 Moneyball is out on DVD and Blu-ray in the USA today, the 10th of Jan 2012.
I know there isn’t much for us Kathryn fans to see but the discs will have at least one, almost certainly only one in fact, deleted scene that features her in the role of Tara, Billy Beane’s second wife. Previously KM UK brought you an exclusive preview of the included deleted scene with Tara and Billy sharing a meal at a restaurant. Billy is, of course, played by Brad Pitt. Kathryn certainly filmed other scenes that were also cut from the film, it does not look like these will be released. A great shame indeed.
If you are in the US and pick up a copy of the home entertainment version of Moneyball please let us know what you think. What did you think of Kathryn’s performance?
Moneyball has certainly proved popular with the viewers and critics alike, and it has been nominated for multiple awards. The UK release of the DVD and Blu-ray is set for the 19th of March.
Update: This is the 500th article posted on KM UK.
Just before Xmas 2011 the trademark for Kathryn’s new production company, Revival House, was “approved for publication.”
The trademark covers the use of the name by a company for “Entertainment, namely, production of television shows and motion pictures.”
All though the lack of this approval would not have prevented the usage of the name, hopefully this small step is a good sign for things progressing in this area. Fingers cross for more news soon.
For those interest in the details you can them on the Trademarkia website.
 Next Tuesday (10th Jan 2012) sees the release of Moneyball on DVD/Blu-ray in its North American homeland. As with the movie’s cinematic release, here in the United Kingdom there will be a couple of months delay before we get the home entertainment version.
The DVD and Blu-ray versions are now up for pre-order on the Amazon UK website (other online movie retailers exist) ahead of the March 19th release. There are even “special edition” versions listed that include a copy of the original book by Michael Lewis. At time of writing the prices for the ones with the book are the same as those without. Go figure.
No word yet on the DVD extras and whether they will include the restaurant scene starring Kathryn that we previewed here on KM UK just before Xmas. Often European versions suffer compared to their American cousins because they have more language tracks to fit in. Some extras get dropped to make space. The Blu-ray is more likely to be the same due to the higher capacity and the fact that it is region free.
Moneyball will be making headlines, not necessarily on KM UK though, in the coming months as we get into awards season. It has already received a nomination in the Producers Guild Awards, due to be announced on January 21st, and is likely to be up for Oscars.
The usual blurb: Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when he is forced to rebuild his small-market team, on a limited budget.
Update: DVDizzy has a review of the US DVD/Blu-ray release. It mentions three deleted scenes on the DVD. The first involves Philip Seymour Hoffman. The third is a sort of different ending. Their description of the second reduces it to “Billy on a date”. That’d be the scene exclusively previewed here on KM UK before Xmas with Brad and Kathryn in a restaurant. Way to reduce her role even further, from wife to “date”! The Blu-ray extras don’t sound like they include any more scenes involving Kathryn. Other reviews I’ve found echo all that.
 Just a quick one to start the year off.
Monday (9th Jan 2011 2012) evening sees Cold Case début on the US television network ION. That’s earlier than I expected.
They are starting from the beginning with a triple bill of Look Again, Gleen and Our Boy Is Back, with further episodes each Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after that.
ION’s website has more details.
Update: Other days added.
Update 2: Oops, not having a great start to the year. 2011 corrected to 2012.
 Once you know there is a Twitter account and website it is not a big step to think that there might a be a Facebook page… And there is!
As with the Twitter account and website I’ve been aware of this page for a few days now, nearly a week in fact. I’ve not seen any sign of anyone else finding it, which is surprising. I guess that that is about to change. Don’t forget to tell them we sent you  For those keeping score that makes it 3-0 to KM UK, or is it 4?
The photo used for the Facebook profile (see left) is one of the set posted here yesterday, albeit slightly smaller and lower quality than one we brought to you, even in the larger of the two versions on there. This does strongly suggest that this is part of the same campaign, for want of a better word.
These are certainly interesting times to be a Kathryn Morris fan.
A link to the Facebook page is now in the menu on the right.
