After weeks of teaser images and subtle hints, a group of former Power Rangers actors have revealed their own tokusatsu film project.
This Friday was to be the day we learned more about a long hyped project, fronted by Power Rangers hero Jason David Frank and, as promised, the full details have now been revealed.
Produced by Bat in the Sun, the studio that brought us Super Power Beat Down, Legend of the White Dragon is an original tokusatsu film that will be funded through the support of backers on the popular crowdfunding website, Kickstarter.
The trailer for the film, shown below, features a dystopian landscape in which Frank is being pursued by a team of armoured soldiers. After a short skirmish, Frank is confronted by the familiar faces of Johnny Yong Bosch, Jason Faunt and Ciara Hanna who hand him a white crystal, transforming him into the White Dragon.
As well as the trailer, the following description of of the movie’s plot was revealed:
In the Aftermath, the city was left decimated. A past reminder of the great battle and fall of heroes. As a result of the death and destruction the city became known as Angel Graves. The heroes were blamed, stripped of their titles and hunted. But as evil once again threatens to return they must rise from the ashes with the power of the White Dragon.
The full cast of the film consists of Power Rangers alumni from various seasons of the generational franchise: Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver, Mighty Morphin’ Green/White Ranger, Zeo Red, Turbo Red, Dino Thunder Black, Lord Drakkon), Johnny Yong Bosch (Mighty Morphin’ Black Ranger, Zeo Green, Turbo Green), Jason Faunt (Time Force Red), Ciara Hanna (Megaforce/Super Megaforce Yellow), Yoshi Sudarso (Dino Charge Blue, Hyperforce Silver), Chrysti Ane (Ninja Steel Pink), and Jenna Frank (daughter of JDF).
Pledges start at $25 USD, which will secure you a high-definition download of the film as well as access to the original score for the movie. Further incentives are available for more generous donations, such as digital posters, scripts, signed photos and the ability to attend the premiere of the movie in August 2020. Full details are available on the Kickstarter page, here.
