Saban has released a new teaser trailer for its film, “power rangers.” The studio confirms that the movie is coming to theaters next month on Digital HD and Blu-ray formats. The original version of “Power Rangers” grossed over $200 million worldwide. The film is still due to release in the major markets of Japan, China, and India so the figure may rise pretty decently.
The trailer gives glimpses at the main characters of the film, including Jason (Dacre Montgomery), Kimberly (Naomi Scott), Billy (RJ Cyler), Trini (Becky G), and Zack (Ludi Lin).
It ends up with the cameo appearances of Amy Johnson and Jason David.
‘Power Rangers’ – the film
Saban has confirmed that the movie will swing into theaters in Blu-ray and 4K Ultra-HD on June 27, 2017, followed by a Digital HD release on July 13. It is a superhero film by Dean Israelite. The story is inspired by a novel of the same name by John Gatins. It is the third installment in the “Power Rangers” series, and a reboot of the popular television show of the same name.
The story revolves around a group of warriors, Crystal, Rita, Ranger, and Zordon, who performs a meteor strike to kill the dinosaurs. In May 2014, Saban Capital Group joined hands with Lionsgate for the film, with Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller serving as screenplay writers.
Earlier this month, Israelite told TheWrap that two “Power Rangers” sequels would be developed, but he did not confirm their release dates.
