Anyone can submit updates to IMDb so it could very well be one of you that entered the information and the staff of IMDb having seen the recent news reports has gone with it. Was it you? You can find the Confections… IMDb page HERE.
Confections Of A Discarded Woman is said to be a rom-com produced by the Motion Picture Corporation Of America and directed by Michael Damian (Flicka 2). To quote from Variety:
Read the article in full on the Variety website HERE. More when we get it.
As luck would have it it ties with the many-themed 2007 posts we’ve been running. Back in February, the 13th to be precise, the movie Resurrecting The Champ was released on DVD here in Great Britain. If IMDb is to be believed (and I’ve no reason not to) then this is the first official release of RTC in the UK. Quite why it has taken 5 years is unknown. And why did Momentum Pictures choose now to release it? Anyway, what we have is the most basic of DVDs. It’s just the film. No extras. At least they haven’t claimed “interactive menus” (what else could a menu be?) as a feature! There is no accompanying Blu-ray version either. Reflecting the limited nature of the package is the low cost, it’s a cheap £6.49 (~US$10). For those that don’t know RTC tells the tale of Erik (Josh Hartnet) a struggling newspaper sports reporter who comes across a now homeless ex-champion boxer (Samuel L Jackson). Erik seizes the opportunity to pen a potentially career-making article. Hilarity ensues. OK, it’s not so much with the hilarity.
This is another Rod Lurie directed film, one of several that has Kathryn had roles in. Alan Alda (M*A*S*H), Terri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives) and Rachel Nichols (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) also star. You can buy Resurrecting The Champ on UK DVD from Amazon.co.uk and find newly added copies of the DVD cover and a poster in the Gallery.
A couple of days ago (10 April 2012) the trademark process for the name Revival House, Kathryn’s production company, reached another milestone. As we detailed previously, the period of time for people to raise objections ended in mid-March. No opposition was filed so now it passes to the next stage: Notice Of Allowance or NOA. The NOA means use of the trademark must be supplied in a Statement Of Use (SOU) to the USPTO within the next 6 months. If, for whatever reason, that is insufficient time an Extension Request must be filed. Extensions will only be issued for three years. If a deadline passes without an SOU or Extension Request then the mark will be abandoned, as happened with Kathryn’s earlier company Hotplate Productions. At the time of going to press the Trademarkia website has not been updated with this most recent change.
The film, starring Kathryn as the mother of a boy suffering at the hands of a bully, will be shown in a set of short films under the title Don’t Cut Your Family Short starting at 4pm (PST) on the 1st of May 2012. You can see more details of the screening on the Festival Genius website. The Festival’s own website is HERE. We’ll bring you more news on this as we get it. KM UK has been directly involved in backing and promoting Sunday’s Mother since we first heard about it last year. The Kickstarter funded project was filmed last July and has been applying for festivals since post-production ended in September. See all the Sunday’s Mother posts on KM UK for more details. |
