Ron Wasserman Self Interview – Scoring the Shattered Grid Prelude Video

under Power Rangers

Yesterday, fans of Power Rangers rejoiced in ways not seen in a very long time as Jason David Frank reprised his role as Tommy Oliver in a short prelude video for the upcoming BOOM! Studios Shattered Grid comic event for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers. In the video, Jason David Frank – playing the evil Lord Drakkon – reflects on various moments in Power Rangers history before ordering his armies forward to destroy the Power Rangers. The video ends on a chilling note – “they could have been Gods”.

Fans with keen ears and sharp eyes quickly noted that this prelude was scored by none other than Ron Wasserman, known in the Power Rangers fan community as the individual who scored all of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, provided tracks through Power Rangers In Space, and last performed the theme song for Power Rangers SPD. Ron Wasserman has been very public regarding his work relationship with Haim Saban – basically, “never again” – so fans were very eager to hear the story of how he ended up working on this prelude video.

Ron Wasserman took to YouTube to record a self-interview of how he was contacted by the prelude’s director (and comic writer) Kyle Higgins, and shares a number of un-used tracks for the prelude. Check it out below and enjoy!

    If this story line would go on to the show. The ratings for Power Rangers would go up over night. I will buy the comic books. But this all so needs to be a part of the show.

    It's a prelude to the comic book event Boom studios has been advertising. Part one will be released next week (Issue #25 of MMPR).

    I know what Shattered Grid is, I read the comics, I was just wondering if this is hinting at a crossover with Super Ninja Steel, seeing how they have a suit for Lord Drakkon and we still know nothing about the past Ranger guest stars that will be in Super Ninja Steel at some point. Also seeing how Shattered Grid Crossovered with HyperForce it's possible they did some thing with Super Ninja Steel.

    Ninja Steel filming was long long past completed well before Shattered Grid even existed. They film seasons of Power Rangers quite a bit in advance. It's one thing to sit in on an RPG livestream, but there never would have been an avenue to have this character be on or near set for Ninja Steel filming. It's just been completed for too long. I would put the chances of this event having an impact or interaction of any kind with the actual Ninja Steel TV series at close to zero.

    If Shattered Grid ever did get adapted as a special Power Rangers episode or miniseries, I would watch it in a heartbeat.

    Well you do realize that the comics are planned years in advance right? So it's possible that Saban did make crossover of Shattered Grid and Super Ninja Steel.
