Big news for Power Rangers fan as the big screen reboot has a writer in place and is ready to go-go.
eOne and Hasbro have hired Bryan Edward Hill to write to writer director Jonathan Entwistle’s movie. On top of that, Entwistle will also oversee a new Power Rangers TV series to tie into the movie based on the 1993 Saban TV series.
Hill has worked on several comics, tv shows and movies over the last few years including Black, Revenge of Magic, Phantom and The Russian Specialist.
So far there’s confirmation on if the is a full reboot or will carry on from the 2017 movie, but the safe money is on this being a full reboot.
The big question is, under Hasbro, will it tie into the new Transformers and GI Joe franchises (more here)…
Are you excited to see what Hasbro does with the Power Rangers or do you wish the whole idea would die quietly in the corner? Let me know your thoughts…

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….
