under Power Rangers

For those following the developments of returning cast of previous years for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, you may remember Karan Ashley stating that all previous actors and actresses had received a generic E-mail invitation, nothing personalized, about returning to the show for the 20th Anniversary.

Thanks to Fury Diamond, a copy of said E-mail is now available for all of us to read. What’s enlightening about the E-mail is that Saban Brands states that there was no intention in pre-production to include any veteran Rangers for Super Megaforce. The E-mail continues to try to influence the past actors to return “for your fans”, and states that compensation would be very little in an individual basis.

We are complying to the request of Fury Diamond not to re-post the E-mail here, and are instead giving you a direct link to said E-mail.

What do you guys think? Given the recent backlash aimed at Saban Brands and Jonathan Tzachor by fans for what they feel is them being cheated by what Saban Brands stated would be the “most expensive” season ever at the last Power Morphicon, do you side with the actors refusing to show up because of the lack of compensation? Do you think production is being too cheap? Or do you think some of the actors could spare a four day expenditure to New Zealand for the sake of the fans?

A lot to discuss, so let’s get to it!

Thanks to an poster on 2chan we’ve gotten our first look at the Golden Wizard from the Kamen Rider Wizard Summer Film! Golden Wizard sports a similar design to Wizard himself, albeit with a giant hat shoulder pads and cape. I’m getting a certain Magiking feel from him.

Also seen in this image is the first glimpse of the army of Wizards said to appear in the film. According to leaked rumors about the film everyone will become Wizards for a brief time.

While it has been confirmed that we will be getting the Ranger Keys for Super Megaforce, news from Rangercrew Member Fury Diamond just broke out; whatever Ranger keys were used during Gokaiger are the Ranger Keys that will be appearing in the show.

Sadly, this probably means that we will not be seeing original Gokai Change footage, utilizing the Titanium Ranger or SPD Orange Ranger costumes. This also means that the Spirit Rangers from Power Rangers Jungle Fury will most likely not be seen in Super Megaforce as well.

Note that the keys photoed in this artcile are custom made by zeltrax987.

Ain’t It Cool News has posted a new image of FEMA on the set of Godzilla in Vancouver, Canada! More info:
Hey folks, Harry here… with FEMA having a presence in Legendary’s

GODZILLA – I assume we can be guaranteed of an American landfall… even if this FEMA set is actually in Vancouver, where the Godzilla crew is busily making this recovery center. Right now – I’m just imagining a giant Godzilla foot stomping through the arena top and smashing all the injured and recovering folks below. But then, I’ve probably seen GODZILLA VS BAMBI a few too many times! Thanks to our mysterious spy, known only as JEFF

Can FEMA cope with the catastrophic epitome of destruction known as Godzilla? 1 more year to find out!
