We don't know all that much about Lionsgate's upcoming reboot of Saban's Power Rangers but that change come next month. Jason David Frank, Mighty Morphin Power Ranger's Green (and eventual White) ranger took to Twitter to announce an appearance at San Diego Comic Con. The appearance is in association with Lionsgate and claims that there will be "media and a special appearance". Willl the media in question be our first look at the film?



After 10,000 years of imprisonment, the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her loyal minions are freed when astronauts on a routine mission in space accidentally open her dumpster prison on the Moon. Filled with rage, Rita decides to conquer the nearest planet: Earth. But her arch nemesis – the heroic sage Zordon – has been patiently waiting in preparation for this day. With the assistance of his wisecracking robotic sidekick Alpha 5, Zordon recruits a team of five ‘teenagers with attitude’ – Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini - to receive superpowers beyond their wildest dreams and defend the Earth as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Aided by giant robotic vehicles modeled after dinosaurs called Zords, the Power Rangers fight back the evil alien hordes of Rita Repulsa.

Probably not any footage. I'm really trying to get a chance to try out for the role of the Black Ranger. I'm black, in the age range to play a teenager in high school. I've been acting for years and also experienced in martial arts. I need this chance

They hardly have footage already?! I'm cautiously optimistic about a reboot though. And I absolutely love how Jason David Frank still embraces the franchise. So cool to see he has such a passion for it. Can he just be in the reboot?! Maybe he can play Zordon! :P Hopefully the reboot takes some inspiration from the original series anyway. Here's the kind of stuff I'd like to see in it: http://davecsimpson.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/thoughts-and-ideas-about-the-power-rangers-reboot/

Unless they use Gobusters footage for the movie, there's nothing to show for the movie. Gobusters had leather suits like modern American superhero movies instead of the usual Sentai spandex. They're contractually required to adapt every Sentai show, but are skipping Gobusters for the dinosaurs themed Kyoryuger.

I'm hoping the reboot isn't as corny as the show, and has JDF. Speaking of which, did that huge Legendary War thing air yet?

I have met him three times at cons, he is a complete class act. He even took a pix of him and I "fighting" while I am wearing my stormtrooper armor. He donated a bunch of signed pictured to our charity as well.

Is Michael Bay involved in this?

Because I'm gonna be pissed off if I can't bitch, whine and moan about him ruining my childhood again. >:(

This has some serious potential if done right.

Jason David Frank is the shit!!! Period!!! Love him best as White, Green and Black rangers (red never looked as good on him) and he's a badass fighter in real life too!! He better get some role in the reboot!!

Why are people thinking his tweet means that they will show footage? All it means is that he is going to be there. He goes to cons all the time. Stop getting worked up over nothing people

That guy has been like 4 different Raners over the decades. HE IS THE BEST MOTHER[frick]ER TO EVER GRACE THE POWER RANGERS! Long live JDF.

I still think JDF would make a awesome Frank Castle (punisher ) for a tv series or a movie.

My favorite transitioned many times. From Blue Ranger, to Green Ranger, to White Ranger, then Adam's Green Ranger in Zeo, and then when Gold Ranger appeared, he was my favorite of all-time.

Yeah, I've always been a fan of Jason's first but Tommy is always a close second. That said, I don't think any of these guys should be involved if they expect a hit.

If it is a reboot and it has Jason David Frank in it. Then how does it go. Tommy was not part of the original line up he later joined the series.

Reboot show or film?

I called it last year too. Pacific Rim will inspire all sorts of movies of this genre
