James Van Der Beek Kills in Rated R 'Power Rangers' Short
Lionsgate is currently hard at work remaking the movie version of Power Rangers, but producer and director Joseph Kahn have already finished a new vision of the popular children's TV show that launched in the 1990s.
Power/Rangers, Shankar's fourth Bootleg Universe project, stars James Van Der Beek (Dawson's Creek) and Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica") as former rangers at odds in a bleak future controlled by the machines.
This might be the greatest short I have ever seen. Going back to a childhood classic like Power Rangers and updating to be a kickass balls-to-the-wall short just makes me want to see this as a feature film. Van Der Beek does a great job as Rocky (the replacement Red Ranger) and Sackhoff nails the Pink Ranger to a T. The ending will leave you wanting more, now watch it quickly!
