Reshoots for the upcoming "Power Rangers" reboot movie went ahead as planned over the weekend despite a series of storms that rocked much of the Pacific Northwest and the film's primary shooting location, Vancouver, B.C.
#BCStorm: Reshoots for #PowerRangersMovie went ahead today. Not something that can be rescheduled. Filming in Burnaby cemetery. pic.twitter.com/DLoHOCHLLa— YVRShoots.com (@yvrshoots) October 15, 2016
According to pictures obtained by YVRShoots.com, the reshoots were held in a cemetery in Burnaby, a town just east of Vancouver. The location of the reshoots calls into question the narrative importance of the cemetery.
The cemetery could have any number of uses, from a mournful flashback to memorializing a fallen ranger. A teaser trailer released at New York Comic Con showed a "Power Rangers" film tonally in keeping with modern superhero remakes, grounded yet playful. It's possible a ranger or key figure in the film is vanquished by the big bad, Rita Repulsa, or one of her minions.
