Shankar produced a 14-minute short film based on Power Rangers with director Joseph Kahn in 2015 as part of his “Bootleg Universe” series, though the video was temporarily pulled from streaming due to a copyright claim from Saban.
Lionsgate will debut a live-action Power Rangers film based on the original series on March 24.
Shankar describes the series as R-rated, and “darker than any other Power Rangers series.”
Shankar did not confirm if Saban Brands, the rights holders of the Power Rangers franchise, has given the greenlight to the show.
