The new Power Rangers movie will be ‘character-driven’, Dean Israelite has said.
Helming only his second feature length project following Project Almanac, the director told Empire Magazine that he had grown up with the TV series.
“I grew up on it and I have all the same questions other people have,” he said. “How are we going to update this? How will it exist in the contemporary superhero cinema canon?” The director said that he’s “tried to add naturalism and a grounded nature,” with an emphasis on everything being very much “character-driven”.
Added to the mix are Elizabeth Banks and Bryan Cranston, the latter being hesitant in . “Like everybody, [Cranston] was sceptical,” he said. “But he saw a bunch of footage and got excited for the potential. I think it’ll be a thrill for fans to see what we’re doing with Zordon.”
Power Rangers hits cinema screens in March, 2017.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
