After weeks of teasing and brief behind-the-scenes clips, The Order Movie finally released its teaser trailer early this morning. Included with it is the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign asking for $250,000 over the next 2 months to help create this movie though the campaign page states the movie will be made no matter what – fan funding only assists in upping the quality of the finished product.

The Order, from what can be pieced together from Facebook posts from actors and what is revealed on the campaign page, is a top secret group of enforcers (who take down the really bad bad guys) who end up turning on their own – but who is in the right and who is in the wrong? The Order Movie was created by Karan Ashley and David Fielding.

Fans can help make The Order Movie even better through donations. Of important note is the inclusion of the Official Power Morphicon convention organizer, Scott Zilner, as part of the production staff as set and prop designer. One of the perks (at the $400 donation level) is an evening out with the actors during this year’s Power Morphicon. A similar perk is available for the RangerStop Convention as well. The band Eyeshine, whose lead singer is Johnny Yong Bosch, is providing the soundtrack.

For the teaser and all the details – click here and check out the Indiegogo campaign page.

Important note – TokuNation.com does not officially endorse any crowdfunded projects due to alleged continued misconduct with crowdfunding in the past (MMPR Film, The Independent Power Rangers Movie). Fans donate at their own risk. This story was posted at our own discretion and not at the request of anyone involved in the production of this movie. We wish all those involved all the best and look forward to the release of the movie.

If you’re involved in social media at all then over the last few days you’ve probably seen some of your former Power Rangers alumni tweeting out cryptic messages and videos about something called “The Order“. So what is The Order? Honestly – we don’t know, and those who do aren’t speaking about it!

But we have received three cryptic messages – an image of two people standing together with the message “Legends aren’t born, they’re forged”. The second, a quick video (shown below) of people suited up rushing out of a vehicle with the message, “Do we have your attention yet?”

And then today, the following message “Wait for it” with the date 05-19-2016 revealed. That video is also below.

So who do we know is involved? It’s a pretty extensive list. The following list are former (and one current) Power Rangers actors that have either changed their social media to the image in this news story or have been re-tweeting or sharing the videos on Instagram and Facebook.

  • Austin St. John
  • Johnny Yong Bosh
  • Karan Ashley
  • David Yost
  • Steve Cardenas
  • Catherine Sutherland
  • David Fielding
  • Paul Schrier
  • Nakia Burise
  • Blake Foster
  • Hilary Shephard
  • Jason Faunt
  • Erin Cahill
  • Dan Southworth
  • Deborah Phillips
  • Azim Rizk
  • Yoshi Sudarso

Are you looking forward to the reveal of what The Order is? Join in the speculation in our discussion thread! We’ll have the answer (we believe) on May 19th.

As we get closer and closer to 2017, more and more information starts to come out regarding the new Power Rangers Movie. Today, various entertainment sites were given a first-look at Elizabeth Banks in her costume for Rita Repulsa.

The first main take away from the getup is the amount of green … you think she has a thing for the color green? This could be some fun foreshadowing for a sequel if the movie does well. If you remember your Mighty Morphin Power Rangers lore, Rita Repulsa eventually creates her own Ranger – the evil Green Ranger!

Join in the discussion and share your thoughts on the new look for the Empress of Evil!
