He digs in his pocket and hands the guy a WAD OF CASH. (Deep in thought, barely aware of what he’s doing) Just need a buck or two, if you got anything… Hey, man, I got this job interview, I gotta take the bus. Vince starts to leave with his haul, but turns back. Jason’s phone is playing the news story about the attack on Angel Grove. A HOMELESS MAN is curled up in the back seat and YET ANOTHER THIEF, VINCE, is removing the steering column.
Jason is staring at his RED PHONE and drinking on the hood of the truck, which now has NO DOORS. Remains in fighting stance but doesn’t move… except to look mournfully back at the poor vehicle.Ī couple hours later. The LAST THIEF pauses looks laughs straightens up. The LAST THIEF is rolling the last tire away a little more slowly than the others. THIEVES are scattering like roaches, having just taken Jason’s tires, along with his rear-views and some crap in the bed. He escapes the truck some bottles and garbage spill out with him. Jason blinks, trying to focus, and swings a defensive KARATE MOVE that practically breaks his hand on the steering wheel. JASON LEE SCOTT, 40s, unwashed and hungover, wakes up to the sound of the truck he’s been sleeping in collapsing to one side. JASON'S BUSTED TRUCK, PARKED IN DOWNTOWN L.A. End with the self-sacrifice of Zordon and the saving of all worlds. This is a big universe, we learn, and Rangers hold it together. We also get the impression that there are other planets involved in Rangering, specifically Aquitar - and we see Billy kissing Cestria. We don’t see how everyone left the first team, but we see a few power coins being passed, and new teams with new outfits, and we get the idea that there are generations of Rangers. The OPENING CREDITS use COMICS, hurried along by bolts of lightning, to give the basic background we need: Zordon, Rita, the original five rangers, the addition of Tommy, monster fights. They are joined by drums and an intense, sinister guitar which leads into a SUPER DRAMATIC, HARDCORE version of the MIGHTY MORPHIN’ POWER RANGERS THEME SONG.
PULL BACK up to the sky, where enormous LIGHTNING BOLTS OF ALL RANGER COLORS CRACK so hard they seem to split reality. Even through his helmet, we can tell Andros is terrified.Īs he screams, the sound mixes with the howl of a wolf and a crash of thunder.
And her mouth keeps opening, and her eyes roll further. Start with everything he knows about Tommy Oliver.Ĭelia OPENS HER MOUTH. Romulus? Is that what you’re calling yourself? NUMITOR, a monstrous soldier, Romulus’ second-in-command, enters. Whatever he’s done to you… whatever he’s threatened you with… You don’t have to listen to him. Silver filigree surrounds her enormous blue eyes. Romulus’ cloak fills the frame, but he steps aside, revealing CELIA, 13. I don’t anticipate you betraying your friends. We briefly see a wide view of the battleground: a ruined moonscape of white dust, black monsters, blood, DYING KARONE, DEAD CIVILIANS and MILITARY PERSONNEL, and DEAD SPACE RANGERS.
We get a first look at his METAL WOLF MASK with the enormous FULL MOON in the background.Īll around, alien HOWLS rise. (a deep, calm, terrifying synthetic voice)Īndros tries to rise and fight, but he’s no match for Romulus’ grip. We can’t get a good look at him because he’s mostly covered in a cloak, but we know he’s big and armored. The hand belongs to ROMULUS - the villain who is currently reducing Angel Grove to dust. He collapses.Ī nearby CRUNCH, and a SHADOW falls across ANDROS.Īn enormous, gloved, metallic hand grabs his wrist and CRUSHES his COMMUNICATOR. Andros, with a few skillful kicks and punches, KILLS it, but it costs him the last of his energy. The sounds of a SPACE BATTLE can now be heard.Ī MONSTER runs into frame - loping and misshapen, a cyborg werewolf. (*Note: Andros and the Space Rangers can be replaced with whichever Power Ranger team makes most sense with the current timeline)Ī nearby EXPLOSION nearly takes him out. We have the sense that we’re in a silent film: Everything is black and white, and we’re holding our breath for fear of breaking the spell.Īnd the spell is broken by the loud CRUNCH of a boot - the boot of ANDROS, the RED SPACE RANGER.* A sign, half-buried: “ANGEL GROVE YOUTH CENTER GYM AND JUICE BAR.” We see broken pieces of sports equipment, café tables, a wrestling ring. We’re in the remains of a building that used to have a roof and windows. The silence holds as we PAN DOWN to apocalyptic RUBBLE.
