Legend of the White Dragon is scheduled to open in select North American theaters on August 28, 2026 — a date the distributor tied to National Power Rangers Day in its March 28, 2026 announcement. (filmcombatsyndicate.com) The picture is being released by Bat in the Sun Productions in association with Paradox House, with producers listed as Chris Jay, Aaron Schoenke, Sean Schoenke, Jason David Frank and Ben Dukes and screenplay credit to Aaron Schoenke and Alex Kellerman. (butwhytho.net) The project was fan-funded: the original Kickstarter campaign drew 5,259 backers and raised $508,618 toward production. (kickstarter.com) The announced ensemble credits Jason David Frank in his final screen role alongside David Ramsey, Mark Dacascos, Michael Madsen, Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor, Jenna Frank, Jason Faunt, Cerina Vincent and Ciara Hanna. (filmcombatsyndicate.com) Executive producer updates indicate the film reached picture lock in March 2025 and that remaining post work — color grading and sound mixing — was expected to take roughly three months before seeking distribution. (theflagshipeclipse.com) Well Go USA’s announcement quoted company president and CEO Doris Pfardrescher framing the release as a celebration of Jason David Frank’s legacy while positioning the title for a late‑summer theatrical rollout.
