The Tribe Cast

Michelle Ang : A Girl Meets Boy...

Girl Meets Boy by Roseanne Liang - stars Michelle Ang

Michelle Ang (aka The Tribe’s Tai-San) will be taking on the lead role in Roseanne Liang’s first feature film, titled Girl Meets Boy (it’s the working title so the name may change!).

Girl Meets Boy is “the contemporary story of Chinese New Zealand-born over-achiever Emily Chu, raised to believe she can get anything she puts her mind to. Even if ‘anything’ is at odds with her traditional Hong Kong born parents’ wish for her to become a doctor like her two older sisters. Everything is coming up roses – until she meets James, a European New Zealander, and accidentally falls in love with him. But if her father finds out, she will face disownment”.

Definitely sounds interesting! The press release (dated February) from South Pacific Pictures is below. The film is due to be released in 2011. Michelle Ang has previously worked with Roseanne Liang on the short film Take 3. Michelle is also appearing in the ‘directed by Jodie Foster’ movie The Beaver, it stars Mel Gibson and will be released this year.

With thanks to Ross for the info on Michelle’s new film. Hey if you have any news/cast goss you’d like up, do please e-mail me at clare@tribeheaven.co.uk – thanks! Images from South Pacific Pictures and Outrageous Fortune. Continue reading…

Take Off With Captain Allen!

Beth Allen - Brooke Freeman in Shortland Street - Worldflight

In a charity event for the Rescue Helicopter Trust, New Zealand celebs, including Beth Allen (Brooke Freeman in Shortland Street/The Tribe’s Amber) will be piloting a Boeing 737 flight simulator. And you can be sitting right next to her as the co-pilot!

A flight simulator is the experience of flying a plane without actually being in one. On Saturday 10th April one lucky person will meet Beth Allen and join her in the flight simulator, Beth will be acting as the pilot and the other person co-pilot. To be that lucky person you have to win an online charity auction (yep it’ll cost you – but it’s for a good cause!). The auction is online @ Sella.co.nz. It would also help if you lived in New Zealand!

You can read a profile about the lovely Beth Allen at WorldFlight.co.nz (pasted below) and find out more about the charity Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust here. There’s also a press release here. Continue reading…

I'm Harry Jenson... Are You?

To mark the nationwide release of the movie I’m Not Harry Jenson in New Zealand, there’s a series of promotional going ons over on Facebook. Included is the chance to have your name appear in the official DVD release for the movie made by James Napier Robertson and Tom Hern (aka The Tribe’s Techno boys Jay and Ram). So, your name will be in the DVD credits to their movie! How cool is that?

And those who are willing to go a step further can drop a H-Bomb on the unsuspecting public. What is a H-Bomb? A H-Bomb is when a group of people turn up to a busy, public place and spontaneously start to shout ‘I”m Not Harry Jenson!” “Are you Harry Jenson?” and the like.

The best H-Bomb vid will win a credit in the films DVD, have their H-Bomb video appear on the DVD as well as win a huge signed movie poster, signed by the cast and crew, so I guess that includes signings by Tom, James, Gareth Reeves, Ian Mune and other hot NZ talent.

Nick Miller : Killer // Rollmance

Check out this fanpage dedicated to Nick Miller (aka Pride in The Tribe) on Facebook.
On the page you’ll find exclusive pics from a short movie Nick filmed in 2009 called Rollmance, directed by James Hanline. I’m sure the title of the production explains it all! In the short film Nick plays the character Greg who is in a wheelchair. Check out the pics here. Hopefully a video will be up there soon.

Last year Nick also took the lead role in an episode of the TV series Beyond The Darklands playing the murderer Antonie Dixon. The episode he featured in will air on New Zealand’s TV One channel on Tuesday 2nd February 2010 at 9.30pm. The episode synopsis is at the bottom. Expect to see pics on his Facebook fan page, thanks to Jebrill of Tribe-Cast.com for informing me about it.

This year Nick Miller will also be appearing in Spies And Lies, a TVNZ tele-movie, as a police officer. Fellow Tribe star Antonia Prebble (Trudy) is also in the cast. Continue reading…

Miriama Smith : Enlightening The Legend Of The Seeker...

Miriama Smith as Du Chaillu in Legend of The Seeker

[View with PicLens]

Looking great, as always, Miriama Smith (who was the sexy ‘PVC clad’ Moz in The Tribe series 3) did a grand job in her role as Du Chaillu in Legend Of The Seeker. Check out the video clip below of her introducing herself to the ‘Seeker’ Richard Rahl (played by Craig Horner)…
In episode 8 of season 2, titled ‘Light’, Miriama played a prisoner who was released by the Seeker. She was later captured by a group of monsters who could turn themselves invisible… As you can see in the clip below…
Don’t worry though, she survived… The episode was broadcast in America on Saturday 16th January 2010.

Miriama’s appearance as Du Chaillu in ‘Light’ (episode 8 of season 2) completes a threesome of former Tribe cast members to appear in the series. Meryl Cassie (The Tribe’s Ebony) appeared as Bella the courtesan in episode 7 ‘Resurrection’ and prior to that Dwayne Cameron (The Tribe’s Bray) starred in episode 6 ‘Fury’ as the character Kur.

With the series filmed in New Zealand and a further 14 episodes left of season 2 to be broadcast, let’s home more Tribe cast members turn up. Or maybe more will be cast in Legend Of The Seeker season 3, if it is greenlit…

Megan Alatini : Party In The S.A.

It’s freezing cold, it’s snowing and it’s raining over here in the UK. Meanwhile over in South Africa, some people are having a jolly good time in the sunshine, including one former Tribe star: Megan Alatini!

South African social website Thunda.com have pics featuring Megan Alatini (she played Java in series 4 & 5) partying with friends and family during a ‘Sunday Sessions’ event on the 10th January 2010 at Mzoli.

There’s more pics of Megan having a good time on the site, but I can’t be bothered to track them all down and link them, because watching them enjoy the sunshine is making me depressed. Megan’s sister Meryl has however posted them all on her Facebook.

With thanks to Meryl’s Facebook and Jessica of MeganAlatini.co.nz. I need some sun.

Meryl Cassie : A Ressurection : In Legend Of The Seeker

Wow! Meryl Cassie (The Tribe’s Ebony) certainly looked great in her turn in Legend of the Seeker! Check out the video clip below…

In episode 7 of season 2, entitled ‘Ressurection’, Meryl played the role of a courtesan named Bella (she answered to the name of ‘Bella’ in the episode but in the credits she is credited simply as ‘Courtesan’). Another video clip featuring Meryl:

The episode aired in America on January 9th 2010. Meryl appeared throughout the episode in various scenes, she was definitely looking fabulous strutting her sexy stuff in her corset, she is of course no stranger to a corset as Ebony regularly wore them in The Tribe! Though it did seem tame compared to one of her tribal outfits… Though she didn’t have a major role, she definitely stood out and was a natural on screen.

With thanks to Ken aka purehero on Twitter for Tweeting the appearance.
