Speaking of Hawaii Five-O… No, actually that (including in its 2010 revived form) is one of the few recent cop-shows that Jerry Bruckheimer has not had anything to do with.
In late October of last year we saw one of the few public appearances in 2013 by Kathryn. The event was the launch of Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightning Strikes – Four Decades Of Filmmaking, a book chronicling the life of film and TV producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry and his company JBTV are behind such TV shows as the CSI triumvirate and, of course, Cold Case. The book was on sale from mid-December.
In that previous post I used the word ‘tome’ just as another word for book. However, the more correct usage in referring to large, heavy books was more accurate than I could have thought. The phrase ‘weighty tome’ would be more appropriate. It’s not so much a coffee table book, more of a coffee table. Stick four legs on it and you’ve got a significant piece of furniture. At 41.5 x 28.2 x 3cm (16.3 x 11.1 x 1.2″) it’s a whole lot of book. Roughly A3-sized for those outside the US. And it weighs a fair bit too so you get a lot of book for your money.
I won’t bore you with too much detail but When Lightning Strikes covers Jerry’s whole life as well as his career in film and TV through words as well as hundreds of photos from behind the scenes as well as stills from dozens of projects. Fans of the Pirates Of The Caribbean films (how many of been released? four? with at least two more on the way! that’s films not fans 😉 ) will be particularly interested in a foreword by Johnny Depp and whole section dedicated to the monster franchise.
So what about Cold Case and our Kathryn?
