POWER RANGERS may have been one of your lesser-loved childhood favourites, certainly compared with TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES or the lovingly animated Marvel series, but twinges of excitement (and cynicism) were felt when a big-budget film re-imagining the show was announced, courtesy of Lionsgate.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that X-MEN FIRST CLASS scribes Ashley Millar and Zach Stentz have signed up to pen the script working alongside Roberto Orci, one of the screenwriters involved with the TRANSFORMERS and STAR TREK franchises (and set to direct the third instalment) who is also producing.

More details as they develop.
