Jason David Frank Slams Power Rangers Fan-Film

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19385:]]

The new Power Rangers fan-film is causing all sorts of uproar.

Not only is Saban Entertainment trying to get it taken down, but now the Green Ranger himself, Jason David Frank, is slamming the serious take on the popular kids’ show.

Frank took to his Facebook page to release a video about his thoughts on “Power/Rangers” where he offered he was approached to be in the film, but decided against it.

“I know there’s a lot of fans out there that love it and all that stuff, but I’m just a PG-13 guy,” Frank said. “The cuss words, the drugs, all this other stuff — it doesn’t fly with me.”

Frank then continues why he isn’t a fan.

 “The problem is that [Power Rangers is] still connected with adult and kids,” he said. “The Super Mega Force and the Power Rangers Dino Force is still on Nickelodeon. You can’t take a brand like this and reboot it so dark and gritty.”

Jason David Frank mentions that Power Rangers is essentially a kids show, and then says he would rather be in the real Power Rangers movie.

Sigourney Weaver & Neill Blomkamp Talk Alien (Video)

Sigourney Weaver stars in Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming Chappie movie where right from the get-go the two started talking about additional Alien movies.

Blomkamp then released concept art, and Fox has greenlit the movie.

Now both Sigourney Weaver and Blomkamp talk about the potential Alien movie above.

Worth a mention is that Blomkomp says he wants the movie to follow Alien and Aliens, with no mention of Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection (which wouldn’t be all that bad).

“I would love to take Ripley out of orbiting around in space and give a proper finish to what was such an excellent story,” Sigourney Weaver said. “So when somebody like Neill Blomkamp suddenly said, ‘Well, I’m interested in finishing the story,” I thought, ‘My little ears perked up.’ 

“I want this film to feel like literally it’s the genetic sibling of Aliens,” Blomkamp added. “So it’s Alien, Aliens, this movie.”

“We started chatting on the set of Chappie almost right away about his love for these movies,” Weaver said with a laugh. “Then he started to send me the artwork over the last year and a lot of story ideas.”

“It’s a Freudian kind of nightmare,” Blomkamp continued. “That element to me is what is so appealing. To try and put the audience at the edge of their seat the whole time in a traditional monster stalking you dark corridor way. I love that. When you mix in all the design elements and the life cycle of the Alien, you know it’s just a power keg of creativity for me.”

“I’m delighted he is interested in doing this,” Weaver said. “I think it’s a great series. It deserves a proper ending. I know the fans would love that. So I hope it works out.”

Power Rangers Fan Film Under Fire From Saban

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19348:]]Power/Rangers Director Joseph Khan with fight coordinator Don Thai Theerathda setting up a fight in the Power/Rangers fan-film

Earlier saw a Power Rangers fan-film released starring Katee Sackhoff and James Van Der Beek.

The video is up on YouTube with over 2.6 million views, but it’s learned that Vimeo has taken it down at the request of Saban, who owns the rights to Power Rangers.

Saban apparently filed a copyright infringement request with Vimeo, with Vimeo telling the director of the fan-film, music video director Joseph Khan, the following: “Vimeo is the host for your videos and as a host for user-generated content we are fully compliant with the notice and takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It looks like your video was removed due to a copyright infringement claim by: Tim Quinlan, SCG Power Rangers LLC.”

Khan took to his Twitter to release a series of tweets asking fans to contact Saban to stop the harassment.

“Saban is trying to shut POWER/RANGERS down,” Khan tweeted. “If you’d like to keep watching, tell them to stop harassing me.”

Khan then directed people to Saban’s customer support page at: sabranbrands.com/contact.

It probably should be noted that Khan’s Power/Rangers fan-film uses no actual Power Rangers material, but contains all original footage.

It’s unclear where the law lies on Khan’s fan-film as if it is considered a parody, then no copyright can be claimed. In addition, Khan is not getting paid, which is usually a factor in copyright claims as well. Possibly the only argument Saban could make is that Khan’s film hurts the Power Rangers brand as it’s better than anything they have put out themselves. Or the obvious opposite argument would be it’s benefiting Saban and the Power Rangers brand as it’s giving them free promotion.

“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.”
