I think its funny this happened. Saban sold it to Disney, who then turns around and sells it back. I think this is a good thing though. Disney really just didn't care anymore.
I just wonder how this new show will work. Its already been said it will be a new theme and everything, not a reboot. But what I wonder is if Saban will throw in some "Super Legends" elements? Will we possibly see old rangers? Also, how will they deal with the cluster**** to continuity that RPM was?
Still, looking forward to it. DrGreenEvil

And wouldn't they just adapt Shinkenger or more likely Goseiger?

Looks like we're getting Shinkenger. The casting sheet:

So does this mean that the Power Rangers will be played by actors who look like actual teens?
You know I actually haven't watched PR since Time Force ended so I can't make to many comments on it. So I am going to pull a twistedlaugh here and ask another question; What about you? When did you stop watching Power Rangers? Or did you watch it until Disney pulled the plug?
BTW: Thanks for the find All-Star.

Samurai Power Rangers? Interested to see how they are going to pull this one off.
Thanks for the find! Part of me wishes that it can be connected to Ninja Storm and bring Cam back as their teacher, but I don't see it happening now.

I started watching around Wild Force, and then I caught MMPR and other past seasons on reruns. I stopped watching after Dino Thunder ended. I havn't watched Power Rangers since.

Give me a break! I only think it's racist when they keep hiring Caucasian actors to play the red ranger. Take Power Rangers in Space to Power Rangers Wild Force for example.

It's not racist, they just picked the best people they thought were right. Besides, we got black Red Rangers in Turbo, SPD, and RPM, Shane from Ninja Storm was Samoan, and Nick from Mystic Force was Arab. I don't know why they're going specifically for a white Red Ranger for the new series, but like I said before, it must be storywise. Though I'll have to say that since they're basing off Shinkenger, which is heavily Japanese influenced, they probably could've gone with an Asian. Besides, the Rangers are back with Saban, I'm sure everything will be fine.

[shadow=red,left,300]I agree with some of the things that racebending.com posts, mostly regarding The Last Airbender. Other then that there other articles are kinda pointless. I agree with All-star, it could be just a part of the story and we should hold our judgment until the new season actually airs![/shadow]

The season order has been expanded from 20 episodes to 40! ;D Saban definitely knows how to treat the Rangers, and Shinkenger's now gonna get a good adaptation.

Pink Ranger looks hot! Thanks All-Star, but where did you find this info? I may have sounded a little too confident in my post. Take this with a grain of salt. This is just a rumor at the moment and someone at CBR posted it. I got the names from there and Google'd the images.

[shadow=red,left,300]I've heard several rumors regarding the casting for Power Rangers. I also read somewhere that their not even finished the casting processes yet!
But thanks anyway All-Star. This would make a very interesting and diverse cast. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them is correct though.[/shadow]

[shadow=red,left,300]I think it's safe to say that that this rumored cast is officially debunked. To prove it, here are some new casting sides.[/shadow] [RED RANGER - REESE] STILL SEEKING: Any ethnicity, male, 18 ¨C 23 to play 17-19 years. Reese is an attractive young man with super hero looks and a slim athletic build, approx 5'10". Natural leader, reserved quiet and mysterious. Martial arts a plus.
[EVIL MALE- JUZO] Any Ethnicity, Male, 18-30. He was once a skilled Samurai Warrior, who fell ill and sold his soul to the underworld in exchange for eternal life. Juzo has no master, no followers. His sole mission is to find and fight a worthy opponent. His evilness is far greater than the darkest of souls ever known.MARTIAL ARTS OR FENCING ABILITIES A BIG PLUS [shadow=red,left,300]Also, here is an interview with Elie Dekel, Managing Director of Saban Brands. [/shadow] www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB5fwgxYL0Q&feature=player_embedded#!

Nice find Jack! But I am undecided about this news. On one hand, I am glad this isn't the official cast because (no offence) but the guys have more of a useless thug look to them. But on the other hand the girls look mighty damn fine!

At least this will get the complainers to shut up now. The villain sounds interesting.

I agree with doppelganger, the girls in that rumored cast look perfect! That pink ranger especially kinda looks like the American version of Mako. (If that makes any sense) But the guys just don't look the part.
BTW: It's racebending.com. They will never shut up! Don't get me wrong, as someone else said before me; I agree with some of there stuff, but not all off it!

[shadow=red,left,300]Here's a few production updates I found when surfing the web. Apparantly Saban is on there last week of casting so we should have few confirmed names by at least August. I also have two more sides: [/shadow] Skinny Mack, 18 -23 year old all ethnicity male. He has a slim, lanky build with great comedic abilities. He is someone that you look at and he makes you laugh. Skinny Mack and his sidekick, Big Jack work as street cleaners and have an entertaining way of picking up trash alongside the streets by dancing their way through the streets with broom in hand. They are the comedic relief and the fun side of each story. They are constantly getting themselves in difficult but comedic situations. These two characters are similar to Laurel and Hardy or Bulk and Skull, both with over the top slap stick skills. Dance, street dancing or hip hop abilities are a big plus. Big Jack, 18 -23 year old all ethnicity male. He is on the heavier side with great comedic abilities. He is also some who you look at and he can make you laugh.

Hope this helps.[/shadow]
