It’s been quite a while since I wrote about Xena: Warrior Princess. In fact the last time was a fun April Fools post about the possible return of the hit show and some crossover with the less than subtle Spartacus programme. The lengthy menu on the left of this site gives links to our Xena-related posts.
Turns out that this year (2025) marks the 30th anniversary of Xena. The show first aired in 1995! Some of you were likely not even born at that time. Jeez, I’m getting old!
To celebrate this milestone, a Salute To Xena convention is being held next weekend (31st Jan – 2nd Feb 2025) in the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in California. That’s the same venue used for the Hollywood Show fan convention event back October last year.
Any why might you ask is this being posted on this site, other than just another excuse to post the image above? That’s a good question which you’ve probably already guessed the answer too based on the title etc.
Yes, Kathryn is due to attend the event on both the Saturday and Sunday. The leading ladies (Lucy Lawless and Renée O’Connor) are listed as being there on Sunday.
Thanks to AJ for passing on this information. Apologies for the late posting of this and short notice.
I don’t know if the recent wild fires in California could impact the convention. Please check the relevant places for more information.
If you are attending the event, please let us know. We could put together a post with some of your experiences.
You can read more about the Salute To Xena event on the Creation Entertainment website HERE.
 There are signs that the new dramatic film From Embers, which sees Kathryn take on a key role, has started to have screening in US cinemas.
A release date of the 25th of October, that’s last Friday at the time of writing, was being widely reported for the movie already. It looks like that might have taken place at a location in Santa Monica, California.
For those in the Santa Monica area the Monica Film Center has 3 screenings per day up until the end of the month. Check the details on the Laemmle website HERE.
If you find yourself further north in the state of California between the 8th and 14th November, the Cinelounge Tiburon venue is also holding showings. The schedules indicate one per day (except the Monday, which has none) over the week. See the Cinelounge website HERE.
Across the US, even further north, and several weeks later takes you to New York. From Embers looks like it will be screened in the Cinema Village site for 7 days from the 22nd of November. Go to the Cinema Village website for details HERE.
Hopefully these screenings will help the film gain publicity through reviews prior to a wider release via streaming services.
 Thanks to AJ for passing along the tip that Kathryn is due to attend a fan convention event in Los Angeles in October.
The Hollywood Show has been around a long time, having first started in 1979, and now hosts multiple events per year mainly at the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in LA.
Kathryn was recently added to the list of around 70 celebrities from many eras and genres of the entertainment world that will be at the next scheduled convention.
The event will be on Friday and Saturday the 18th-19th of October, running from 4pm-8pm on the Friday and 10am-6pm on Saturday. Though it is up to the individual star the hours they do and there will likely be fees.
It is not entirely clear to me how these events run but I would presume you get to do meet & greets, get autographs, and have photographs taken with your celebs of choice.
Looking at the extensive list of planned attendees it is nice to see that you could have a mini Cold Case reunion as Tracie Thoms was also recently added. And to really go back into the archives Tim Matheson, who started with and directed Kathryn in the TV movie Hell Swarm, as well as several episodes of Cold Case, is included. Check the KM UK archives for more on Hell Swarm.
If you are already planning to go this convention or will do so now, please let us know. We’d love to hear more about it.

 Distributor DYNMC Films have released an official trailer for the movie Hayseed ahead of a limited cinematic run and a date for the film to made available via streaming. It’s all go-go-go on the Hayseed front.
After a sold out screening on in Brooklyn, New York, here are a set of dates and locations for the limited theatrical release of Hayseed:
7th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle Royal
8th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle NoHo 7
13th Nov, Detroit, MI – Emagine Royal Oak
14th Nov, Ann Arbor, MI – Emagine Saline
15th Nov, Lansing, MI – Celebration Cinema
16th Nov, Grand Rapids, MI – Wealthy Theatre
21st Nov, New York, NY – Village East by Angelika
That second one is in bold for a reason. Kathryn and her co-star Marta Piekarz (Queer As Folk) are due to attend a Q&A at the Laemmle NoHo7 event on the 8th in Los Angeles. Looks like it is a 7pm start time for the screening.
What’s more the film is due to get what is being called a ‘digital release’ on the 21st November. Presumably this is on streaming platforms, though which is not clear yet.
You can watch the official Hayseed release trailer on YouTube HERE.
A handful of screencaps from the trailer have been added to the Gallery. They are very similar to the previous trailer we covered but with better picture quality. There is also a very high resolution still and new posters.
  
 The movie Hayseed will be featuring at the first ever Pottstown Film Fest later this week.
The event is two days long, with the opening night being dedicated to short films. Hayseed closes out the second evening of entertainment.
For those that don’t know, and their can’t be many of you, Pottstown is a borough of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in the US of A. All of you Cold Case fans really should know this as it is around 30 miles (45km) outside Philadelphia 
The film festival is the brain child of actor and Pottstown native, Kyle Klaus. He both acted in and is a producer on Hayseed. The festival is part of the Manhattan Short 2023 event which, despite the name, takes place in venue all over America.
Kyle’s previous acting credits include drama the series The Blacklist and FBI. He is starring in an upcoming movie called Ballad Of A Hustler, due to première in a Brazilian film festival next week, and a short film called Roundabout which opens an upcoming film festival in Pottstown.
Hang on a minute!!! You mean this man has created a new film festival in his home town and the first and last films to feature are ones he is in!? Fair play to the man.
Not surprisingly Kyle will be making an appearance at his own festival, notably in a Q&A with Hayseed writer/director Travis Burgess after the film’s screening on Friday night.
