Legend of the White Dragon

Three years after Erik Reed was defeated in a colossal battle, the crystal he used to become the White Dragon was broken into two pieces. As a result, he was blamed for the collateral damage that ensued and his identity was outed, making him a fugitive and a hunted man. Erik partners with people from the past that have a history, and form a new team to reclaim his powers. Once reunited, he and his team are ready to battle a new villain that has recently emerged and is seeking revenge against the White Dragon. Erik and his new team must work together to stop the villain, hoping to clear his name and be reunited with his family.

Bat in The Sun is an independent production studio based in Los Angeles, California. Co-founded and co-owned by Aaron Schoenke and his father, Sean Schoenke, the studio gained notoriety in 2010 with the release of their Batman fan film, City of Scars and their web series Super Powered Beat Down.

In 2013, Schoenke met Jason David Frank when he appeared on Super Powered Beat Down. Over the next few years, Frank and Schoenke started early discussions for a new project, which would become Legend of the White Dragon.

Saban Brands worked with Bat in the Sun on a professional capacity, when they produced a live action advertisement for the addition of Street Fighter content to the Power Rangers: Legacy Wars mobile game in 2018.

On July 18, 2019, a Kickstarter campaign was launched, hoping to find production for the film. With a goal of $500,000, Johnny Yong Bosch, Jason Faunt and Ciara Hanna had signed on, along with Jason’s daughter, Jenna Rae Frank. Unfortunately, the campaign ended on August 18th, 2019, unsuccessful in reaching its goal.

A second campaign began on March 20, 2020 and lasted for 60 days, this time with a budget for a $100,000 mini-series, but offered a new stretch goal of $500,000 for a feature film. The initial goal was met in 11 days, and the campaign ended on May 27, 2020 with $508,578 raised, meeting the goal for a feature film. Due to scheduling conflicts, Bosch left the project.

Near the end of the campaign, the main cast was announced. Jason Faunt, Ciara Hanna and Jenna Frank remained from the original cast, joined by Rachele Brooke Smith and Andrew Bachelor. Throughout production, several more cast members were announced, including Mayling Ng, Mark Dacascos and Michael Madsen. Production began in May 2021 in Los Angeles, lasting for 42 days.

In December 2021, David Ramsey and Cerina Vincent were announced as cast members in the film.

The first trailer was released via YouTube on December 8, 2021.[2]

The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 4, 2023.[3][4] Said date is what would've been the 50th birthday of the late Jason David Frank, who portrayed the main character.
