First Look: Power Rangers Movie Suits

FIN02_PR_TT_CENTER

Entertainment Weekly released the first look image of the movie suits for Saban’s Power Rangers releasing next year.

The outfits are visual throwbacks to the franchise’s long-running mythology. “The show was about kids coming of age, about metamorphosis,” director Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) says. “These suits needed to feel like they were catalyzed by these kids and their energy, their spirit.”

The spandex-free makeover also helps set the film apart from other big-screen franchises. “It’s tricky finding a new language for a superhero costume,” production designer Andrew Menzies (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) admits. “Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made. You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.”

Power Rangers Feature Film Release Date Changed!

Last year Saban Brands and Lionsgate announced a tentative date for the Power Rangers feature film of July 22, 2016. When Roberto Orci left as Executive Producer, Ranger Nation began to speculate if the movie would still be released on that date.

Now, Deadline is reporting that the new release date is Martin Luther King Jr. weekend of 2017, January 13th.

Update 12-17-2015: Variety reports the movie’s new release date is March 24th, 2017. Confirmed by the movie’s Instagram account.

This gives recently announced director Dean Israelite some more time to complete the movie.
