With the Power Rangers movie scoring big with fans across the world, many are already itching to own the movie on home media. Director Dean Israelite hopes to be able to load the Blu-ray with all kinds of extras. Especially deleted scenes.

“I want to put a lot of deleted scenes (on home media). We haven’t finalized what they are but I’ve offered up fifteen to twenty deleted scenes,” he told us.

When shooting the film, Israelite knew the script was long but was confident it wouldn’t play long. He was wrong. “It played twice as long,” he admits. “I loved John (Gatins) writing and there were a lot of things to explore. Take walking into the ship for example. You’re there and you see the design and you’re on the set and you have all the props and you’re like we gotta make a moment out of this. Think about that but multiply it by every single scene.”

This lead to the film’s assembly cut being three and a half hours long. Israelite managed to get the directors cut down to two and a half hours. The final film runs two hours and four minutes, which lead to the film’s quick (but not rushed) pace. “The pace has come from not so much upcutting the scenes,” Israelite said. “We haven’t made the scenes play faster we’ve just taken out some of the air.”
