'Power Rangers' Movie Update: Five New TV Spot Trailers Released Ahead of March Premiere [VIDEO]
Ahead of its scheduled March premiere, Lions Gate Films and Saban have now released a number of new TV spots for their upcoming superhero film, "Power Rangers." The five new video trailers are all aimed at increasing the hype for the upcoming new "Power Rangers" movie installment, while also giving fans their first glimpse at the new Rangers along with their newly redesigned Zords.
According to Comic Book Movie, the brand new trailers features different new footage that has never been seen before by fans. A couple of the trailers also gives fans their first looks at Zordon, played by Bryan Cranston, who will essentially be the mentor of the new Power Rangers. Along with Zordon, several scenes also focuses on Elizabeth's Banks' Rita Repulsa and her minions.
Speaking of which, the trailers are giving fans their first ever look at Goldar, one of Rita Repulsa's original minions. However, unlike the Goldar that was featured in the 90s hit television series, the new Goldar featured in the trailers is much less comedic and more sinister. Similarly, the upcoming movie itself has a more serious approach and tone as compared to the previous movies and television shows in the "Power Rangers" movie franchise.
Despite the difference in tone, the upcoming "Power Rangers" movie will still follow the same basic story and characters of the original television series. However, producers have described it to be a re-imagining of the franchise that will bring it to the 21st Century.
Additionally, a report from Den of Geek has revealed that the upcoming movie will also differ from its predecessors in terms of its overall length. The upcoming "Power Rangers" movie will reportedly be 124 minutes long, which is quite a stretch when compared to the last 99-minute long movie, "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie," released back in 1997.
Aside from Cranston and Banks, the upcoming "Power Rangers" movie will star an all-new set of cast members in the form of Dacre Montgomery as Jason, RJ Cyler as Billy, Becky G as Trini, Naomi Scott as Kimberly and Ludi Lin as Zack. The "Power Rangers" movie is scheduled to hit theaters on March 24.
