Ranger Newz 9/17/16
Hello everybody! It's been a bit dry here as there hasn't been much news recently, however that's about to change with the start of the Ninja Steel filming. Already, there's a developing story with Chantz Simpson, originally casted as Calvin the Yellow Ranger, getting recasted. Before we dive in, I also would like to say I've been doing more research with Peta Rutter and contacting people so hopefully I'll have something cool to show you within the coming weeks. Now for the news:
Chantz Simpson Recasted:
It was all that the fandom could talk about last night. Around 8pm EST it was revealed via email from Saban that the role had been recasted and the new actor is Nico Greetham. Right now all we know is that it was due to "unforeseen circumstances" however this doesn't mean we should harass anybody for answers. I know we're all curios but I'm sure this is a stressful time for those involved. Side note though, with Chantz getting recasted this makes it that one yellow ranger from every era (Zordon, Saban, Disney, and Neo-Saban) has been recasted. I wasn't aware of some of these myself but here they are:
- Audri Dubois ---> Thuy Trang (MMPR Yellow)
- Erin Simms ---> Cerina Vincent (LG Yellow)
- Heidi Bradhurt ---> Rose McIver (RPM Yellow)
- Chantz Simpson ---> Nico Greetham (NS Yellow)
A strange and unfortunate pattern, however I know everybody is wishing Chantz the best and like Yoshi said, he is still apart of the Ranger Fam.
Ninja Steel Filming:
All of this news came quickly along with the little note that filming is beginning soon. Not much more to report on this, but it does mean we could be getting a trailer with more American Footage in the next month or so, given that Ninja Steel premieres in January opposed to Febuary. Stay tuned for BTS photos from the cast/crew!
Not much else to write but since everyone was freaking out I thought I'd put this out there. Like I said stay tuned for more things Peta Rutter. I try my best but it is hard when you live on a different continent from where the actress lived. I do hope to take a trip to NZ one day, and you all will be first to know if I do. Have a great weekend everybody.
