A new full-length trailer for the "Bryan Cranston).

It's the latter character who's of most interest, since The Dark Knight."Though we're not necessarily getting "Dark Knight" vibes from this trailer, it does have a decidedly different mood from past "Power Rangers" projects we've seen, and Cranston's presence adds some gravitas to the proceedings. His version of Zordon can probably best be described as "anthropomorphic screen," and though that sounds pretty odd, it does look pretty cool in action (and light-years more advanced than the giant blue floating head used in the '90s TV version).

The "dark and gritty" trend has been done to death (a fan-made short film even tried this tactic before with "Power Rangers," with surprisingly successful results), but this flick looks like it has potential to be more than just another reboot for the sake of reboot. We'll remain cautiously optimistic for now.

"Power Rangers" is due in theaters on March 24.
