‘Power Rangers’ Reboot in the Works at Paramount with ‘The End of the F***ing World’ Creator
Paramount Pictures is in early negotiations with Jonathan Entwistle, who is best known for his Netflix series “The End of the F***ing World”, to develop a new take on “Power Rangers” for the studio.
The was a popular ’90s TV series involved a group of kids who become superheroes. The show first aired on Fox Kids, then in the 2000s on Disney-owned channels and included a movie in 1995.
Lionsgate produced and released a feature in 2017 that rebooted the title, making it less kid-friendly and giving it a more brooding YA edge. The hope was that the film would become a fresh new franchise for Lionsgate but when it bombed, grossing only $142 million worldwide on a budget of around $100 million, plans were scrapped for a sequel and the rights were taken back on the market.
Paramount recently acquired the rights and tapped Patrick Burleigh, who wrote the upcoming “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway,” to pen the script.
Hasbro, which bought the property from creator Haim Saban in 2018, is producing the feature via its film arm, Allspark Pictures.
I actually quite enjoyed the 2017 Power Rangers movie, it was different sure, but still enjoyable. Shame it bombed :\ We should get the Bootleg Universe version from Adi Shankar instead
The first two, yes, the reboot? Fuck no Welllll.. when I say "the first two" I mean the ones that started in 2005, not the god awful hideous mess from the 90s
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
