Interview w/ Judd Lynn... Phantom Ranger Revealed.... Sorta Not Really.. Kinda!!!

[Keith Justice]

1. Can you tell us what it was like rising from one of the writers to the show runner of Power Rangers?

Your history is off. I didn’t rise from being a writer. Here’s roughly my history on the show…

Jonathan Tzachor and I had worked together previously on low budget movies. Some real low-budget stuff. Then a friend of his offered us the chance to do the pilot for what was originally called “Dino Rangers.” If picked up, it would mean consistent work for months or years. We decided to do it, Jonathan as the Line Producer, me as the Unit Production Manager (UPM). The pilot turned out pretty well and was picked up. Most of us who saw it thought it was a nice little story, but the disjointed Japanese footage seemed like a crazy ingredient. Few of us had the insight of Haim Saban, who had no doubt it would be a winner.

Btw... he and whatever other Power Ranger alum he can bring will be in the upcoming S.T.A.R.S. forum... :thumbs:

 

[Sentinel King]

Oh, Keith! Very excellent, absolutely brilliant interview! :thumbs:

 

[Kenori]

I got my question answered! Awww yeah!

But anyway, very cool interview, I like his take on the Phantom Ranger, not something I would have thought of, but a very solid idea indeed. I'd go so far as to say its canon in my own world.

Also, I just feel like I need to say this: Lets not run off the stars of the series like a certain OTHER board did >.>. These guys deserve respect...

Who wants to be kind enough to point me to an explanation of this?

Good read. I especially liked how he would have concluded the loose ends with the Phantom Ranger and Billy. Thanks for the interview, Keith. :thumbs:
