 The promised ‘two weeks from this coming Friday’ is nearly here.
The Mankato, Minnesota, based Speechless Film Festival, starts this in a few days.
The short film The Coin. which sees Kathryn star alongside Back To The Future actor Christopher Lloyd as the stressed mother of a young boy, will be screened at the Cine Grand venue on Friday at 7pm.
Buy the VIP Festival Pass and you could attend a special second presentation of the film on Saturday lunchtime, 1pm.
As part of the “Young Drama” selection, Fabien Martorell’s short will be sharing the bill with four other projects, mostly from the USA as well.
The SFF official website HERE has all the details.
 Normally with these little visits to past public appearances I generally try and make them seasonally relevant. The recent awards event photos posted within a few days of the most recent ceremonies. That kind of thing.
This update, however, has been triggered by the unearthing of a video in which Kathryn features. But that doesn’t mean we can’t also make it topical.
I’ll explain.
Moves are afoot to make a TV series based on the Tom Cruise-starring, Steven Spielberg-directed movie Minority Report. Kathryn, of course, had a small but crucial role as the estranged ex-wife of Tom Cruise’s crime preventer Chief John Anderton.
In the past few weeks there has been news about the casting of the Fox-ordered pilot due to be set 10 years after the film. Start Sands (Generation Kill), Meagan Good (Cold Case episode ‘Soul’) will play the leads as both twin male Pre-cogs (they can see the future) and a Precrime officer respectively. Wilmer Valderrama (That ’70s Show) has recently been added to the cast as another police officer.
Links to the film are kept with Laura Regan (Mad Men) taking the Pre-cogs Agatha role as portrayed by Samantha Morton originally, and Daniel London actually reprising his part as Wally the caretaker.
Wouldn’t it be great if Kathryn’s Lara Clarke could also appear at some point as a way of linking back to John’s time in the Precrime unit and the events of the hit movie? Make it happen Hollywood!
Having not been included in the KM UK Gallery previously I have now added an album of various photos of Kathryn doing the red carpet walk in New York for the première of Minority Report. And, the video that triggered this post has also been added alongside the snapshots. Kathryn appears very briefly in middle of the clip answering a question about fate.
  
Two weeks from this coming Friday sees the start of the Speechless Film Festival, held in Mankato, Minnesota.
The screening schedule for the event has been released so we get to see when we can get to see Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin.
7pm on the 20th at the Cine Grand is the first opportunity. For those with VIP Festival Passes, which entitle you see everything as well as getting access to some VIP lounges, there is a 2nd screening at Studio Six on the Saturday afternoon at 1pm.
The Coin will be one of a five films grouped under the banner “Young Drama”. The others in the set are also American, apart from one British interloper. Elsewhere the festival has a more international feel with films from Canada, Turkey, Israel, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Iran, Poland, and Romania and Bulgaria.
As well as the more basic genre descriptions (documentary, thriller, animation etc.) the various categories of film include titles such as “The Gauntlet“, “Solitare”, “Tales Of Passion” and “Visual Music”.
Tickets and information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
 Last week we had the 2005 ADGA (Art Directors Guild Awards). Today we’ve skipped B and gone straight to the CDGA, aka the Costume Designers Guild Awards. We’ve also skipped on by 12 months by taking another look at the event in 2006. Previously a set of photos were posted here in a 2010 update.
Kathryn was at the CDGA in 2005 supporting Cold Case costume designer Patia Prouty who worked on the show across the first three seasons. The premiere, Look Again, being the notable exception. Despite being nominated for the CDG Award three times between 2005 and 2007 Patia did not take the gold.
Since leaving CC Patia has worked on TV dramas Saving Grace and Justified. Currently she is designing costumes for the Cinemax series Banshee, starring, amongst others, Lili Simmons and Geno Segers. Both of those actors will be in the movie Bone Tomahawk, which Kathryn has a small role in. It’s a small world.
The 2015 CDGA happened a week ago. American Horror Show, Games Of Thrones and True Detective w on in their respective TV categories. Films du jour Birdman, Into The Woods and The Grand Budapest Hotel took the honours for movies.
A new (to the Gallery) photo of Kathryn looking very fetching in an off-the-shoulder red dress at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in 2006 is now in the KM UK Gallery.
Plus, you lucky people, we have 2 short videos of Kathryn on the red carpet at the event, the 2nd is an interview.
 And the winner is… All of us!
We’d like to accept this award on behalf of all of us. Thank you to everyone that made it possible. Who ever invented the camera, the digital camera, the Internet, Twitter, Instagram, the party organisers, Hollywood, that white dog with a bullseye for an eye (what’s that about?), our parents, (and Johnny)…
Kathryn (and Johnny) attended the 2015 Motion Picture & Television Fund’s annual The Night Before The Oscars Party party. As she (and Johnny) did in 2013.
Johnny very helpfully posted a copy of a photo of the lovely couple (and Johnny) on his Instagram feed. Many thanks to him. It has instantly become our favourite photo of Kathryn (and Johnny) in 2015 😉
It is in the KM UK Gallery.
Hopefully I’ll be able to update with more later.
