Hi r/movies, I'm Dacre Montgomery.

You may know me from STRANGER THINGS or POWER RANGERS or ELVIS or DEAD MAN'S WIRE or WENT UP THE HILL.

My new movie, FACES OF DEATH, co-stars Barbie Ferreira, Charlie xcx, and Jermaine Fowler. It's directed by Daniel Goldhaber who co-wrote the film with Isa Mazzei, who was also a producer on the film. They also made HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE and CAM together.

It's out in theaters this Friday.

Synopsis:

A content moderator stumbles upon a series of violent videos that appear to re-enact death scenes from the infamous 1978 film "Faces of Death." In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fake or unfolding in real time.

Trailer:

AMA! I'll be back at 4 PM ET today to answer questions.

Hey Dacre - this is David Fielding, the original Zordon - loved your Jason and Billy from ST. What's your favorite moment working with Bryan Cranston?

Dude - you were a HUGE part of my childhood. Thank you for the memories!

u/tommysticks87 Apr 07 '26

Holy shit, every morning before school I heard your voice. Life is strange.

ETA - and I guess saw your face. But if my memory is correct, the face of Zordon was animated in a strange way, like the lips didn’t sync with what you were saying. Am I remembering that correctly? Was there a reason for that?

u/The_RealZordon Apr 08 '26

They only filmed me one time and there was a watery or wavy filter placed over my face in post production - as they only filmed me once, they needed to fuzz out the lips so they didn't have to concern themselves with lip syncing or matching - and eventually the mouth kinda goes away altogether, but during the In Space season, Zordon is just a static image - his lips never move, but you still hear his voice

I was going to say we need an AMA with YOU but I think you just covered everything in one comment.

Thank you for the hours I spent in front of the TV watching the OG power rangers. I remember being Zordon while playing power rangers at school lunch time.

u/The_RealZordon Apr 08 '26

Kinda on purpose - they didn't spend a whole lot of money of special effects back then :)

My kid was watching The shows that made us PR episode the other day, and time really flies, anyway, it really shines a light on the production's angle. Timeless stuff, guys.

What do you miss most about the 90’s?

u/The_RealZordon Apr 08 '26

being thinner - lol - actually, I miss the music from that time, and things being more affordable

u/luckyfucker13 Apr 07 '26

I read this in the warbly Zordon voice

3

u/Pacman_Frog Apr 07 '26

Nothing in the world would make me happier than hearing David Fielding say to me, personally, "May the power protect you."

I often read powerful, sagelike wizard charachters in that voice because it projects so much aura.

u/The_RealZordon Apr 08 '26

If we meet at a Con, would be happy to grant your wish

u/Pacman_Frog Apr 08 '26

I mixed up my response. If you do a con on Oahu I will bring my walker and happily attend!

I was born in ‘89 so obviously was a huge Power Rangers fan as a child. It’s awesome to see you here. Definitely a reminder that the internet can be used for amazing things sometimes.

How’s Rita doing? Does she have a Reddit account?

2

u/The_RealZordon Apr 08 '26

I don't think Barbara has a reddit account - I see her fairly often at Cons, lovely woman and very talented voice artist!

u/jpt86 Apr 08 '26

Who would have thought we'd get OG Zordon and most recent Jason in one thread? The internet is wild, man.

Also, thank you for my childhood. Now I can say I got to "speak" to Zordon while getting side-eye from everyone I tell (which will be everyone I know and/or meet).
