While a "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" movie reboot is in the works, a fan-made trailer has gone viral.
Joseph Kahn and Adi Shankar released a "bootleg" to the hit 1990s classic teenage superhero series, where it featured a rather darker version of the characters spearheaded by "Dawson's Creek" alum James Van Der Beek and "Battlestar Galactica" cast Katee Sackhoff.
Van Der Beek portrayed the role of Rocky, the second red ranger, while Sackhoff gave life to Kimberly, the pink ranger.
The 14-minute long version of the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" is reportedly a satire to the classic movie reboots that should have been left alone.
"The dark and gritty reboot thing is such a cliché that the intention was not only to make it dark and gritty but make it even darker and grittier than you could possibly imagine, hence the brains, the blood and the violence and the sex," Kahn, who's known for helming music videos of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Shakira, said in an interview with HitFix.
Adding, "Overall, it's a very serious thing. The joke isn't that you're laughing at each particular scene; the joke is that we did this 'f**k y**' thing in the first place. You're going to look at it and you go wow I can't believe they f****ng did that."

Furthermore, Kahn said that there is no way that he'll direct a real "Power Rangers" movie even if he gets a "$200 million" offer.
"The irony here is that I wouldn't even want to make 'Power Rangers: The Movie' for real, like if I had to make a 'Power Rangers' movie, this is it," Kahn insited. "It's 14-minutes long and it's violent and this is what I have in me. If they offered me the 200 million version, the PG-13 version, I literally wouldn't do it. It's just not interesting to me."
Meanwhile, a real reboot to "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" movie under Lionsgate is set to hit theaters on July 22, 2016.
