It’s been 30 years since “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” premiered, but Amy Jo Johnson, who played the original Pink Ranger, isn’t finished with the franchise quite yet.
After raising $250,000 in less than 24 hours via a Kickstarter campaign for the “Power Rangers: A 30th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration,” Johnson will write a brand new “Power Rangers” comic book series with publisher Boom Studios, Variety can exclusively announce.
Debuting the series next year, Johnson collaborated with her partner and director Matt Hotson to co-write it. She recalls coming up with the idea before the pandemic hit in 2020. “I was daydreaming about it and mentioned it to my boyfriend, Matt. He said, ‘Why don’t you try to write it as a comic book?'” Johnson tells Variety. “We had all the time on our hands, so we daydreamed up this entire comic book series knowing the 30th anniversary was coming.”

Short-format Drama
Ghy Culture & Media, a mainland China-focused entertainment company from Singapore, has launched a slate of short drama series that it says mirror the professionally-generated short format developed by Chinese platforms Douyin and Bilibili. Its first three are fantasy “Goddess Hotel,” urban fantasy-light comedy “Miss Tanya” and sci-fi comedy “Ability Bureau.” Each short drama series is slated to run for 2 or 3 seasons, with 12 to 16 episodes per season, and each episode delivered at approximately 3 minutes. Involving Singapore production teams and actors, each project is estimated to cost between S350,000 to S1.6 million to produce. Ghy describes the slate as Singapore-China collaborations, but it does not disclose if there is a Chinese co-producer. Instead, it reveals that they will be simultaneously released on Douyin and TikTok, Douyin’s global English counterpart, with versions in English, Bahasa Indonesian and Thai.

Somehow, in a TV landscape where every cable channel, streaming service, gaming platform, and smart watch has to develop at least one grim and gritty drama series, the darkest show on television isn't "The Leftovers" or even "The Walking Dead," but a silly, if stunningly committed, Comedy Central half-hour called "Review." The show, which just wrapped up its amazing second season, follows beige and bespectacled "reviewer of life" Forrest MacNeil (Andy Daly, who also executive produces the show, which is adapted from an Australian comedy) as he is assigned experiences by his viewers — What's it like to join the Mile High Club? What's it like to catfish someone? — that he must then do and rate on a five-star scale. Over the course of the first season, we saw the show tear Forrest's life apart, as he had to divorce his wife, inadvertently got his ex-father-in-law killed, and was committed to...

“It’s easy. You find some vulnerable people, you isolate them, you exploit them financially. Then, rivers of blood.”
Lucille calls it right from the get-go. When a man about to open a CrossFit gym asks Forrest what it’s like to be a cult leader he might as well start chiseling tombstones. Forrest himself even admits, all of five minutes into ‘Cult; Perfect Body,’ that founding a vapid, financially predatory cult with the assistance of his girlfriend(whose death he mourns while still referring to her as “Mrs. Greenfield”) has driven him mad with power. The cult itself is a fabulous joke, Forrest’s unconscious sublimation of his show’s pointlessness into an equally pointless quest to “live a five-star life.” He mocks their credulity while feeding them the same ethos he uses to justify his monstrous behavior as the host of Review, everything in his life twisted and absorbed by his television persona.

On tonight's Channel 4 documentary My Perfect Body, Brooker interviews porn stars, tests out Beyoncé's 'Cayenne Pepper Diet' and puts his body on the line, all in aid of his TV investigation. Digital Spy had a quick chat with Brooker to find out whether he enjoyed his intense experience.
You don't strike me as someone who would be concerned about their appearance. Does it bother you?

Looks like Jennifer Aniston won't be hitting up a McDonald's drive-thru anytime soon.
In a candid interview with celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow for The Cut, Aniston reveals the time she had no choice but to eat McDonald's -- and the not so pleasant after effects on her "purified system."
Pics: Jennifer Aniston Goes Toe-to-Toe with Rachel Bilson
"I'll never forget when Justin and I were on a road trip and we were so hungry. The only thing around was McDonald's. I think I ordered a Big Mac," she explains. "Wow, my body did not react well to that! It was like putting gasoline in a purified system. I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible. And I think what you put in your body, as well as stress, is reflected in the quality of your skin."

In early June we told you about author and professor James F. Broderick's Now a Terrifying Motion Picture!, after which he offered to write a guest blog for us. The result is this hilarious satire about how Hollywood often ridiculously distorts classic works for contemporary audiences.
[The following information – compiled and transcribed from various legal pads, voice recorders, and Blackberries of certain movie studio executives – reveals the extent of Hollywood’s interest in the Frankenstein story and the desperation to find a new angle for a remake that will appeal to a contemporary, teen-aged audience. This sheaf of papers and transcripts, currently in the hands of a major literary agency, has been documented as authentic and will be published next year as part of a larger cache of documents under the title I Know What You Did Last Pitch Meeting: Horror Movies They Thought You’d Actually Pay To See. The author/compiler of this work wishes to remain anonymous. The names of the studio executives have been redacted for legal reasons.]
Studio Exec #1: (first part of sentence is garbled) …and then – whoosh – the creature appears!
Studio Exec #2: But why, exactly, is he naked?
Studio Exec #1: She.
Studio Exec #2: (After a pause) Ah… (scribbling happily). Tell me again how the creature tracked down the posse of tormentors?
Studio Exec #1: Hacked their Facebook page.
Studio Exec #2: (Nodding as he writes) Got it. That’s good.
[Pages missing here. Notes resume in a different hand, date uncertain]
Producer: …Won’t work – he flopped in that disaster film last quarter. We gotta go with somebody else.
Writer: So who you looking at? Brad Pitt?
Producer: Nope. Too expensive.
Writer: George Clooney?
Producer: Too good looking.

It was an awkward conversation with my college roommate the day we moved in together. “Are you really hanging that up?” he asked, glaring at my Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers poster. “Of course!” I replied unapologetically. I mean, if I was going to have to stare at his giant Moroccan tapestry all year, he could handle my little Power Rangers poster. (And my Wall•E poster. And my Lost poster. Oh, and maybe my Spider-Man and Pokémon posters, too.) My roommate sort of grimaced, trying his hardest to seem pleasant, and I gave him a similar look of pity — clearly,...

Lucky us. The untitled Bond 23 just got a release date (here) at long last, and we’re really excited here at Killer Film. Along with the exotic locations, the gadgets, the cars,the theme song, the license to kill, we especially love the Bond Girls. Whether they’re the main character or a sexy supporting one, the Bond Girl is one of the most important aspects. It’s still to early to know who will be cast as the Bond Girls in Bond 23, but that’s why we are here. Donny Broussard and Jon Peters offer their picks at actresses they would love to see in a Bond Girl role!
Jon’s Picks:
- Freida Pinto (from Slumdog Millionaire, Rise of the Apes)
To me, she is the most obvious choice. Young, gorgeous, and can really act, Freida Pinto could be a main star in the upcoming film.

Get ready to pick your eyebrow off the top off your forehead, because according a new interview Katy Perry once considered breast reduction. Says Perry, as a 13-year-old, “I had really bad back problems and was a little bit thicker. Then I grew up and lost the baby fat and said, ‘Hey, this isn’t all that bad.’” Wow, and to think: Katy could have ended up some boring ol’ nuclear physicist if she had gone through with reducing her jiggle. Thank the gods she didn’t take them down a cup size; how would adolescent boys know when to enter puberty? From whence would the nation’s breast-mounted whip cream lasers flow? Imagining the possibilities is like It’s A Wonderful Life, but with nipples. Seriously though, Katy, America needs those jugs almost as much as your career needs them. Well, everywhere in America except Sesame Street. When chatting...

We loved Davina’s entrance into the Celebrity Big Brother house last night!
Dressed in Nicola’s chicken costume, the Bb presenter had hoped to fool the housemates into thinking that she actually was the former page three model. However, seconds after her entrance Vinnie Jones exclaimed:
‘That’s not Nic!’
And it didn’t take long for them to guess exactly who it was.
Our favourite moment of Davina’s stay, was when Alex threw her over his shoulder, while she screamed and tweeted at the top of her lungs! Check out the video above for more great Davina moments.

Davina McCall will enter the Big Brother house tonight while the housemates are present, for the first time ever.
Apart from her quick commentary to them on each eviction night, Davina never makes contact with the housemates during their time in the house. However tonight the presenter is set to spend several hours with the group, though she won’t be sleeping over.
There is of course going to be a twist. Before the double eviction show, the group will be given a task where they all have to dress up in animal costumes and are told not to speak. The first housemate will be evicted in their animal costume and Davina will then don the costume and enter the house. If all goes to plan, the celebrities won’t even be aware that Davina is in their midst.
