The press release shares: “When Jason David Frank tragically took his own life late last year, it became the filmmaker’s mission to honor his legacy by completing the film the way Frank envisioned it. Frank was a beloved actor who still has a great emotional impact on fans around the world. He was a world-renowned and acclaimed martial artist, who brought the same passion to his performances on the screen. In this film, Jason David Frank plays Erik Reed, a complex character that really allowed him to showcase his incredible range as an actor.”
The film’s filmmaker and co-star Aaron Schoenke said in a statement: “We are proud to have worked with such a talented actor, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share his final performance with the world. Having been on this journey with Jason for 10 years, I know he would be beyond excited to know that Legend of the White Dragon will be opening in theaters.”
Producer Sean Schoenke added: “Despite the tremendous loss, the production team has worked tirelessly to complete the film and ensure that it meets the high standards that Jason set for himself. The result is a powerful and moving tribute to his talent and dedication.”
Scott Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Falling Forward Films said: “We are honored to be helping to bring the last film of such a talented artist to worldwide audiences. We hope that fans of Jason David Frank will love to see the collaboration of so many celebrated actors together in Legend of the White Dragon.”
In the film, Frank plays Erik Reed, “a disgraced hero who goes into exile following a horrific event known as The Aftermath, which left a city destroyed. Blamed for the catastrophe, the city’s protectors were stripped of their titles and hunted.”
“After being a fugitive on the run for three years, the White Dragon has returned to the city he fought to protect. He must now clear his name and save the family he keeps in secret before the mysterious Dragon Prime unleashes his own revenge on the White Dragon.”
Frank, who is best known for his role as Tommy Oliver in the “Power Rangers” franchise, spoke about his upcoming project, “Legend of the White Dragon,” in a recent interview. According to Frank, the audience can expect a completely different character from him in this project. He plays Erik Reed, who is the opposite of Tommy Oliver in many ways.
Frank believes that the audience will be able to relate to Erik Reed more than Tommy Oliver because Reed is a more mature and complex character. He says that this role allows him to express himself in a way that he hasn’t been able to before on television. The show deals with more real life issues, such as depression and regrets, which many people can relate to.
Frank also notes that many of the older characters in the “Power Rangers” franchise would not be able to relate or express themselves in the same way as a regular teenager would nowadays. He feels that the show’s focus on more complex and relatable characters will resonate with the audience.
“Legend of the White Dragon” features a star-studded cast, including Mark Dacascos, King Bach, Michael Madsen, David Ramsey, Aaron Schoenke, Jason Faunt, Rachel Brooke Smith, Ciara Hanna, Kevin Porter, Mayling Ng, Cerina Vincent, and Jenna Rae Frank. With such an impressive lineup, fans of the genre can expect an exciting and action-packed viewing experience.
