Lionsgate and Saban Brands have announced that production is underway on Power Rangers, director Dean Israelite’s (Project Almanac) big screen reboot of the long-running franchise, and coinciding with the news comes the first official synopsis:
Saban’s “Power Rangers” follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
