 It may be called the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ but their schedule for the festival is anything but.
The ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ is a single venue event running over 3 days with the most detailed plan of events I’ve seen of any of the dozens I’ve looked at the past few years.
The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) and Kathryn, will be screened during the festival in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday the 11th of April. The venue is the Alex Theater, The Metropolitan At The 9 complex.
What normally happens at these short film festivals is for the individual movies to be grouped together, often around a common theme, to make a longer single screening. The exact timing of a particular item, or even the order, is thus rendered an unnecessary detail.
Not for the short ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest.’ it isn’t.
Earlier this month the organisers released the official poster (see above right) and the schedule for the long weekend’s activities. It’s done to the minute for the every showing.
So, The Coin slots (see what I did there? never mind) in at 4:30pm, just after a ‘presentation’ by a local brewery.
Tickets and more details are available via the official website HERE.
  If only I’d known about this a week ago I’d still have been a week late.
A trailer for the movie Roommate Wanted, previously known as 2 Br/1 Ba, has been released. A copy can now be found in the Gallery.
Not surprisingly it focuses on our two leading ladies: Alexa Vega and Spencer Grammer. Kathryn does not feature, but then neither do any of the rest of the cast really either.
For more details on the movie and the May DVD/VOD release date check out our previous post here.
 The movie up to now known as 2Br/1Ba (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom; the description of an apartment) has undergone a name change to Roommate Wanted prior to its newly announced release date of the 19th of May.
The launch will be on DVD and video on demand service and will receive the US ‘R’ rating for content.
Here is the official press release from Lionsgate Home Entertainment:
Keep your friends close and your roommates closer when Roommate Wanted arrives on DVD (plus Digital), Digital HD and On Demand May 19th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids franchise), Spencer Grammer (TV’s “Greek”), Kathryn Morris (TV’s “Cold Case”) and Richard Riehle (Transformers: Age of Extinction), it’s an all-out girl-war that ends with someone moving out for good. Roommate Wanted will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $19.98.
Janie is an ambitious student who dreams of a better life. Dee is a gorgeous socialite who dreams of a rich husband. They’re already not the best of friends…or the best of roommates. But when Janie gets the opportunity of a lifetime, Dee becomes the roommate from hell as she desperately tries to destroy Janie’s life.
We’ll keep you posted on any news regarding the rest of the world.
Above is a copy of the DVD box art. As you can see they are tapping into Alexa Vega’s high profile due to various recent movie and TV roles. A large version of the image and a logo graphic have been added to the Gallery.
Nearer the time KM UK will be bring you some exclusive content, just for you fans of Kathryn.
 Normally with these little visits to past public appearances I generally try and make them seasonally relevant. The recent awards event photos posted within a few days of the most recent ceremonies. That kind of thing.
This update, however, has been triggered by the unearthing of a video in which Kathryn features. But that doesn’t mean we can’t also make it topical.
I’ll explain.
Moves are afoot to make a TV series based on the Tom Cruise-starring, Steven Spielberg-directed movie Minority Report. Kathryn, of course, had a small but crucial role as the estranged ex-wife of Tom Cruise’s crime preventer Chief John Anderton.
In the past few weeks there has been news about the casting of the Fox-ordered pilot due to be set 10 years after the film. Start Sands (Generation Kill), Meagan Good (Cold Case episode ‘Soul’) will play the leads as both twin male Pre-cogs (they can see the future) and a Precrime officer respectively. Wilmer Valderrama (That ’70s Show) has recently been added to the cast as another police officer.
Links to the film are kept with Laura Regan (Mad Men) taking the Pre-cogs Agatha role as portrayed by Samantha Morton originally, and Daniel London actually reprising his part as Wally the caretaker.
Wouldn’t it be great if Kathryn’s Lara Clarke could also appear at some point as a way of linking back to John’s time in the Precrime unit and the events of the hit movie? Make it happen Hollywood!
Having not been included in the KM UK Gallery previously I have now added an album of various photos of Kathryn doing the red carpet walk in New York for the première of Minority Report. And, the video that triggered this post has also been added alongside the snapshots. Kathryn appears very briefly in middle of the clip answering a question about fate.
  
 Last week we had the 2005 ADGA (Art Directors Guild Awards). Today we’ve skipped B and gone straight to the CDGA, aka the Costume Designers Guild Awards. We’ve also skipped on by 12 months by taking another look at the event in 2006. Previously a set of photos were posted here in a 2010 update.
Kathryn was at the CDGA in 2005 supporting Cold Case costume designer Patia Prouty who worked on the show across the first three seasons. The premiere, Look Again, being the notable exception. Despite being nominated for the CDG Award three times between 2005 and 2007 Patia did not take the gold.
Since leaving CC Patia has worked on TV dramas Saving Grace and Justified. Currently she is designing costumes for the Cinemax series Banshee, starring, amongst others, Lili Simmons and Geno Segers. Both of those actors will be in the movie Bone Tomahawk, which Kathryn has a small role in. It’s a small world.
The 2015 CDGA happened a week ago. American Horror Show, Games Of Thrones and True Detective w on in their respective TV categories. Films du jour Birdman, Into The Woods and The Grand Budapest Hotel took the honours for movies.
A new (to the Gallery) photo of Kathryn looking very fetching in an off-the-shoulder red dress at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in 2006 is now in the KM UK Gallery.
Plus, you lucky people, we have 2 short videos of Kathryn on the red carpet at the event, the 2nd is an interview.
