DISCLAIMER FOR DISCLAIMER: I really didn't want to do this but because of some experience doing these things..... I just got to.
DISCLAIMER: This is not real. This will never end up on actual film. This is my personal choices for a Power Rangers film, so be kind and enjoy.
Director
Shawn Levy
This may seem a bit odd to some, but I think it makes sense. Levy has been directing movies for a while now and I really love his style. He knows how to organize chaos and he really knows how to get the most out his actors. The one movie that really surprised me was REAL STEEL. Levy found the right balance of action, comedy, and humanity and the CGI was fantastic.
Composer
Clint Mansell
I would be so happy if this actually happened. Mansell is an outstanding composer whose music can be heard in film such as THE FOUNTAIN, SMOKIN' ACES, BLACK SWAN, and the upcoming biblical epic NOAH. Mansell's use of music to enhance an emotion of a scene is unmatched and I think he would bring an amazing element to a PR film.
ALRIGHT GUYS,KEEP IN MIND I WANT THE RANGERS TO BE AT LEAST IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL.
Jason Scott
Michael Trevino
Great actor, can play a natural leader and I think he would make a wonderful Jason. I'm aware a lot of people on this site get in a gripe whenever someone from the Vampire Diaries is on a cast, but he's actually one of the few actors on the show that keep me tuning in every week.
Zack Taylor
Brandon Mychal Smith
Brandon is the only person from my last PR fan-cast that I kept and that's because I think he would do a great job. He's a real funny guy and he's decent in dramatic roles. In my head I can see Trevino and Smith together and it feels right to me.
Billy Cranston
Ryan Kelly
Those of you who like Ben 10 might remember Kelly from "Alien Swarm", but I know him as the little boy who could read minds on one of the early seasons of "Smallville".He's a good actor and has the appropriate look for Billy, I think he'd do a fine job in the role.
Kimberly Hart
Alexandra Daddorio
I wanted kim to be a girly girl who during the course of a film has to grow up fast and learn how to defend herself and the people of angel grove. I think Alexandra has the perfect mix of beauty and toughness and I think she would make a cool kim.
Trini Kwan
Jessica Lu
This one was hard to find, I needed to find an Asian American girl who was in the right age range and wasn't Jamie Chung, so I chose Lu. One my sister's favorite shows is "Awkward" and she gave me the idea, I think it works.
Tommy Oliver
Colton Haynes
I love this guy, I think he is so badass. The recent new member of "Arrow" has the looks, the charisma and the skills to play the hell out of tommy.
Zordon
Jeffrey Wright
I wanted an actor of a high caliber for Zordon and wright fits the bill. He knocks every role he plays out of the park and he would do the same here.
Alpha 5
Greg Cipes
A well known voice actor from such shows as "Ben 10: Alien Force" and "Teen Titans", I think cipes can create a cool new voice for alpha while still being respectful to the show's version
Lord Zedd
James Purefoy
If anyone's been watching "Following" lately you'll know this guy is an awesome actor and he's scary as hell. He has the presence and the voice to play a really intelligent and really intimidating Lord Zed
Rita Repulsa
Angelica Houston
A legend in the acting world, Houston has the perfect mix of regalness mystery and I think her version of rita would be really cool. A dark evil space queen, hungry for power and revenge.
#ALRIGHT HERE GOES MY IDEA FOR THE 4-PART FILM SERIES.
I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE ACTUAL FULL ON STORIES, AND I IMAGINE I NEVER WILL CAUSE WHOSE GOT THE TIME RIGHT?
ANYWAY, THIS IS JUST AN OUTLINE OF HOW I WOULD DO THE POWER RANGERS. I'VE ALSO INCLUDED MUSIC THAT I THINK GIVES YOU A CLEAR IDEA FOR THE TONE AND DIRECTION OF THE FILMS.
THE POWER RANGERS
I think it would be important to have the first twenty minutes on Eltar, which in my head is a mixture of medieval England and Asgard.
- Film opens with a opening crawl explaining the history of Eltar and the problems it faces such as economic decline and constant terrorist like attacks from Rita Repulsa, an evil witch who will stop at nothing to take over and become the queen like she so much desires. It also explains the suicide mission a few good men took to stop Rita once and for all. Military colonel Zedd and a few of his soldiers attempted to board Rita's ship and take her out. Things don't exactly go as planned and Rita kills everybody except for Zedd who she brain washes into her evil lover. With Zedd switching teams and and the future of Eltar on the line, the head council ( I haven't really come up with a name for the law on Eltar, but you get the point.) decides to recruit the wizard Zordon , who lives a hermit like existence in the woods to stop the travesty that's happening to the planet, and Zordon agrees.
-After the crawl, 2 years later. Eltar has become the battleground for all out war and Zordon being the man that he is has tried to come to a peaceful resolution , but now after fighting for two years and failing he decides that he has no choice but to kill Rita and Zedd.
- After a kick- ass five minute battle including Swords and magic, Zordon manages to fling Zedd in a building of sorts and it explodes, so I guess we'll never hear from him again ;)
- of course Rita doesn't take this well and she cast some spell and sends Zordon to a little planet across the cosmos called Earth, because Zordon is too badass to kill. But before she could fully recite the spell, Zordon cast a spell of his own to entomb her and her cohorts in dumpster like container.
- In an epic sequence, both Zordon and Rita's spells go into effect and rita's container goes flyng into space. Zordon on the other hand gets sent to 1344 Earth in what would later be called California. He discovers his powers don't work the same as it used to. He can cast some spells , but not all and he can't send himself home. Also Zordon is badly injured but for some reason can't heal himself like before. Seeing no other options and using what magic he does have he decides to build himself the command center where he will live in a tube that will keep his life threatening injuries at bay and should keep him alive and the robot Alpha 5 who will be his companion through time and will help alert Zordon if Rita returns.
- Flash forward a few hundred years later, A robot on mars stumbles across Rita's tomb and opens it. After a good long stretch Rita continues to her quest for power and decides to go to the nearest planet with life to rule, Earth.
-At the command center, an alarm sounds signaling rita's return. Having waited hundreds of years expecting this to happen, Zordon tells Alpha to initiate PROJECT: Ranger. Zordon tells alpha to search for five teenagers with attitude in a 100 mile radius that fit the profile for being a ranger. Alpha Says the computer has found six, but Zordon says we only have enough coins for five, and so alpha deletes one of the names and sends for the other five.
- Five minutes earlier, in the city of angel grove are five friends Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kimberly hanging out at the community center when they start to feel weird and then they are suddenly transported to the command center.
- Zordon introduces himself to the kids and begins to explain what is coming and they should be the protectors of the Earth THE POWER RANGERS.
-While Jason and Zack except their roles, the rest of the gang don't take it that well and run out freaked.
IM GONNA SKIP AHEAD A FEW SCENES BECAUSE I REALLY HAVEN'T COME WITH the MIDDLE.
-Rita has unleashed the super puddies and a monster known as Brimstone, a fire breathing lava creature and they start to destroy downtown Angel Grove . The kids decide to head into action except for billy whose still confused and scared. In a circle Jason tells the gang that he's scared too but he's gonna fight because what choice is there."If we fight we could die, but if we do nothing we will die". The gang gives each other a look of understanding and decide to suit up. Jason yells IT'S MORPHIN TIME! and they transform into the power rangers.
- The last thirty minutes of the film is pure action, but it's not emotionless. The action will have the feeling of a full on war movie, sort of a mixture of between SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and TRANSFORMERS
- in the end The Rangers win their battle against the super puddies and brimstone, Rita backs off and swears to return soon.
- The rangers are back at the command center and Zordon tells them the battle was won, but the war is far from over. The rangers accepts their positions as THE POWER RANGERS for the for seeable future.
- The film ends with the gang trying to clean up the city one brick at a time
-After credit scene: In the high school we follow two feet running in a hallway. The person makes it to the classroom, face not shown and says " I'm sorry i'm late" , The teacher replies " it's okay, your right on time. Students I'd like to introduce you to Tommy Oliver." Jason who is sitting in the front seat looks at tommy and says "hey" and Tommy replies "hey"- End scene
POWER RANGERS: THE SIXTH
OKAY, SO WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, THE GREEN RANGER SO LET'S GET TO IT. THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE MUCH DARKER THAN THE FIRST, AND IN MY HEAD I SEE A GREENISH TINT THROUGHOUT THE FILM.
-So the movie picks up five months later, and Angel grove have embraced their new heroes, who have been battling monsters here and there but nothing to the magnitude of the first movie.
- Tommy and kim have been dating for a while and they seem like a happy couple. Tommy has intergrated himself into the gang, but him and Jason have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to martial arts.
- Rita deciding she can't beat the rangers by herself, she decides to make a ranger for herself. she chooses tommy because he's pure of heart and he knows the other rangers personally.
- she makes tommy evil, gives him the green ranger coin and of course chaos ensues.
IN THE MOVIE I WANT TOMMY TO BE STRAIGHT UP SCARY. BECAUSE HE'S HUMAN AND A FRIEND TO THE OTHER RANGERS, IT'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT MORE PERSONAL. TOMMY CAN JUST WALK INTO JASON'S HOUSE AND HAVE DINNER WITH HIS FOLKS AND JASON CAN'T DO CRAP OR ELSE IT WOULD RAISE SUSPICION. THAT'S THE KIND OF MOVIE I WANT TO SEE.
- So eventually after frequent back and forth threats between evil green and the rangers, they discover that it's tommy and decide to try and save him, which is easier said than done.
- In the climactic final battle in a warehouse somewhere, the fight is on. In a different fashion than the first movies end fight, this one is much more martial arts based and far more brutal. It's tommy v.s the rangers and he's kicking their ass. It's not until kim talks to him , reminding him of the good person that he is, that tommy realizes who he is and releases the the evil from his heart.
- Back at the command center, Zordon and the gang convinces tommy to join the team and uses his new found power for good, he agrees and the film goes to black.
- After credit scene: We see a sea of stars and then a ship . as we get a good 360 shot of our surrounding , we hear in a raspy voice " well rita has been busy. trying to defeat Zordon's little brats with brawn and no brains. well, 'It's a good thing she has me." We suddenly see a bloody hand with no skin holding a silver stick, the camera pans up revealing a giant Z.
THE POWER RANGERS:
COUNTDOWN TO DESTRUCTION PART I
- The film opens on a sideways close-up of Tommy's face as he lying on the ground with dirt and debris on him. We follow his face as he gets up and we see his clothes are partially burned. We get a real great look at his face as he looks out into the distance and he looks distraught, we then hear tommy say " oh my god".
- The movie goes back one week earlier, where it has been a year since the events of the second movie.
- Tommy has since received the more reliable power of the white ranger and is the unofficial second in command of the team.
- Zordon and the team haven't seen rita in a while, which concerns Zordon, but not the team as they as they see it as a blessing. Graduation is in 3 days and the gang are exited to start the next chapter in their lives.
- meanwhile on rita's ship we discover Lord Zedd and Rita are back together and have been conspiring for months.
- as the gang get ready for the big day, they get the signal to arrive at the command center. when they arrive zordon tells them about an aircraft that has landed in china. The rangers suit up and go to china to discover atleat one hundred puddies and at least a dozen monsters are running loose on the streets. Halfway through kicking puddie ass, zordon informs the rangers that the same occurrence has taken place in New York. Billy, Tommy and Kim go to New York to fix that problem.
- What the rangers don't Realize is that this is all a big distraction. Zedd and Rita has constructed these invasions to keep the rangers away while Zedd goes to the command center to take Zordon.
- Almost right after the situations in china in new York are settled, the rangers hear an unfamiliar voice over the frequency zordon reaches them on. It's Zedd who says "Hello rangers, I'm Lord Zedd. I am not sure if your mighty mentor has mentioned me , but we go waaaaay back. All those years ago me and Zordon did battle and it was glorious. But the time for hate is over, so I've decide to mend fence with our dear friend. In fact ,right now me and him are closer than ever". The rangers race to the command center, but it's too late. Zordon is gone and Alpha's internal system is nearly ruined.
- While the rangers try to wrap their heads around what's happening, Zack and tommy come up with a plan to get Zordon back, which is really no plan, just to get him back. Jason tells them they have to slow down and think for a second. They have a new enemy they know nothing about with power they can't match.
- When Billy fixes Alpha, he explains to the rangers who Zedd is, what he's done and how dangerous he is. For lack of a better word, the rangers are screwed at this point.
- All of a sudden a breaking news report comes on the T.V . A snake like ship has nested itself in the heart of Angel Grove. Lord Zedd can be heard speaking to the viewing audience. " I am your lord. I am Zedd. If you do what I ask you will not be hurt. You will be rewarded with your loyalty and I will allow you to go about your lives. But make no mistake, if you deny me. If you fail to follow me, you will die, and it won't be quick. oh no, not quick at all."
- It is then that Kim starts to hear a beeping sound. The sound is getting faster and faster. Zack sees a red light omitting from Alpha's Stomach. Jason yells RUUUUUUUN! And as they run to the door the bomb goes off. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
- Back to the beginning we are. Tommy gets up for the rubble and looks out toward the city. All he sees is fire.
POWER RANGERS:
COUNTDOWN TO DESTRUCTION PART II
- Angel grove, Three weeks Later. The city is in shambles. Most of the people in the city are living under Zedd's rule, with no question. But a fraction have rebelled and those that have been found were killed and made examples of.
- Meanwhile the Rangers have been trying to pick up the pieces from the explosion. The command center is destroyed, the morphers are badly damaged and sadly Zack is dead. Out of everyone Jason is taken it the worst. Him and Zack grew up together, they were like brothers,
- The rangers want to go back to the city to help the people and take the city back, but Jason orders them not to. He says it's too risky. Jason and Tommy go at it. Tommy thinks Jason is a coward and is afraid. Jason thinks tommy is a hothead and impatient. The truth is Jason has lost hope, and the gang knows it. They decide to go to the city with tommy and fight for freedom , Jason stays behind.
- We later find out that Zedd and Rita are slowly draining Zordon's power so he can be killed.
- When the rangers reach the city, it's like a third world country and they try to help as many people as possible, but the real objective is to save Zordon ,but the ship that he is on SERPENTERA is about a mile long and is guarded at every entrance.
SKIP,SKIP,SKIP,SKIP. I'M SORRY. I JUST CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING FOR THE MIDDLE.
-Something happens and Jason finds hope again and decides to go to the city and kick some ass.
- The rangers find Jason in the chaos of the city and decide It's now or never. The morphers are pretty banged up and who knows if they'll be able to morph again after this, so here we go , IT'S MORPHIN' TIME.
- The plan is that the gang distracts Rita, Zedd, and his army while Jason and billy go get Zordon.
- So now we got three things going down. Kim, and trini are taking down puddies and monster and stuff. Tommy and Lord Zedd are doin' battle matrix style. And Jason and billy are trying to save Zordon.
- Jason and billy make it to zordon when they see they're civilians on board. Jason tells billy to get them out and take care of Zordon. As billy leaves, Zordon tells Jason too much energy has been taken for him to survive anyway, so he wants him to break the tube and release his good energy. It should be able to destroy any evil within a galaxy's reach. Jason say's no , there must be another way, Zordon says this is the only way. But he warns Jason, the immense impact of being too close to the power source can be fatal, Jason understands.
- As billy escorts the civilians out of the ship, the last of his morphing power fades and his power is gone.
- Tommy and Zedd are still fighting, and Zedd is about to win when out of nowhere a blue electrical like burst comes out of the ship and covers what seems to be the world.
- Zedd, Rita, The Puddies, and the monsters all turn to dust.
- The morphers are all fixed, and the city is back to normal, good as new.
- The rangers go to check on Jason and Zordon and What they see is unexpected. All that's left is a broken energy tube and two mounds of dust. The rangers mourn for their three fallen friends.
- The movie ends with shots of the world, people getting back to normal , people praising the POWER RANGERS. In a voice over tommy says" We have lost many friends, family. Zach was taken from us too soon, Jason and Zordon gave their lives to save the world, and trini, well no one can blame her for moving on. And while the energy from Zordons tube was supposed to wipe out all evil, we really don't know how far it reached. So that's why want you. When the aliens took over, and the city was nearly toast, you three stood up to do what was right."
- We then see tommy, kim, and billy, standing in a warehouse wearing the leather jacket of their color. Tommy: Aisha, Rocky, Adam ........ ARE YOU READY?
THE END
