This gory and gruesome (and NSFW) 14-minute film from producer Adi Shankar (A Walk Among the Tombstones) and music-video director Joseph Khan, tackles what it would look like if Zordon really did recruit 5 (6) teens with attitudes to defend the earth from invaders. The battle sequences reflect the grittiness of war, and it’s clear from the outset that there is no true happy ending here.
“I just wanted to make Power Rangers good for once,” Kahn told Deadline. “It’s kind of a silly franchise. It was an experiment in tone; it was a challenge. I took the silliest property I could think of and tried to see if I could make it serious enough.” |
