The Power Rangers reboot/thing has officially found its creative team.
The upcoming film based on the spandex loving crime fighters is currently being developed by Lionsgate and rights holder Saban. The film will be scripted by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz who both previous worked on X-Men: First Class.
The new movie promises to completely re-envision the Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.
Haim Saban, who created the franchise, will produce Power Rangers with Saban Brands’ head of development and production Brian Casentini. Also producing is Allison Shearmur, who oversaw The Hunger Games when she was Lionsgate’s president of production and recently produced Disney’s Cinderella.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erik Feig and executive vp of production & development Jim Miller are overseeing Rangers.
