Don’t rule Johnny Yong Bosch out.

ARK EXITUS Trailer: Johnny Yong Bosch Battles Interdimensional Assassins In The New Sci-Fi Short
I’m becoming a little more inclined to bring back The Hit List in some form or fashion these days, and I’ll be certain to announce something by the year’s end. At any rate, you can look forward to seeing Johnny Yong Bosch’s own contribution, Ark Exitus, included in the mix. The short is expected to arrive online to watch for free beginning October 31, rejoining Bosch with fellow former Power Rangers and Extreme Heist cohort Jason Narvy. They look like us. And sound like us. But they are not us. Doppelgängers from a parallel universe have secretly assumed the identities of their opposites. To stop the threat of a mass invasion, STRUCTURE, a covert agency that polices interdimensional travel, has sent its best assassin. Bosch wore multiple hats on this project having both starred, directed and edited the pic, next to sharing penning duties with Kyle Higgins and Brian Buccellatto. […]
BROKEN PATH: A Look Back At Koichi Sakamoto’s Lost Martial Arts Masterpiece
What if I told you one of the most deliriously over-the-top martial arts movies ever was made in 2008 and nobody saw it? That’s the story with Broken Path, directed by Koichi Sakamoto and starring Power Rangers alum and voice-actor extraordinaire Johnny Yong Bosch. The movie is filled with wall-to-wall action and a simple but compelling story but for some reason to this day has seen no proper U.S. release. Broken Path opens with Bosch’s Jack living the country life on a remote ranch with his wife Lisa (Pamela Walworth) and their daughter Maddy (Lanie Taylor). Their idyllic life is shattered when the house comes under siege by a group of masked assailants, all of whom seem to have history with Jack. One of the assailants in particular, a man named Yoshi, (Dan Southworth) claims to want to help Jack. It turns out Jack has a past he’s never told […]
Now On Kickstarter: Bat In The Sun’s LEGEND OF THE WHITE DRAGON Revealed
After several days of teasing fans with vague images and posts, Bat In The Sun is now all in with their latest Kickstarter now live for Legend Of The White Dragon. Fans who’ve eyed the buzz on this project so far will undoubtedly recognize its DNA – made obvious with the clear casting of talents like Jason David Frank and Johnny Yong Bosch, former stars of a certain long-running tokusatsu series. Of course, there’s also this: In the Aftermath, the city was left decimated. A past reminder of the great battle and fall of heroes. As a result of the death and destruction the city became known as Angel Graves. The heroes were blamed, stripped of their titles and hunted. But as evil once again threatens to return they must rise from the ashes with the power of the White Dragon. The project is being billed as a darker and […]
Jam-Packed Ensemble Action Thriller, THE ORDER, Taps Nick Gillard To Direct
I heartfully remember growing up watching Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade as a kid, and seething with excitement everytime the tank chase finale came up. The moment when a soldier gets knocked out by his own periscope after mocking Indy as he’s fighting the Nazis just outside the tank always sticks out as one of the funnier points in the film. It’s also one of those moments in film you can appreciate as time passes. A quick few Google searches will promptly land you at the name Nick Gillard, having succeeded since the late 1970s in stunt performance with an incredible list of titles to his name, although cult fans of sci-fi may take notice of his work as the stunt coordinator for the light saber action in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Other credits include Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow and Timur Bekmambetov’s Wanted, while it’s easy to see […]
THE ORDER Is In With An Explosive New Extended Sizzle Trailer
Select cast members of hit tokusatsu crossover Power Rangers series have had some degree of success in other projects apart from wearing superhero spandex. That said, it’s 2016 and we’ve come into a new era of fandom and support for these actors, many of whom now have assembled an ensemble roster for Hellbinders helmer David Wald in the new action thriller, The Order, which has since undergone an extensive crowdfunding campaign to meet certain ends for the production. Footage has already rolled out in lieu of filmimg with a piping-hot sizzle trailer and several teasers in various forms to help further showcase our cast in full form, and in my humble opinion, all of it sells brilliantly. Not a lot of projects like this come to fruition, and sometimes not soon enough. Thus, it’s good to see THIS one moving forward, and with special thanks to the progress at the […]
Rangers Unite To Kick Ass In Darker, Moodier, Action-Packed Thriller, THE ORDER
The past week or more have drawn a bit of uproar over a conspicuous looking promotional image in the form of a triangular glyph. That image has been popping up on various respective fan pages of veteran cast members of the various seasons of Ameritoku hit series, Power Rangers, whilst their admins have all but denied any relation between the two. Of course, that didn’t change the fact that something, indeed, was brewing in the background, and it’s only this week now that the people behind the forthcoming feature-length action thriller, The Order, are officially pulling the curtain to unveil their agenda. Thus, they’ve put together a slick, badass sizzle reel to pitch their concept a la crowdsourcing site, Indiegogo, to help raise awareness, as well as funds needed and perks you can earn for your monetary support. The project itself marks the latest effort from executive producers and co-stars, […]
