Power Rangers Jungle Fury
for 2008
MAY 11, 2007 UPDATED:
Disney has now had the name Power Rangers Jungle Fury copyrighted and trademarked. They've also register three website domains for the name.
Full credit goes to Henshin Justice Unlimited for the following:
"BVS Entertainment, Inc. filed
multiple documents with the US Patent & Trademark Office to protect Power
Rangers Jungle Fury on May 1, 2007. On April 17, 2007 Disney Enterprises, Inc.
registered the domains www.powerrangersjunglefury.com,
www.junglefury.com and www.powerrangersjungleforce.com.
All domains redirect to the Jetix front page.
Interesting that BVS did not also protect Power Rangers Jungle Force with a
trademark application even though Disney registered the domain. Read into that
what you will."
Now, to add to the Power Rangers Jungle Fury name, we have the first four Casting Calls for the new season.
Special thanks to CyberBlack at Rangerboard for providing the following:
Theo is 17 years old. ANY
NATIONALITY. He is a straight laced, private school conformist who never wants
to get into trouble or break the rules. Not a nerd, but he is smart, strong, and
a good fighter, but sometimes gets frustrated by Lily’s free spirit.
(Think Carlton from the Fresh Prince)
Lily is 18 years old. ANY NATIONALITY. Before coming to the Pai Zhuq Kung Fu
academy she was the captain of the Cheer Squad at her High School. She brought
home gold by incorporating her street dance into the school performances. She
may look like the stereotypical cheerleader, underneath she is tough as nails
and not to be underestimated. Outgoing, confident and ready to try anything.
(Think Buffy meets Bring It On)
RJ, Male, 21. ANY NATIONALITY. Slightly older than the others, he may be 21 or
he may be 93 as he claims. He grew up at “The Order of the Claw” Martial
Arts Centre so he is very proficient at this discipline. But, his life
experience was zero. So, his teachers send him into the world and he opens up
the Jungle Karma Pizza shop and serves as the boss and mentor to the teenage
Rangers. Think a mix between Spicoli and Rev Jim
Casey, Male, 18 ANY NATIONALITY. Good looking, athletic, fun loving. Casey has a
hard time with rules (think Maverick in "Top Gun"). He is a risk
taker, a thrill seeker and a bit of a rebel. He likes to do things his way. He
is also a master of the 'rig job': he can fix anything with a rubber band and
some paper clips.

Disney has now registered the domain name of www.PowerRangersBeastFist.com. Thus this means that we now officially have our FIRST TENATIVE title for Power Rangers in 2008, as Power Rangers Beast Fist. Of course this will be taken from the 2007 Sentai Series Gekiranger.
