Kathryn @ CBS Stars Party – July 2004

The last public appearance post I did was an update from 2004. The most recent (though it shouldn’t have been) entry in the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 series was the Cold Case episode Colors, which was about a baseball player in the 1940s. In the post I made joking reference to the CC squad playing baseball.

This update neatly ties those two key elements together, apart from the bit about the squad playing baseball. I’m not going to claim it was planned that way, but it worked out well.

On the 18th of July of 2004 much of the key cast Cold Case cast were promoting the upcoming second season. They stopped off in the Dodger Stadium (that’s baseball right?) for the CBS Stars Party. It was hardly an arduous trek as the venue is in central Los Angeles, close to Hollywood.

The photos, such as the one above, of Kathryn, Danny Pino, Thom Barry and Jeremy Ratchford make for the simplest game of Where’s Wenda? ever. I know that sounds wrong but look it up and you’ll find I’m right

It’s a small but perfectly formed update of 6 little photos added to The Gallery.

The Coin In Hollywood Tomorrow

egyptian_theatre_430x180

Just a quick reminder that The Coin will be screened as part of the ‘Local Shorts’ programme at the Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood, tomorrow night (17th July).

‘ screenshot_001 Local’ because the film makers are all based locally, though, like The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell they may not all be born/bred in the region.

‘Shorts’ because none of the films are particularly long, but then you knew that. The longest two on the bill of eight are listed as 20 minutes in duration. The total running time looks to be around 90 minutes, give or take.

As mentioned previously the event starts at 7:30pm at the Hollywood Boulevard-located theatre.

More details and ticket booking facilities can be found on the American Cinematheque website.

Emmy Awards 2004 Arrivals Photo Update

The nominations for the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced yesterday.

Several things were notable by their absence. Cold Case, Kathryn and KM UK. Of course, only two of those things were ever actually eligible for an Emmy, and just one of them was ever nominated. Cold Case was up for an “Art Direction” trophy for Factory Girls (S02E02) back in 2005.

But we’re not bitter. Oh, no 😕

The 2014 nominations for the awards ceremony to be held in late August include a lot of British actors and shows, Downton Abbey being probably the best known around the world. Comedian Ricky Gervais’ is listed for his work in the often very moving comedy drama Derek. Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Maggie Smith and Joanne Froggatt (all of Downton Abbey); Chiwetel Ejiofor (Dancing On The Edge), Diana Rigg (Game Of Thrones), Martin Freeman (Fargo and Sherlock), Helena Bonham Carter (Burton And Taylor), Idris Elba (Luther), Daniel Craig (One Life), Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart), Cat Deeley (So You Think You Can Dance), Jeremy Irons (Game Of Lions), Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes), and Minnie Driver (Return To Zero) all gets nods. As do the shows Luther, The White Queen, Sherlock Holmes and Downton Abbey.

As we often struggle to win things directly here in the UK (see the results in the recent World Cup and Wimbledon) we like to try and latch onto any success we can by association. There are lots of connections with the United Kingdom throughout the Emmy nominations list this year. As covered in some depth here on KM UK recently Veep has a lot of British input. Game Of Thrones is largely filmed with the Northern Ireland. Episodes is a UK/USA co-production mostly filmed in England. House Of Cards is based on a British drama series and we’ve half adopted its star Kevin Spacey as he’s been here a few years running the Old Vic theatre in London. Dancing With The Stars, Antiques Roadshow and Who Do You Think You Are? we’ll claim too as they are exported BBC properties.

Looking down the full list of nominations I’m surprised to see multiple awards shows (Golden Globes and Tonys) up for awards. Isn’t there a danger that awards shows giving other awards shows award will cause some rift in the space-time continuum and cause a blackhole or something 😮 It just sounds like a bad idea.

No doubt you have your own thoughts on the 2014 Primatime Emmy Awards nominations. Good, bad, indifferent?

Where was I? Oh, yes. Back in September of 2004 Kathryn attended the Primetime Emmy Awards. We’ve covered it before here on KM UK, and we will do again, but for now but yesterday’s announcements seemed like very good excuse (not that we need one really) to revisit this event and bring you 30, yes thirty, extra photos of Kathryn arriving at the event. She looks amazing in her long red dress.

I’d like draw your attention in particular to the image in the top right of this post. It was kindly donate to KM UK by our friend Alexia over at Emilia Fox Online. Many thanks to her. It’s a nice large image, which is nice, and large.

The Gallery is where you will find them all.

The Coin Walks Like Egyptian

egyptian_theatre_430x180 For those that can’t wait until the beginning of August to see the short film The Coin there’s good news.

screenshot_001 The film has been included in a collection of short films to be shown at the famous Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California, in a couple of weeks. You may recognise the theatre as the one where the première of Cougars, Inc. was held at back in 2011.

Under the banner of ‘Local Shorts’, because all the directors are based in LA, a total of eight films will be shown, three of them are LA premières.

The screening will start at 7:30pm, Thursday, 17th July at the venue on Hollywood Boulevard. Tickets are $11.

You can find more details on the American Cinematheque website. A word of warning: if you choose to watch the trailer for It’s A Lovely Day, don’t do so if you have a headache

Thanks to Fabien Martorell (the writer/director/producer of The Coin) again for letting us know.

The Coin At The San Antonio Film Festival

I don’t know exactly when this was happened, as there has been no fanfare about it yet, but the San Antonio Film Festival schedule has been released.

screenshot_001 And what does this schedule tell us? It tells us what is happening and when. That’s what schedules are for after all. Was it really that difficult a question?

Of particular interest to us of course is what the timetable says about when The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell that stars Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd, gets a screening in Texas. Two weeks ago we found out that the film was an official selection of the festival.

The Coin will be part of a set of 5 films to shown at the City Base Cinema, Military Drive, San Antonio, starting at 8pm on the 2nd of August. That’s a Saturday.

Tickets are available via the festival’s official website HERE and are $15 each, not including a $1.82 “Fee”.
