Power Ranger's reboot dream cast

Well hello everyone. It has been one month since I have last blogged so I have decided that I will blog once a month. That right now is my writing goal for the blog, maybe Ill blog more, but I definetley won't blog less. So this thought occured to me while at work ( this is how boring my job is), with the plethora of reboots, remakes, and reinvisions coming out in the magical land of film these days, I am suprised that the classic 90's kids show ( I refuse to admit that the newer addisons not only count, but exist) the Power Ranger's. I would like to offical throw my hat in as a creative consultant/ writer ( anyone out there doing this reboot hint hint) I mean if you look the basic premise it's not bad..... remeber I said not bad, not amazing, but not bad. I am looking at the cast of the film by the way. So here is my dream cast for this completely ridiculous concept. Again sorry for no pictures I am terrible at technology

The Red Ranger/ Rocky DeSantos:  Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. in my opinion is one of the greatest actors alive today.  The man is one of the greatest method actors of all time, you could cast him as anything and the man would make you believe that he truley is it.  Who else would play the defacto lead of the Power Rangers ? The man will bring something to the role that would make it his own and hopefully bring a little bit of the Tony Stark charm as well. 

The Black Ranger/ Adam Park: Tom Hardy
I know what you are all thinking, wasn't the black ranger black. Now to make this reboot different ( and try to stear away from Zordon looking like a rascit) I am going to cast a white actor. I feel that to any group you need a big guy, a guy who nobody wants to fuck with, who could kick anything and everythings ass that comes at him. Someone with a possible hidden tragic past  and has a heart of gold? Who can play this better than Tom Hardy, I dare you to watch the movie Warrior and tell me that he doesn't play that character at it's best., but

The Blue Ranger/ Billy Cranston: Donald Glover:
To me the blue ranger was always the comic relief. The spiderman if you will to the group, always fighting along with everyone else, but making some quick quip while doing it. Nobody can do this this better than Donald Glover. If you have not heard of Donald I would suggest you go and watch either Community or the Mystery Team, both are prime examples on why he is one of the great up and coming comics.

Tommy Oliver/ The White Ranger: Chris Pine
So to me Tommy Oliver was always the cocky pro of the group, a guy who had faught before so now he feels that he is the best. He feels like he should be leader, but will be there for you when you need him. Who better to play this man than Chris Pine aka Captian Kirk from the new Star Trek.  I mean Chris has the cocky thing down pretty well, while still leaving you with the hint that he know what he is doing and should be on the team. Chris is one of the best up and coming actors and I think that he would a great addition to this film

Kimberly Hart/ The Pink Ranger: Jessica Biel
 So to me the Pink Ranger is a person who is confident person, she knows why she is part the group and embraces everything that the group stands for. She doesnt have a personal life, doesn't want one. She feels that she needs to prove herself on a team of the this cailbur. To me Jessica Biel perfectly embodies that. Though many of her movies have sucked ( Blade Trinty, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot any one ?) I feel like that doesn't make her a terrible actress. For action actresses out there I would probably put her up there in the top tier of  good ones. By the way I do realize that this pretty close to being the opposite of what the original Pink ranger was like... I again don't want to typecast something.


The Yellow Ranger/ Trini Campbell : Zooey Deschanel
 I would make the Yellow Ranger would of course the exact oppoiste of the Pink Ranger. She doesn't feel that she needs to impress any of the other rangers. Being a ranger doesnt fill up her life, she puts her life and being a ranger into two different catagoreys. Two words Zoey Deschanel

Ok for the rest I think just giving a cast listing should be sufficiant.
Skull aka Larger bully: John Goodman
Bulk aka Smaller bully: Charlie Day
Alpha 5:  Woody Allen or Billy Crystal
Zordon: Clint Eastwood
 Rita Repulsa: Elizabeth Banks
Lord Zedd :  John Malkovich
Ivan Ooze : Ralphin Fines

So this is my dream cast for the Power Rangers Reboot, personally I think it's the best dream cast that I have ever put on here, but that's just my opinion.
