A few days ago the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) posted a trivia question about the film Moneyball on their Facebook page. See it HERE.
As with so many good questions the answer they were after was “Kathryn Morris”
The question in question was: This actress was cast as Billy Beane’s second wife in Moneyball, but her scenes were cut from the film. Can you guess the actress?
Many of the commenters got the correct answer but I’m not sure that all of them were taking it seriously. Betty White?
Of course, I could be wrong 😕 What do you think the correct answer is?
Which actress was cast as Billy Beane's 2nd wife in Moneyball?
Aaron Jackson, writer/director of the short film Sunday’s Mother, has let us know that the film will receive its première at the Newport Beach Film Festival in May. Newport Beach is in Orange County, California, about 30miles (50km) south of Los Angeles.
The film, starring Kathryn as the mother of a boy suffering at the hands of a bully, will be shown in a set of short films under the title Don’t Cut Your Family Short starting at 4pm (PST) on the 1st of May 2012.
You can see more details of the screening on the Festival Genius website. The Festival’s own website is HERE.
We’ll bring you more news on this as we get it.
KM UK has been directly involved in backing and promoting Sunday’s Mother since we first heard about it last year. The Kickstarter funded project was filmed last July and has been applying for festivals since post-production ended in September. See all the Sunday’s Mother posts on KM UK for more details.
It’s been nearly three years since BBC last broadcast the Steven Spielberg directed, Tom Cruise starring, sci-fi action film Minority Report. It formed the basis of this site’s first “Media Alert”, posts that notify UK readers of appearances of Kathryn work.
Normally the film appears on BBC 1, which would mean an HD broadcast for the first time, but this year it gets bumped over to BBC 2 and not simultaneously shown on BBC HD. Hang your head in shame Auntie
Oh well. BBC 2 this coming Friday (aka Good Friday), 6th of April 2012 at 11:15pm (11:40pm in Scotland). Full details can be found on the BBC website HERE. I understand that some of our neighbours on the continent may be able to see this as well
To mark the event I’ve added a large-sized still (show above) of Kathryn in the film to the Gallery.
Based on a Philip K Dick story and released in 2002, Minority Report is about John Anderson and his fight to prove his own innocence after being identified as a future killer by the Pre-Crimes Police squad he works for. Kathryn plays John’s estranged wife who he turns to for help. Kathryn’s role is relatively small, Samantha Morton takes the more prominent co-star role, but it is important, especially towards the end.
Kathryn made further appearances on day 3 (Kathryn’s 2nd) of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
I should start out by saying that the image above is not part of this update. It is part of a portrait session for the cast of Resurrecting The Champ and it did happen on the same day. As much as I’d love to post an update on it, and savour every extra pixel, I did that last July with the largest versions available No, I’ve used it because it is my favourite Kathryn photo and I don’t need much of an excuse to post it
Along with the photoshoot, the 20th of January 2007 saw Kathryn attend another of those product promotional events, this time at the Marquee Lounge, the Resurrecting The Champ première and after party (8 new images), and another promo event at the Heineken Green Room. In total we have 21 more images across the three events.
Day 4 coming soon.
Update: An additional photo from a Q&A at the première was added just after this article was posted. The image has since been upgraded to one much greater size.
Update 2: Two more large images of Kathryn with her co-star Josh Hartnett at the première.
Moneyball finally makes the conversion from Dollars to Sterling
Short of a “directors cut” release, or Kathryn’s other scenes that hit the cutting room floor finding their way out into the open via some other means, this is likely to be our last post about Moneyball.
Today sees the UK home release of the movie, based on the book by Michael Lewis, that tells the story of the Oakland Athletics (the “Oakland As”) baseball team and their attempts to break the mould. In a sport dominated by money and those with lots of it, how can a small team with very little (in comparison at least, they had still had millions after all) compete. By thinking outside of the box.
Hitting American cinemas in September 2011, the UK got it’s first showings in November. The DVD and Blu-ray versions were shelved (as in put on the shelves ) in American stores in January this year. As the US Blu-ray was region free it is very likely that the official UK version will be identical to it. The descriptions of the extras certainly looks the same so UK shoppers should get to see one of Kathryn’s scenes with Brad amongst the deleted set. The DVD may vary though, despite the film to PAL video conversion being done more simply than from film to NTSC. In the past extras such as interviews have often been done on video, which complicates the conversion (NTSC to PAL) so they drop them. In these days of every thing being digital that may no longer be the case.
Moneyball received many award nominations, mainly for Brad’s acting and Aaron Sorkin/Steve Zaillian screenplay, and won several but missed out on a coveted Oscar. However, congratulations to all involved. I doubt anyone expected a movie, especially a sports movie about a small team, that went through a lot before it even got made, would go on to become such a success. They should make a movie about it… Oh, hang on!
Thank you to Moneyball for giving us so much to talk about this past couple of years, it is just a shame that we ultimately had so little to show for it.
