And probably not yet ‘in the can’ either.
Starting today (11th May) on the south coast of France is the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. The 69th in its history no less.
Awesomeness Films, the production company behind the upcoming teen drama You Get Me starring Bella Thorne (Blended), will be in the French resort to promote some of its offerings to distributors. Cannes is more of a trade show than a film festival.
You Get Me is, as far as we know, still being filmed so discussion of the movie at the event will be as much about gauging reaction to the genre as generating sales. If regional distributors feel they can attract local audiences with certain types of films it will guide company’s future projects.
We don’t know much about You Get Me so far beyond the principal cast, some plot elements, and that Kathryn has been mentioned as being in it. No specifics yet. You can see what have so far in the previous post HERE.
No release date has been… released… but this year seems likely.
 There is something deeply unsettling about the idea of a faceless entity arbitrarily dividing the human race up for unknown reasons.
Are you in area 2? Do those in area 1 seem to have it much better?
But that’s enough about DVD region codes…
July 12th, 2016 sees the first season DVD release of the TV series Colony. In America that is. It is on the country’s local Amazon website here. The price at present is $24.
The USA Network’s 10 episode sci-fi-ish show will be in a three disc box set. Along with a behind-the-scenes documentary, that was aired before the first episode went out, there is said to be some deleted scenes.
Publicity photos of Kathryn in the show included shots from scenes we’ve not seen. Could they be part of the extras?
Colony is set in a modern day earth that is under the control of aliens. The world’s defences have been disabled and what is left of humankind has been allowed to remain living in walled-off ‘blocks’ of major urban centres like Los Angeles. Josh Holloway (Lost) and Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead) are a husband and wife that find themselves on opposite sides of collaborate/resist divide. He’s a works as an agent for the security services keeping the peace for the ‘hosts’. She’s trying to help the fight-back against the oppressive regime. Both are doing so for the sake of their family.
Kathryn guest stars in three episodes as an art curator in the more comfortably accommodated ‘green zone’. She’s also the wife of Adrian Pasdar’s (Heroes) politician who has ambitions of moving up the power tree.
There are three images showing the DVD box art now in the Gallery.
 Hello!
Oi! I’m over here!
Left a little more!
Glad to see you finally managed to drag yourself away for a moment  Can’t blame you though. It is more than a little captivating isn’t it? I didn’t need a good excuse to post it again, but I’ve got one anyway.
Last week it was announced that WOWOW TV in Japan had signed a deal with Warner Bros. to create their own local version of Cold Case.
The new production is said to be made up of 10 episodes which will première in October of this year (2016). The wording in the press release says that that number have “already been commissioned”, so it could very well be added to before broadcasting starts.
The plan appears to be to take the essence of Cold Case, that it is about the people and their stories and not the science or gun fights, and write new tales around that ethos. Japan has an incredibly rich history to draw from and huge capacity for story telling so I am sure they will not be short of ideas.
Although it wasn’t said in the official statement, according to an IMDb listing the show is called Cold Case: Shinjitsu no Tobira. A few attempts by me at translating have come up with ‘Shinjitsu’ meaning something like ‘truth’ and ‘Tobira’ as ‘door’ or ‘opening’. So, it could be something like ‘door to truth’. If any of our Japanese friends want to help out please comment below.
WOWOW TV has broadcast the whole of the original Cold Case in Japan. The event pictured is Kathryn’s 2007 visit to Tokyo promoting the 3rd season of the show. Enjoy more details (and pictures!) here. The day before that she also took in the Japanese première of a Harry Potter movie, as posted about here.
The full Warner Bros. International Television/WOWOW TV press release can be seen here at the Broadcasting Cable website.
There is also an official WOWOW TV website (in Japanese of course) for the show to be found here.
 I’m not writing ‘trumps’, the word has lost all comic value.
The Coin continues to prove itself a long-term short. It’s still pulling in further garlands after four years on the festival circuit.
At the Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival on Sunday (24th April 2016) Fabien Martorell won ‘Best Director Medium’ (presumably that means The Coin is classed as a not-so-short) for his work.
Congratulations to Fabien and the team for taking another award.
Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) was nominated in the ‘Best Actor Medium’ (again a reference to the film length and not the TV show or the actor’s height) category. Kathryn was cruelly overlooked in the similar section for Actresses. She did some top quality shouting.
The film was also up for the contradictorily named ‘Best Short Medium’ and ‘Best Concept’. I guess it came up… short in those 😉
OK, not quite that.
Actually, you had me at ‘and Kathryn Morris’.
I know next to nothing about this beyond what you see below. The website Rama’s Screen has posted a press release it received for a new movie thriller called You Get Me. It stars Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!), Halston Sage (Crisis), and Kathryn apparently.
There is no description of Kathryn’s role so we’ll just have to wait for more news.
It is exciting to think that Kathryn will be heading back to the big screen again.
LOS ANGELES (April 21, 2016) – Awesomeness Films announced that it began production on YOU GET ME this week in Los Angeles. Joining previously announced stars Bella Thorne and Halston Sage are: Taylor John Smith (AMERICAN CRIME) as Tyler, Anna Akana (ANT-MAN) as Lydia, and Nash Grier (THE OUTFIELD) as Gil. Also, rounding out the cast are: Garcelle Beauvais (WHITE HOUSE DOWN; FLIGHT), Jennifer Esposito (THE AFFAIR; CRASH), and Kathryn Morris (COLD CASE; MINORITY REPORT). This star powered film has a combined social reach of over 52 million and is produced by Awesomeness Films’ Brian Robbins and Matt Kaplan, alongside Nicki Cortese. The script was written by Ben Epstein (HAPPYLAND) and is the feature debut for director Brent Bonacorso.
Production wraps in May, at which time Good Universe will handle international sales at Cannes Film Festival.
“We’re excited about the dynamic cast for YOU GET ME and know their talent coupled with Brent Bonacorso’s stylized vision will create the kind of psychological thriller that will resonate with this generation,” said Matt Kaplan, President of Awesomeness Films.
After an argument with his perfect girlfriend Alison (Halston Sage), Tyler (Taylor John Smith) has a one-night stand with sexy out-of-towner Holly (Bella Thorne). The morning after, Alison agrees to take him back but Holly is now a student at their school who refuses to allow their “romance” to end, resulting in a dangerous obsession with him.
Smith is represented by CAA and Cohen Entertainment; Akana is represented by UTA and The Coronel Group; Grier is represented by Legacy Talent and Entertainment; Beauvais is represented by Stone Manners Salners Agency and Gilbertson Entertainment; Esposito is represented by CAA and GSA Entertainment; Morris is represented by Gersh and Atlas Artists.
