 The entertainment industry news website Deadline broke the news that Matthew Morrison (Glee) and Kara Wang (Top Gun: Maverick “Top Gun: Maverick!”) are headlining a new movie called From Embers.
As you will guess as it is being reported on this site, Kathryn has a role in the film. Much like in the photo above taken on set, Kathryn’s part is likely to be quite small.
From Embers, which looks like it was known as From Ashes until recently, is written and directed by Kate Bohan (Harper). The plot involves Lily (Kara Wang) as a single mother dealing with the sudden and dramatic death of her husband, and trying to find out what happened. Matthew Morrison is a neighbour, a father to a young teen girl, an artist, with his own struggles. The daughter is played by Kate’s own daughter Kayla, who has starred in Kate’s previous films such as Harper. There is an element of autobiography in Kate’s work, as she lost her first husband. Harper is based somewhat on her own life.
One thing that may have drawn Kathryn to this project is that Lily’s son is autistic. I am sure she is keen to see accurate and positive portrayals of people with autism in the wider media.
The film is now in post-production, having started filming in July and completed in October. The process was interrupted for a few days in July due to the SAG-AFTRA strike action which halted so much TV and film production across the summer of 2023. Some small independent productions were given waivers to allow them to continue though. The union’s issues were with the big studios and they recognised the impact that the shut-downs would have on those outside of those systems. From Embers was granted a dispensation with an “Interim Agreement”. You may have noticed over the summer a lot more film directors giving interviews about their latest movies and actors only talking about specific work, and not allowed to discuss other projects. This was part of these agreements with the unions.
Here on KM UK we will certainly be tracking the progress of this film in the coming months.

 Distributor DYNMC Films have released an official trailer for the movie Hayseed ahead of a limited cinematic run and a date for the film to made available via streaming. It’s all go-go-go on the Hayseed front.
After a sold out screening on in Brooklyn, New York, here are a set of dates and locations for the limited theatrical release of Hayseed:
7th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle Royal
8th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle NoHo 7
13th Nov, Detroit, MI – Emagine Royal Oak
14th Nov, Ann Arbor, MI – Emagine Saline
15th Nov, Lansing, MI – Celebration Cinema
16th Nov, Grand Rapids, MI – Wealthy Theatre
21st Nov, New York, NY – Village East by Angelika
That second one is in bold for a reason. Kathryn and her co-star Marta Piekarz (Queer As Folk) are due to attend a Q&A at the Laemmle NoHo7 event on the 8th in Los Angeles. Looks like it is a 7pm start time for the screening.
What’s more the film is due to get what is being called a ‘digital release’ on the 21st November. Presumably this is on streaming platforms, though which is not clear yet.
You can watch the official Hayseed release trailer on YouTube HERE.
A handful of screencaps from the trailer have been added to the Gallery. They are very similar to the previous trailer we covered but with better picture quality. There is also a very high resolution still and new posters.
  
 The movie Hayseed will be featuring at the first ever Pottstown Film Fest later this week.
The event is two days long, with the opening night being dedicated to short films. Hayseed closes out the second evening of entertainment.
For those that don’t know, and their can’t be many of you, Pottstown is a borough of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in the US of A. All of you Cold Case fans really should know this as it is around 30 miles (45km) outside Philadelphia 
The film festival is the brain child of actor and Pottstown native, Kyle Klaus. He both acted in and is a producer on Hayseed. The festival is part of the Manhattan Short 2023 event which, despite the name, takes place in venue all over America.
Kyle’s previous acting credits include drama the series The Blacklist and FBI. He is starring in an upcoming movie called Ballad Of A Hustler, due to première in a Brazilian film festival next week, and a short film called Roundabout which opens an upcoming film festival in Pottstown.
Hang on a minute!!! You mean this man has created a new film festival in his home town and the first and last films to feature are ones he is in!? Fair play to the man.
Not surprisingly Kyle will be making an appearance at his own festival, notably in a Q&A with Hayseed writer/director Travis Burgess after the film’s screening on Friday night.

Let’s kick it
In a few days time (11th August 2023) a new version of the 1991 ‘classic’ movie Cool As Ice will be released by the German label Turbine Medien.
Ice is back with a brand new invention
Well, not really. The movie itself is the same. This new Blu-ray release is all about the extra features. There are actually various versions being made available, each in limited numbers, and there is one that combines them all. Plus, one with all that and a baseball cap.
Check out the hook while my DVD revolves it
The extras include a commentaries, interviews, books, and a DVD version in original 4:3 SD format.
We make it hype and you want to step with this
The four main variants are each is limited to 500 instances. The all-in-one + cap is only 32 in number. An odd choice of number, maybe they couldn’t get any more caps.
If there was a problem, Yo, I’ll solve it
Much more information on this new Cool As Ice release can be seen on the distributor’s website HERE. and they’ve released a trailer on YouTube HERE. There’s a brief glimpse of Kathryn from one of her two scenes at around the 20 second mark. See the previous post HERE on KM UK for more details on the movie itself.
Yo man, let’s get out of here
Word to your mother
 
 This early part of the year is often called Awards Season. Lots of ceremonies happen around now. We’ve already had the Golden Globes (television & films), the Grammys (music). Last weekend it was the movie BAFTAs in the UK. Tomorrow (26th Feb) it will be the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which we’ve seen Kathryn attend before. Soon it will be the 2023 Oscars, which will be considered very dull unless there is a full-on punch-up. And that’s just the entertainment industry! We’ve not mentioned any sports or computer games events to name just two more.
Here on KM UK it is more like Festival Season.
The latest news on the new movie Hayseed, in which Kathryn has a small role, is another film festival appearance.
The independent crime thriller/mystery/comedy has been official selected for the Capital City Film Festival 2023. The CCFF takes place in Lansing, Michigan in the US of A across 11 days in the first half of April. Lansing, which many may not realise is the state capital city of Michigan is around 60 miles (110km) west of the better known Detroit.
Details on screening times have not been announced yet, nor a complete set of films due to be shown. We’ll certainly bring those to you when we can. Tickets allowing access to the whole event are available already.
More details on the CCFF 2023 festival can be seen on their website HERE.
This earlier post on KM UK post HERE gives more details on Hayseed.
