Sendera?

Yes, Sendera.  That’s the title of the soap opera that Kathryn and Eva Longoria Parker are co-producing for the ABC television network in the US.  The one Kathryn mentioned in an interview at the Environmental Media Association Awards earlier this year. The signing of the deal has been on the cards for over a month but it must now have been completed.

Kathryn’s Hotplate Productions, Eva’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment and ABC Studios are co-creating the drama about two wealthy families, one either side of the Texas-Mexico border, and their on-going feud.

It seems that Kathryn, Alan Barnette, Josh Gold and Sally Robinson (script writer) developed the show with Eva and Virginia Trinkle (Unbelievable) joining Kathryn, Alan and Sally as executive producers.

It may be unrelated but there is a neighbourhood of Oak Hill in Austin, Texas called Sendera.  The word is also Catalan for “path”.

Read the story, as broken by Nellie Andreeva, at Deadline.com.  Variety have their take on the story here.

Moneyball Due 23 September 2011

According to various sources Moneyball‘s release date has been narrowed down to Friday 23 September 2011.  Previously Kathryn informed us it was planned for September, without mentioning a specific day.

See ComingSoon.net, Box Office Mojo and Collider.com (reporting on the Box Office Mojo piece).

Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s baseball team.  Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright co-star in the film adaptation of Michael Lewis’ book of the same name.

Thanks to IcyWinter for the heads-up.

KM/ELP Co-Production

In one of the interviews Kathryn gave at the recent Environmental Media Association Awards she mentioned a “night time soap” she was producing with Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker.

I’ve been trying to track down more on this show since then.

No details so far but I understand that the deal with ABC to buy the show that Kathryn referred to is not quite done, yet.

I expect more news on this soon.

Pensacola: Discs Of Silver – European Edition

Every so often I search for older shows of Kathryn’s appearing on DVD just in case anything new turns up.  I certainly didn’t expect a European DVD boxset release of Pensacola: Wings Of Gold to appear.  You can find it here on the Amazon UK site.  I don’t know how long it has been there, it can’t be very long.  I did have my doubts about it, but it’s true, this really is season 1 of P:WOG.

All the images and actor names on the box suggest that it is season 2 or 3, the ones without Kathryn.  However, it does say “Seizoen 1” on the spine of the case.  Yes, this has been put together by a Dutch company, a fact reflected in all the text on the box being in Dutch and the presence of Dutch subtitles, but the soundtracks are in English.  Being European the DVDs are set to Region 2 so the discs are only playable in compatible European DVD players.  Sadly there are no extras, just the 22 episodes.  Make sure you buy a copy immediately.

P:WOG is an action drama series from the 1990s starring James Brolin as Lt. Col. Bill Kelly, a veteran Marine put in charge of a small squad of elite soldiers that take on special missions.  Season 1 saw Kathryn star as Lt. Annalisa Lindstrom, the helicopter pilot extraordinare of the team.

Screencaps from each episode can already be found in the Gallery.  I hope to replace these with new improved versions in the near future.  Previous P:WOG posts can be found here.

Moneyball Due September 2011

According to Kathryn in an interview she did at the Environmental Media Association Awards, the movie Moneyball is due for release in September 2011.

That seems like a long way off for such a movie, one that doesn’t require huge amounts of post-production.  I’ve seen it suggested that a good time to release the movie would be just before the beginning of the next baseball season.  I don’t know when that is exactly, but I’d assume some time in the spring.

The video was added to the earlier EMAA post and can be found in the Gallery here.  It’s the 2nd interview video.
