Bone Tomahawk @ Horror/Sci-Fi Showcase

ihsff_horror_showcase_220x184We’re still a few weeks off the general opening of Bone Tomahawk and all it seems to be doing is closing!

The International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival is holding a special showcase next week.  The actual annual festival is held in April of each year in Phoenix, Arizona.

Over three days the Fall Horror Showcase features a film per night, concluding with Bone Tomahawk on Thursday the 8th of October.

The Harkins Scottsdale 101 Theatre, which hosts the screening, is relatively small so there are only around 250 seats available.  So, if you want a ticket you’d better hurry up and visit the official website.

Bone Tomahawk Premières At Fantastic Fest Tomorrow

fantastic_fest_2015_poster_1013x1500The day is nearly upon us…

Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox, Patrick Wilson and Richard Jenkins are all expected to be in Austin, Texas, tomorrow night (1st Oct) for the world première of Bone Tomahawk.

The horror western, written and directed by S. Craig Zahler, will be one of the last screenings on the closing night of this year’s running of the Fantastic Fest event.  Those four gentlemen, all stars of the film, will apparently be attending the 7:15pm screening.  As far as we’re aware Kathryn, sadly, won’t.

Various outlets erroneously have Bone Tomahawk down as being first shown last Friday (25th).  Presumably they have just taken the opening day of Fantastic Fest and not looked further into it.  Some people!

Details about Fantastic Fest can be found on the official website here.  Not sure you’ll be able get tickets at this late stage though.

Bone Tomahawk is set for a general release in the USA on October 23rd.  This may include VOD services, it is not clear at the moment.

There’s going to be a few of these types of posts of the next couple of weeks so hang on to your hats!

Cold Case Is 12 (and 1/365th)

CC_Titles_16Ooops.

My timing isn’t what it could be  :-)

Yesterday (28th September 2015) marked the 12th anniversary of Cold Case starting.

Sunday, the 28th September 2003 saw Cold Case première with, oddly enough, the first episode :-)

That first show was one of the highest rated débuts ever on the CBS network and it went on to 156 episodes over 7 seasons.  It started with “Look Again” and ended on May 2nd, 2010 with “Shattered”.

Cold Case Cast Catch-up – September 2015

Nearly the end of the month so it’s time to roll out another CCCC-up, KM UK’s look at the on-going careers of the significant cast of Cold Case that aren’t Kathryn.

Ha, ha.  Fooled you.  I’ve put a picture of Jeremy above but I’m going to start with Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) :-)  We’ll come to Jeremy next.  A whole year ago, in the September 2014 CCCC-up, I mentioned that Tracie was involved in filming a webseries called Sidetracked.  The status of the project is still not clear all this time later but earlier this month Writer/director E.D. Brown released a set of promo videos.  There are four short clips, each covering a different episode in the series about the lives of various people whose lives haven’t quite gone to plan.  Who can say theirs has?  Tracie stars in the video for episode two titled “We Live On Land”.  You can watch it here on YouTube.  From there you easily find the others.  The series stars Adrienne Wilkinson (Xena: Warrior Princess), Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: Episode I-III) and Wes Ramsey (CSI: Miami), and E.D. Brown herself, amongst others.  A more recent work is No Touching which sees Tracie re-teaming with her Raze co-star Zoë Bell.  It’s a short story described as being about “a shady haunted house attraction where the performers are assaulting female patrons”.  As Zoë stars with fellow stunt performer Heidi Moneymaker (Scarlett Johansson’s stunt double in Avengers: Age Of Ultron), and her role in Raze, I think you can guess what’s going to happen when these two ladies visit the spooky amusement.  Filming apparently started on the 20th.  Tracie posted on social media that she’d finished filming on the 21st.  Well, it is a short film.  How Tracie fits in is not clear.  She’s presumably not one of the guys doing the groping.  More details on the project can be found on their Kickstarter page here.

Now on to Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC).  Since Cold Case ended Jeremy has mainly been seen in guest starring roles in shows such as Hawaii Five-O, The Mentalist and Bones.  Three weeks ago he made appearance in the drama series Longmire.  It may be set in modern day Wyoming but Longmire, based on the novels of Craig Johnson, clearly has a sensibility harking back to the classic westerns.  Robert Taylor (Ballykissangel) stars as a sheriff still dealing with the loss of his wife.  Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) is his deputy.  Together they keep the peace and solve crimes.  Jeremy guested in the second episode, “War Eagle”, of the fourth season.  Originally the show was broadcast by the A&E network in the US but they dropped it after three years.  Netflix, as it does, picked it up and released all 10 episodes of the fourth run at once on September 10th.

Bone Tomahawk Lands In Charlotte

charlotte_film_festival_1818x1232With each newly announced screening of Bone Tomahawk the beginning of October gets more and more crowded.

Premièring on the closing night of Fantastic Fest on the 1st, on the 4th it’s Popcorn Fest, the 6th sees it at Beyond Fest, before a few days off to make the trip to London for the BFI Film Fest on the 10th, and several screenings in Spain at the Sitges International Film Fest shortly after.  It’s a fest of fests!

You’d think that’s enough but oh no, not for Bone Tomahawk.

Some how the 7th running of the Charlotte Film Festival has snuck in and grabbed second place with a screening on Saturday the 3rd of October.  It’s another last-on-the-schedule, closing night showing.  The good folks of Charlotte, North Carolina, get a nice sensible hour starting time of 8pm.  That’s civilised.

The event takes place from this Friday (25th Sept) and continues until Bone Tomahawk finishes it off the Saturday a week later.  The festival is made up of a mix of both narrative and documentary films in both feature and short forms.

Full details of the cinema location and ticket prices are on the official website.
