Hasbro’s Entertainment Studio, Entertainment One, Announces “Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury”

Posted on August 28, 2022 by admin

The 30th Season of Power Rangers, coming in 2023, begins filming Fall 2022

Hasbro’s entertainment studio Entertainment One (eOne) announces the highly anticipated 30th season of the global franchise “Power Rangers.” “Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury” will begin filming this Fall in New Zealand and will debut in 2023. The announcement comes on Power Rangers Day (August 28), capping off Hasbro’s Power Week.

For the first time since the original “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” debuted in 1993, the current cast of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” will be returning as the beloved Power Rangers for a third season. In “Power Rangers: Dino Fury,” an army of powerful alien beings is unleashed on Earth threatening life as we know it. The team of Power Rangers, fueled by the prehistoric power of the dinosaurs, are recruited to deal with the threat. The adventure continues in “Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury,” with the team heading out to space.

Returning cast members include Russell Curry, Hunter Deno, Jordon Fite, Kai Moya, Chance Perez, and Tessa Rao. “Cosmic Fury” will also see the return of showrunner Simon Bennett and writers Becca Barnes and Alywn Dale.

“Since the first episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury, this team of Power Rangers has broken the mold of the franchise in many ways, so it is exciting and humbling to be able to continue the story of these characters in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury,” said Simon Bennett. “Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 2 ends with some big revelations, and we’re so grateful to Hasbro and eOne that we get to continue to tell these stories in a brand new way.”

The first half of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” Season 2 is currently available on Netflix. The second half of the season will premiere exclusively on Netflix on September 29, 2022. Additionally, Hasbro’s toy line, inspired by the series, is available online and in stores now.

HBO’s “House of the Dragon” premiered with massive numbers on Sunday night, with 9.99 million viewers tuning in across HBO and HBO Max. This makes the “Game of Thrones” spinoff HBO’s most-watched series premiere in the network’s history.

This success didn’t come without a slight glitch: more than 3,700 were reported across HBO Max on Sunday night, taking place just before the show started airing at 9 pm.ET. “‘House of the Dragon’ is being successfully viewed by millions of HBO Max subscribers this evening. We’re aware of a small portion of users attempting to connect via Fire TV devices that are having issues and are in the process of resolving for those impacted users,” the HBO statement said.

That said, the premiere numbers are massive. The company said that the Sunday night numbers typically represents around 20% to 40% of the show’s total audience. “It was wonderful to see millions of ‘Game of Thrones’ fans return with us to Westeros last night,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer for HBO and HBO Max.

“House of the Dragon” tells the story of the Targaryen civil war, which took place around 200 years before the events in “Game of Thrones.” It is based on Fire & Blood novel by George R.R. Martin which tells the story of the House of Targaryen. The 10-episode series will be released weekly.

Yesterday at a special “Mythic Quest” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Apple TV+ and the cast and creators of hit workplace comedy series confirmed that the series will return this fall, and unveiled a first-look teaser at the highly anticipated third season.

“Mythic Quest” co-creator, executive producer and star Rob McElhenney, co-creator and executive producer Megan Ganz, executive producer and star David Hornsby and stars Charlotte Nicdao, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, and Jessie Ennis came together for the conversation, moderated by Craig Mazin, and shared a glimpse into what fans can expect this upcoming season.

Back at Mythic Quest, David settles into his new role as the boss where he truly finds himself in charge for the first time with Jo returning as his assistant — more loyal and militant than ever; and Carol attempts to figure out where she fits in after a new promotion. At Berkeley, Rachel struggles to balance her morals with capitalism, while a post-prison Brad tries to return to society as a reformed man.

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power At SDCC

Posted on July 22, 2022 by admin

By Armando

Hosting the show’s panel on Friday was Stephen Colbert, which many may know is a J.R.R. Tolkien superfan, even making a brief appearance in one of The Hobbit installments.

Series creators JD Payne and Patrick McKay and cast members on hand to give Hall H’s 6,500-strong fans the latest look at the series and discuss the Lord of the Rings prequel.

“If we are going to tell 50 hours of story, we want to make it worth it. We wanted to find a huge, Tolkien-ian mega-epic. Amazon were wonderfully crazy enough to say, ‘Yes, let’s do that.’” said Payne.

Cast members that took the stage first were Robert Aramayo (Endor), Benjamin Walker (Gil-galad), Charles Edwards (Celebrimbor), Owain Arthur (Prince Durin IV), and Sophie Nomvete (Princess Disa), who talked about their experiences in being part of the show.

Shortly after, the second group of actors arrived, including smael Cruz Córdova (Arondir), Nazanin Boniadi (Bronwyn), Tyrone Muhafidin (Theo), Markella Kavenagh (Nori), Megan Richard (Poppy), Dylan Smith (Largo), Sara Zwangobani (Marigold), and Daniel Weyman (The Stranger).

Among the stunning clips shown were that of The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), who were found near the Harfoots’ home after a comet crashes and creates a crater.

Also presented before the panel was something many didn’t expect, which I have to say, was one of the most exciting moments at SDCC this year. Bear McCeary, who composed the score for the series, as well as an orchestra which performed some of the music from the show. The composer opened the panel with a live performance.

The LOTR prequel is set to debut Sept. 2 on Amazon Prime.
