In an article in NZ paper Western Leader, Tom Hern talks about producing the film I’m Not Harry Jenson and working with James Robertson Napier. The guys starred together in The Tribe series 4 & 5 as Techno’s Ram & Jay and alongside each other in Power Rangers Dino Thunder as Devin Del Valle and Conner McKnight.
On working with James on I’m Not Harry Jenson, Tom said the following:
After years of doing television together we decided to start working on a script – something we’d be proud of. So we decided we’d do it 100 percent independently, outside of the normal funding routes such as the New Zealand Film Commission.
Tom ends the interview by saying he has currently got three scripts in development! Busy guy. I’m Not Harry Jenson premieres on July 22nd, more on that here. Well done to Tom and James on the film and all the best with the premiere guys! The full article/interview with Tom Hern can be read here and below.

Just a random bit of info, I went into Tesco’s and found the complete DVD boxset’s for the Power Ranger series Dino Thunder (James Napier, Miriama Smith, Tom Hern, Dwayne Cameron & Antonia Prebble), Ninja Storm (James Napier), Operation Overdrive (Dwayne Cameron & Beth Allen), Mystic Force (Antonia Prebble) and Space Patrol Delta (Beth Allen, James Napier & Dwayne Cameron) for £10 each. It’s a bargain compared to the current play.com or amazon.co.uk prices (see below). I bought the Dino Thunder DVD set.
  
More info on the dvd’s and the cast featured can be found on the Power Rangers page.
The Power Rangers RPM star has put on a Irish Scottish accent for his role as Flynn, the Full Throttle – Blue Lion – Ranger! Check out the clip below…
Ari sure has grown up since those days as KC in The Tribe, but the Irish Scottish accent is so strong! – It is convincing. He’s done a good job.
The clip is from episode 1 of the series The Road To Corinth, which aired on 7th March 2009. You can find more clips and screenshots over at AriBoyland.com. I was going to stop posting about the series, but I just had to do it as the Irish accent was a suprise!
 The Power Rangers series, which has been filmed in New Zealand since 2003, has currently been dropped by Disney. The series has featured numerous New Zealand actors, including from The Tribe: Tom Hern, Miriama Smith, Dwayne Cameron, James Napier, Beth Allen and Antonia Prebble.
Ari Boyland is currently featured in the latest series, Power Rangers RPM, as the Blue Ranger. It premieres today in America, hopefully it’ll be downloadable tomorrow!
Though the future of power Rangers is unclear, it is a shame if it came to a definite end in New Zealand as the series gave us a chance to see many of The Tribe cast again. In an article for New Zealand Herald Charlie McDermott (Beth Allen’s fella), who has also featured in the series, talks about the effect the American corporations has on the New Zealand film industry. The article is below and here. Continue reading…
I’m a bit behind with the Power Rangers news (again!)… Well, here’s the trailer for R.P.M featuring Ari Boyland as the Blue Ranger, named Flynn (very Aussie sounding!).
The trailer looks a bit like a Matrix/Terminator/Stargate mash-up, before going into the usual Power Ranger fare… I think it’s fan-made? Though the quality isn’t high, Ari sure looks good!
For screencaps and more up to date stuff on Ari in Power Rangers R.P.M (Racing Performance Machines) keep an eye out on AriBoyland.com, as I won’t be posting much else on his role now… Unless there’s a few topless scenes – hee hee (- wishful thinking!), there’ll be posts if there are any of The Tribe cast in guest roles this season though (- again wishful thinking!).
Have a good weekend, hope you like the new look on the blog! Also you can now subscribe by e-mail (on the right) to get updates of new postings, so you don’t have to visit here often, though I much love your visits! ; )
Ari Boyland has ‘officially’ been confirmed as joining the cast of Power Rangers R.P.M. According to Star Points Ranger Cast he will be playing the role of the ‘Blue Lion Ranger’. So he’ll be joining the list of previous Tribe stars to feature as rangers in the series; namely James Napier (Dino Thunder) and Dwayne Cameron (Operation Overdrive) – info on them is on the Power Rangers page.
A website has been set up for Ari at: AriBoyland.com it already features pics from previous acting jobs, including some from his role as KC in The Tribe and his role as James Cooper in the Disney movie ‘You Wish’. Well, he’s already got some PR fans wooing over his piercing blue eyes, very fitting he’s in the role of the Blue ranger, as they’ll compliment the blue clothing he’ll probably be wearing allot of.
I’m sure the character’s name and official pics will be released sometime soon… Till then the pic made for this blog will do! Images are edited from those at Linear’s Ranger’s RPM Site (check it out for RPM pics!) and Ari’s agency page… Oh by the way, the RPM stands for Racing Performance Machines. And the blue ranger morphs into a blue bus, now that’s a bus I want to ride. ; )
 How this escaped me I don’t know. Turns out in August Vicky Rodewyk (Gel in The Tribe 5) had a guest cast role in Power Rangers Jungle Fury, the current running series of the Power Rangers arc. She starred in the role of Gabby, one of those ‘one-off’ characters, she played the niece to Master Phant (the Elephant Ranger).
So, the storyline is Gabby is training in dance with Lily – the Yellow Ranger (played by Anna Hutchison)… Gabby ends up being talked into entering a dance competition by Lily and she ends up winning second place. Lily though missed her performance at the competition. (The links are to the scenes on youTube).
 With her dancing skills and flexibility, who knows, maybe Vicky will join Ari in Power Rangers R.P.M (Racing Performance Machines) as previously some actors with minor roles in PR later became major players in future seasons… Well it happened with Dwayne Cameron and Antonia Prebble!
Vicky Rodewyk featured in Power Rangers : Jungle Fury : Episode 23 : Fear And Phantoms. With thanks to Jebrill for the lead, cheers.
  Rumours are afoot on the web that Ari Boyland could be joining other cast members of The Tribe as becoming a core cast member in The Power Rangers series.
More info on this rumor can be found here; written from the images posted originally here. The rumours came about as Ari was pictured with cast members of the Power Rangers series.
According to his agency page, Ari has featured in a previous Power Rangers series, but as a minor uncredited character. So if you know which episode/where he featured at, let me know! There won’t be any official cast confirmation for the line-up till later on in the year.
The new series of Power Rangers is called Power Rangers R.P.M. What the RPM means I have no clue. What colour Ranger would Ari will be, who knows? Green? Blue? Maybe he’ll be a baddie? I’m sure it’ll be revealed in time. I’m not as clued up as some people are on the Power Rangers, I know the basics, so my bad if there’s any errors here.
Go Go Power Rangers! ;)
