‘Legend of the White Dragon’: Jason David Frank’s Last Film to Release on September 4th!!

Following his tragic passing last November, actor Jason David Frank, best known for his role in the Power Rangers franchise, is set to have one last outing with the debut of Legend of the White Dragon, which has now set an official theatrical release date, according to Deadline. The movie, produced by Bat in the Sun Productions and Bascule Productions, will be distributed exclusively in theaters across 25 markets by Falling Forward Films on September 4, commemorating what would have been the actor’s 50th birthday.

Directed by Aaron Schoenke and Sean Schoenke, the film centers on the titular White Dragon named Erik Reed, played by Frank, who, after being a fugitive on the run for the past three years, returns to the city he once fought to protect. In order to save his family and clear his name, he must face off against the threat of Dragon Prime, played by Aaron Schoenke, who vows to unleash his own revenge. With an exciting and potentially action-packed premise, the film’s release could serve as a fun and engaging thrill ride, which could serve as a touching sendoff to the beloved actor.
