________The Breakdown_______
Just the facts
  • The newest season of Power Rangers will be adapted from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
  • Saban has made a new deal with Namco Bandai and Bandai America, for the toys as usual and new video games from Namco.
  • 700 old episodes (original MMPR to RPM) will air on Nicktoons 7 days a week!
  • The new season will feature 40 episodes. They may be split with 20 episodes now and 20 episodes later. But the complete season will be 40 for Power Rangers 2011.
  • Jonathan Tzachor will be in charge of the new 18th season (Shoot me.....).
  • Saban is making deals for a movie. Nothing else has been announced. Most likely it will through Paramount Films, which Nickelodeon is allied with. Nickelodeon has been developing a new film division, with Ninja Turtles being one of the productions.
  • Movie production workers from Auckland, such as costume designers and set painters are being offered three-year contracts on Power Rangers. This means Saban is serious about quality with Power Rangers!
