Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Jonathan Entwistle will be overseeing the latest revamp of the Power Rangers for Hasbro’s eOne.

A Power Rangers “universe” will be created across various media platforms.

“Jonathan has an incredible creative vision for this iconic and hugely successful franchise, and is hands down the right architect to join us as we reimagine the television and film worlds of this property,” eOne’s film president Nick Meyer and global television president Michael Lombardo said in a joint statement. “Across our slate, we are looking forward to working with the most talented storytellers as we take on Hasbro’s rich fan-favourite brands and build entertainment universes around them.”

“This is an unbelievable opportunity to deliver new Power Rangers to both new and existing generations of awaiting and adoring fans. We’ll bring the spirit of analogue into the future, harnessing the action and storytelling that made this brand a success,” said Entwistle.

The new series is likely to ignore the most recent movie incarnation, which gave the original concept a harder edge.
