Kathryn @ Jerry Bruckheimer Book Launch – Update

Hello mummy!

Someone in LA got a few bucks for babysitting last night (29 October 2013) because Kathryn and Johnny were out at a public event for the first time (that we know of) since the birth of their twin sons in August. They tore themselves aware from childcare duties to attend the launch party for a new book about the prolific film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The tome, Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightning Strikes – Four Decades Of Filmmaking, covers Bruckheimer’s career from an early stint in advertising to producing some of the most successful movies and television shows in Hollywood history. The Pirates Of The Caribbean films, the CSI TV shows, Top Gun, Bad Boys, The Amazing Race, Pearl Harbor, National Treasure, Coyote Ugly, Con Air etc. etc. etc. were produced by him. And Cold Case of course. Some of those big film series are getting further sequels in the coming years too.

Written by Michael Singer, a long time collaborator of Bruckheimers, with publicist credits in many of his productions, and with a foreword by Johnny Depp, the book is due for launch in the US at the end of December. It is listed on Amazon’s US website HERE (other book stores are available).

Amazon’s UK arm has it down for release in mid-December, as seen HERE. Suck on that America!

So far we only have 2 small photos of Kathryn at the book launch. Both have been added to the Gallery. I’ll endeavour to find larger versions and bring them to you.

Update (2 Nov): Both the photos have now been super-sized. Many thanks to the lovely Alexia from the lovely emilia-fox.com, which is all about the lovely actress Emilia Fox, and her lovely, yet nameless, friend for helping out with this. Lovely.

Kathryn @ Ninten-do – October 2002

Welcome back to KM UK’s nostalgia corner.

We’re on the verge a new era of computer game consoles as Sony and Microsoft lock controllers in the battle to be the best of the 8th generation machines. The Xbox One (stupid name for the 3rd version) and PlayStation 4 (predictable name for the fourth) will be both hit the shelves in the coming month, varying slightly depending on manufacturer and region. I’ve not forgotten the Wii U launched a year ago, but everyone else appears to have done so.

Here we look back to the re-launch of a much loved 6th generation machine: the Nintendo GameCube. By this time the PS2 had been around a couple of years. The actual Xbox 1 was approaching it’s first anniversary, and the increasingly forgotten Sega Dreamcast was already ageing badly at 3. Being ahead of your time doesn’t always go well.

Nintendo chose to give their GameCube a glittery make-over just prior to the beginning of the all-important holiday period in the United States. The limited edition Platinum GC received a star-studded send off at Nintendo’s Gone Platinum Party, which took place on October 23rd, 2002. Eleven years ago!

If you want to launch something cute and shiny, invite someone that really shines and is very cute. Ladies and gentleman: Kathryn Morris.

See how it all ties up? I don’t just throw this stuff together you know!

2 Br/1 Ba Teaser Trailers

A little over a year has passed since we first heard about the film 2 Br/1 Ba, and slightly less since they finished filming it. In the intervening period things have gone a bit quiet on the 2 Br/1 Ba front. Those involved in the project have been very busy though.

Lead actress Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) has seen the release of Machete Kills, the follow-up to Robert Rodriguez’s Machete. The original Machete film was based on one of a number of fake trailers for movies seen in the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino film Grindhouse, which also starred Cold Case‘s Tracie Thoms. The Machete character, as played by Danny Trejo (From Dusk Till Dawn), first appeared in the kids film Spy Kids which starred Alexa Vega and was directed by Robert Rodriguez. Phew! Is anyone following this?

Co-lead actress Spencer Gammer (TV show Greek) on the other hand has done more TV work with a guest role on CSI early this year and new for autumn 2013 NBC drama Ironside. Based on the long-running TV show from the 60s and 70s, starring Raymond Burr as a wheelchair-bound detective, the new Ironside has had a very short run indeed. Just last week the network cancelled the show after only three episodes had aired. I understand that one more will be shown this week before the show is replaced by repeats and a new programme in January.

Richard Riehle (Office Space) continues to be the hardest working man in Hollywood with far too many recent and upcoming projects to mention here.

But why single out those three? you ask. Good question. Because all of them can be seen in two short teaser trailers for 2 Br/1 Ba now available in the KM UK Gallery. Sadly, other than her name being shown towards the end of each 40 second long piece Kathryn does not appear. I’ve posted them because they give you some ideas as to the content and style of the film.

While we’re on the subject of those involved in 2 Br/1 Ba we’ll cover a couple of others.

2 Br/1 Ba Producer Tenille Houston (She Wants Me) starred in the much talked about film The Canyons. Perhaps ‘notorious’ is a better word for it as the off-screen antics of star Lindsay Lohan was making headlines throughout filming.

Co-producer Kristen Ruhlin (She Wants Me and banner image) has also had a busy time of late. She got married to this film’s director Rob Margolies earlier this year. Thanks to a new podcast interview with Austin Mitchell (for English people of a certain age: not that one) for his Broken Legs podcast we’ve learnt that they are expecting their first child together in December. Congratulations all round to Kristen & Rob.

In the interview (available HERE on iTunes, 2 Br/1 Ba is mentioned in the last 10 minutes of the lengthy chat) Kristen mentions that they are currently looking for a buyer for the film. KM UK will, of course, let you know more when we can.

Cold Case Season 2 Promo Photo Embiggening

I can’t carry off the black polo next and blue jeans with quite the confidence of Steve Jobs but can bring a surprise “one more thing” to the KM UK Summer Of HD 2013, which ended last week.

It took me a while to remember why a long-standing reminder to update the Cold Case season 2 promo photos even existed. The images are already in the Gallery and at quite a high resolution too. I had forgotten that KM UK’s old hosting limited the image size. The images had been shrunk to fit. Part of the reason for making the move back in May of 2010 was to accommodate images of any size to bring you the best available.

As we have just finished a retrospective of Cold Case season 2 it makes sense to finally bring you a super-sized upgrade to the promo photos from that year. Number two is a massive 3750×5000 pixels. Plus, we have a new small photo (see above).

5 enlarged promo stills and 1 new addition can now be found in the Gallery.

Cold Case S02E23 – The Woods Full HD Screencaps

Summer is not officially over in the UK and the English summer has rallied somewhat as we entered October. Still, after five months we have finally come to the end of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2013. We’re going out in style though.
