Ryan Reynolds and Paul Rudd seem interchangeable now.

That looks fucking good.

Looks rather bland to me but then again I didn't think much of the original either. The date seems like a bit of a cheap tie in to 80's nostalgia without actually having much in the way of visuals of the era.

I thought the original was okay, but it totally ripped off the formula from Captain America: The First Avenger.

This one at least looks like an original story, and I am definitely a sucker for the "cheap 80's nostalgia."

When people think of 80's nostalgia in cinema though there not generally talking about the setting but the style which that trailer shows very little of indeed.

The police cars and the style of the mall all fit. I remember the 80's well. The trailer wasn't particularly long, so I wasn't expecting to see a whole lot.

I mean when I think of 80's revivalism I think, Drive, Atomic Blonde, Blade Runner 2049, Ragnarok, films that focus on the look of the era moreso than being set in that era.

Some of those films you mentioned may have exaggerated things a little.

POWER RANGERS Movie Reboot in the Works from The End of the F**king World Creator

It’s Morphin time for Jonathan Entwistle. The filmmaker, perhaps best known for creating Netflix series The End of the F---ing World, is taking on Power Rangers,a new version of the colorful family adventure franchise, this time set up at Paramount Pictures.

Entwistle is in early negotiations to direct a new feature project that would reboot the title.

Rangers was a ’90s TV series and global marketing franchise, initially called The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, that used footage from a Japanese children’s show. The premise involved a group of kids who become superheroes, each with his or her own color-coordinated outfit and matching helmet. The show first aired on Fox Kids, then in the 2000s on Disney-owned channels. A movie also hit theaters in 1995.

Lionsgate produced and released a feature in 2017 that rebooted the title, making it less kid-friendly and giving it a more brooding YA edge. The movie bombed, grossing only $142 million worldwide on a budget of around $100 million, and plans for a series of films scrapped.

Now in Paramount’s court, Rangers is getting rebooted once more, in a way that hopes to bring the franchise to its roots. The story is said to involve a time-travel element that brings the kids to the 1990s, and in Back to the Future fashion, they have to find a way to get back to their present. Patrick Burleigh, who wrote the upcoming Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, is penning the script.

Hasbro, which bought the property from creator Haim Saban in 2018, is producing the feature via its film arm, Allspark Pictures.

On the surface, Entwistle is an outside-the-box choice for the shiny franchise as his Netflix show is dark and envelope-pushing, about the opposite of what you can get for a Hasbro property. The show, a dark comedy that he directed and exec produced and that debuted its second season in November, told of the growing friendship between a teenage boy who believes he is a sociopath and is looking for a person to kill and a girl who persuades him to ditch their homes for a road trip.

Entwistle is currently in post on I’m Not Okay With This, another Netflix show he co-created, exec produced and directed. Also teenage-centric, Not Okay focuses on a girl dealing with high school life, her budding sexuality and superpowers. But the director has shown he has a grasp on the voice of the younger generation, which execs hope will translate into something unique and appealing onscreen.

How much did the Abu Dhabi government subsidize the production costs?

Having just finished the movie, the weird thing is that Abu Dhabi appears as itself and as a stand-in for the capital of the fictional central-Asian country.
