Espio the Chameleon from RangerBoard was able to attend the Brand Licensing show in London, and he was able to talk with a represnetaitve from Saban Brands and got some details:
Many thanks to mr Tony Ross for agreeing to speak with me
Now on to questions
Who has the DVD distribution rights
"under negotiation"
Who has the video game rights
"bandai namco, among others which are under negotiation"
Do you plan on releasing DVD boxsets
"yes we do among other projects such as specials, Dtdvd movies, we have a whole backlog of 700+ episodes we intend to release to the power rangers fans worldwide"
Any plans for a theatrical movie?
"there are plans for it however it depends on public reception to the return of the brand, if the reception is good even if it's not as good as 1993, production of a new theatrical movie will go ahead"
Any plans of a return of Sabans masked rider
"we are evaluating possible plans which may strengthen the power rangers brand and I have been told that footage of a crossover between the source footage of masked rider and the source footage of power rangers has been acquired, whether it will be used within the series or saved for a possible DVD special is as of yet unknown as there are still licence negotiations underway"
Also shook hands with a Mr Elie Dekel(sp?)
Here is the promo video that was presented at the show, and uploaded by Espio:
In the promo, we got a glimpse of the cast and a group shot of them in what appears to be uniforms for the show (apologies for the blurry picture, it was the best I could do):
