I'm interested

'I honestly had never watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

wow

Sounds kinda interesting, but Im gonna wait to actually hear the pitch before I get too excited. >_>

Tbh the fact that she's never even watched the show, and to my knowledge has always tried to keep a certain amount of distance from it, is what makes the project appealing. She's got an insider's experience and perspective, but an outsider's creative enthusiasm. Whatever the result is, it could be interesting.

She did the most for the series aside from Tommy. Was also the only original ranger to be replaced properly with Cat instead of randomly getting dropped. And was in the Turbo movie and reboot movie.

she had a phase where she left the series behind sure but she wanted to be known as an actress and not just Kimberly some 2 decades after she left the series, God forbid she wanted to do something else at some point.

I'm also interested to hear the pitch

Always wondered about this, like if you take all the time to film it, do you go and watch yourself after? I know a lot of actors claim they have never seen the movies or television they have been in, but I guess you experience it, even though it's broken down into inconsistent parts when filming.

I remember she said she didn't want to be 50 in spandex lol. But I wouldn't mind her suiting back up.

They're all in their 50's minus Austin St John who is in his late 40's.

everyone else was in their 20s but he was cast when he was 18

Why would she watch it? During MMPR phenomenon they were travelling all over the place outside of filming and I bet their schedules were crazy

She also wasn't in the demographic that the show she was making was for, so less chance she'd choose to go back and watch it

And many actors/actresses don't want to watch themselves

I was referring to the OG cast. I remember a magazine had the original 6 being about 25 while Austin was 19. I'm not surprised Johnny was 18 when he came around though. He looked young lol.
