that the original costumes will also make an appearance in the film, but we’re not quite sure when or where. It might be in the big opening scene in which a massive battle between the forces of good and evil is taking place. Or it might be in some sort of flashback in which the old heroes hand off the Morphin’ powers to the new. (How cool would it be to see the original cast come back in cameos to pass the baton?) That would certainly fit into the plot notes we’ve heard about so far.

A final exclusive detail we have for you today is the budget of the film, one which is reported to be in the $35 million range. If that sounds low to you, consider that the cast is composed of relative unknowns who don’t command the same salaries as well-established actors. Also keep in mind that the 2014 hit The Maze Runner had a similar budget, a large cast of young actors, and plenty of jaw-dropping effects; that film went on to net over $340 million worldwide.

While we’re certainly confident in the news provided above, remember that things are still being tweaked on the Power Rangers movie, so some details here or there might change between now and early 2017. All signs point to Saban and Lionsgate making a big Power Rangers push in the years to come, so I fully expect to hear more about this project and others sooner than later.

I guess the Yellow Ranger will be black and the Pink Ranger will be Indian.

Though the Black Ranger being called Oscar Fernandez sounds more hispanic but the dude they cast is Asian. So I guess dude will be more Filipino than of other descent?

I found that most people that didn't like that didn't grow up watching the old ones. I thought it was great besides ol big toe thumbs magee

Fresh Like Will · Oct 29, 2015

^ I feel the opposite. I grew up with TMNT and didn't like the reboot.

jaypesoz · Oct 29, 2015

I caught the movie on bluray and thought it was pretty meh. Not that bad, but there was definitely something that was missing. It's exactly how Bay does Transformers in that it just feels empty to me and is really just a 90-120 min toy commercial with a lot of fancy visuals and eye candy. And I grew up loving the og's, as well as the current Nick cartoon so I'm not biased in any way.

With that said, I'm kinda curious where the sequel goes :lol:

I think the practical effects and the costumes of the original movies looked better than the cgi turtles of the new movies. It was like the second star wars trilogy where they used a lot of cgi and it didn't look good.

dathbgboy · Oct 29, 2015

The new TMNT movie was a lot "lighter" than the original 90's versions. Outside of 3 (which is neck and neck for BTTF III for worst ending to a trilogy) the lightest moments in the first two were Vanilla Ice :lol:
