Liongate announced that they will delay the release of the upcoming Power Rangers film reboot from July 22, 2016 to January 13, 2017. Lionsgate did not provide a reason for the set-back. But, with little more than a year until the original release date, it’s possible that the studio felt like they didn’t have enough of the movie assembled for a Summer 2016 opening.
Indeed, no director or cast has been confirmed yet. Only Dean Israelite has been mentioned as a potential director, but he is far from confirmed.

The Power Rangers film is currently being produced by Haim Saban, Brian Cassentini (of Saban Brands), and Allison Shearmur (Cinderella), with a script being written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class, and Thor).
