The original Black Power Ranger will reprise that role in a fan film being created by established Topeka performer Dané Shobe.
Shobe is joining forces to create that film, titled Black, with Walter Emanuel Jones, the first actor to play Black Power Ranger Zack Taylor in the 1990s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series.
Jones expressed excitement about the film in a video posted recently on Shobe s personal Facebook page. It is a socially conscious Power Rangers fan film unlike anything you guys have seen before, Jones said. So keep a lookout, guys. It s coming up.
Shobe is mounting a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to finance the film. He said most scenes will be shot in Topeka, while those featuring Jones will be filmed in Los Angeles, where Jones lives.
