The Coin Hits Portobello, London

poster_001This one’s for the Brits and apologies for the comparatively short notice.

Last week director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell let it be known that his short film The Coin had been added as an official selection in the Portobello Film Festival.  Not surprisingly the event is based around London’s famous Portobello Road, in the even more famous Notting Hill area of the UK capital.

portobello_free_film_festival_poster_511x485The Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts rom-com Notting Hill was partly filmed there and gave a taste of second-hand clothes, books and antiques market stalls and shops that Portobello Road is best known for.

Fabien was, not surprisingly, keen to tell the world but, for what ever reason, the official website for the festival was more reluctant.  It was only last night that The Coin was added to updated lists of the various film programmes that will be on offer when the event opens later today (7pm, 28th Aug).  Note that the official programme (a downloadable PDF on the site) does not include The Coin, probably due to its late inclusion.

The short film starring Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) gets a screening on the 6th September at the Westbourne Studios (242 Acklam Road, W10 5JJ) in an 11 hour film programme starting at 12 noon under the title “French Films”.  Obviously The Coin‘s connection to France is Fabien himself.  If, and it is a big if, the mixed bag of short and long films were to be played in the order shown and the timings are correct then The Coin would make an appearance at around 3pm.

The Portobello Film Festival runs until the 14th of September.  More details can be found on the website here.

Any of you Londoners, or those in London, in the area the weekend after next?  If so, we love to hear about your experience.

The Perfect Guy Gets A Date?

The new thriller film The Perfect Guy which will see Kathryn returning to the big screen in a small role recently started filming around LA.  In our initial reporting of the news a release some time next year was expected.  Not really a surprise given the normal timing of these things..

Now we might be able to be a little more precise.  This is not confirmed and is far from official but a date of 19th June 2015 has been seen.  Even if that is the currently intended release date these things are always subject to change.

Another additional detail is the inclusion of child actor Duncan Joiner to the cast list on the film’s IMDb page.  As the character Kathryn is said to be playing, Karen, has been described as a mother of boys it is a reasonable assumption to make that Duncan, as “Zach”, could be one of her sons.

For more details on The Perfect Guy see the previous KM UK post here.

Kathryn Added To The Perfect Guy On IMDb

imdb_logo_100x100It’s a minor thing really but tradition dictates that I post this update.

In the past 24 hours Kathryn’s name was added to expanding cast list of The Perfect Guy on the go-to movie info website IMDb.  Anyone can submit changes to IMDb (which are moderated) but her name appearing there feels like a milestone, as though it makes it official.

Holt McCallany is another recently announced addition to the cast.  You may not know the name but you would probably recognise the face.  Holt has been in movies like Fight Club, Gangster Squad, and Three Kings; as well as recurring roles in TV shows like CSI: Miami, Lights Out, Heroes, and Golden Boy.  In The Perfect Guy Holt is said to be playing a police detective.

The Perfect Guy‘s IMDB page is here and will be added to the menus on the right of the site.

The Perfect Guy Finds Karen

Deadline.com has posted a small news story about Kathryn joining the cast of The Perfect Guy.  We covered this news on KM UK last week.

However, reading a bit more closely reveals that the piece actually has a little more detail than mentioned previously.  We already know that Kathryn is to play a close friend of the lead character Leah (Sanaa Lathan).  Now we have the character name of Karen for the role.

Karen is apparently a mother to several boys.  I think Kathryn can nail that  :-)

The Perfect Guy Finds Kathryn

News!  We have news!

Just to get your inevitable question dealt with up front: yes I am a perfect guy, but I am not this perfect guy :-)

News broke over night that principal photography (that’s actual filming) began yesterday (6th August 2014) on a movie called The Perfect Guy.  It’s a thriller by director David Rosenthal (A Single Shot) and writer Tyger Williams (Menace II Society).

Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck) stars as Leah who, after breaking up with her long-time boyfriend, finds herself in a new relationship with the titular perfect guy, Carter, played by Michael Ealy (Almost Human).  Of course, no one is actually perfect (Kathryn excepted!) and so things take a turn for the worse for Leah when carter turns violent and starts to stalk her.  What do you expect, it’s a thriller called The Perfect Guy after all!

Morris Chestnut (Nurse Jackie) is the ex.  But what about Kathryn?

Kathryn, Charles S. Dutton (Alien3) and Rutina Wesley (True Blood) will be co-starring as close friends of Leah.  I think we can assume that this will be a relatively small role for Kathryn, but we very much welcome the news that she is returning to work a year after the birth of her twin boys.

The film by Screen Gems, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures, is currently listed as being released next year (2015).  There is nothing more specific than that at this time.

KM UK will of course bring you more news as we get it.
