Possible Names & Characters Descriptions For New Power Rangers Movie

With the long running TV franchise supporting it, the Powers Rangers are once again ready to leap into the big screen. Project Almanac director Dean Israelite has been tasked to on January 13, 2017 deliver the "mature but still playful" take on the source material that The Last Witch Hunters screenwriters Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama wrote, and that Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz are further developing.

Other than the core concept of teenagers being brought together to form a team and defend the Earth from a variety of aliens, we still don't know much about this new take on the Power Rangers, until now.

Thanks to their sources close to the project, Collider managed to get hold of the names of the characters and their descriptions.

• "Jason – 17 years old, the makings of someone or something great if he would just get out of his own way. Jason was a legend of this town—a freshman quarterback with the skills to take him all the way. People knew his name. Children wore his jersey. Until, one night Jason wrapped his car around a pole and busted out his knee. Everything Jason was going to become ended in an instant. And with it, he lost himself. When we meet him at the start of the film, he’s a kid in need of redemption. By the end, he’ll be leading this disparate group of teens to shed their individual baggage and find who they truly are."

• "Kimberly – 17 years old, unconventionally cool all in a way the popular girls wish they were. In fact, she was one of those girls, but isn’t anymore. Not since she’s returned to school after an absence of 6 months. Rumors are flying as to why; rumors she seems not to care about, because she’s come back with this new rebel-without-a-cause, edgy attitude. But the truth is, it’s all masking a deep secret that makes her feel profoundly vulnerable."

• "Trini – 17 years old, mysterious and extremely bright. Her parents constantly move for work, making Trini the perpetual new girl to any school. A loner who owns it, Trini is self-sufficient, contemplative, but always observant. All she wants is to find her gang of friends, but she’ll never admit it – least of all to herself."

• "Billy – 17 years old, slight and awkward. Billy is challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart and sweet, but always odd. Sometimes in a fun way, sometimes not, Billy is a kid with no filter. Showing his emotions, understanding sarcasm, and dealing with his OCD is a constant challenge. Has never really had any friends and instantly gravitates towards Jason."

• "Zack – 17 years old, always the life of the party. Filled with bravado and swagger, Zack’s tough and cool on the exterior. A charming guy who’s never had trouble with the one-liner, nor lacked confidence around women. A great athlete that’s never wanted to play on any team but his own. Zack advertises everything about himself, except the truth, which is that he lives in a trailer park with his single mom, and because of it, feels deeply inferior to all his peers."

We are still some time way from seeing the final product, so between now and then things might change, but what do you think of these possible characters descriptions?
