Kathryn Morris UK

Paycheck – Friday, BBC1 Again, Again

I’ve only just spotted this so it is rather last minute. Don’t worry, I’ve got a memory wiping machine so you’ll all remember that I gave you plenty of notice

Give or take a week or two it has been a year since the BBC last broadcast sci-fi action drama Paycheck. It is on tonight (4th of September) at 11:35pm on BBC1, except in Northern Ireland. No showings scheduled for the NI crowd.

Ex-Dare Devil and future Batman Ben Affleck stars as computer engineer Michael Jennings. Michael is tasked with copying competitor designs but has his memories of the work erased afterwards to in some way get around copyright laws. Things go awry when Michael realises that someone is trying to kill him, but his pre-memory wipe self has left clues about it. Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) also stars.

Kathryn as a small but captivating role near the beginning of the film. Being a public service broadcaster that it is the BBC has again kindly started the movie early enough so that you can see Kathryn and still be in bed by midnight. These things are important for those of us of a certain age.

The BBC’s website has more details HERE. Various images from the film are in the KM UK Gallery.

Bone Tomahawk Goes Beyond… Fest

Things have been getting busy ’round these parts, haven’t they?

The movie’s première is on the 1st at Fantastic Fest, and there are follow-up screenings at Popcorn Frights is on the 4th, and over in England for the 10th and 11th.

Prior to that trans-Atlantic journey Bone Tomahawk will be heading home to Los Angeles for Beyond Fest.

The event runs from the 1st to the 12th at the Egyptian Theatre, but the horror Western movie will be screened on the 6th at 7:30pm.

Writer director S. Craig Zahler and Matthew Fox (Lost) are said to be attending the show. Hopefully some of the other cast members will be making an appearance… pretty please!

As per usual the full details can be found HERE on the official website.

Bone Tomahawk opens for general release in the USA on October 23rd.

The Perfect Guy – Kathryn Interview

Welcome back Kathryn. It’s great to see that smile again.

We are only a just over a week away from the release of the new thriller movie The Perfect Guy in cinemas in the US of A.

The stars Sanaa Lathan (Boss) and Michael Ealy (The Following), and to a lesser extent Morris Chestnut (Nurse Jackie), have been hitting the publicity trail, with various interviews and appearances. Not surprisingly, based on her small role, Kathryn has not been involved so far.

However, Kathryn has, along with the other key cast members, done a small interview as part of the released publicity material, or Electronic Press Kit, common for modern releases. And we’ve got it for you today.

In the Gallery you’ll now find a copy of the video and a set of screencaps taken from it (example above).

Bone Tomahawk In UK At BFI Film Fest

The Western is heading East.

Horror movie Bone Tomahawk is rapidly approaching a busy beginning to October. After premièring at the Fantastic Fest in Texas on the 1st, and following that up three days later closing Miami’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival, a week later sees the first of two screenings of the film in London, England.

The BFI (British Film Institute) is holding a major film festival starting on October 7th. Within the event are a series of galas covering a wide variety of different genres and themes.

The festival opens with the world première of the new Suffragette film starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meryl Streep, and closes with a UK première of the Danny Boyle/Aaron Sorkin sort-of biopic Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet. There are a huge number of other films, many of them premières, happening over the twelve day long event.

Bone Tomahawk turns up in the ‘Cult Gala’ on Saturday the 10th at the world famous Odeon Leicester Square, host to many a world première over the years. The screening starts at 9:15pm. The following day at 14:15pm there’s a repeat showing at the same venue.

Bone Tomahawk opens for general release in the USA on October 23rd.

Also, I’ve added a new, larger version of the 2nd poster (first posted here) to the Gallery.

Cold Case Cast Catch-up – August 2015

It’s time for the latest CCCC-up, our end-of-month look at the on-going careers of the cast of Cold Case.

In July I made some bold statements about Danny Pino‘s (Scotty Valance in CC) future regarding the Imagen Awards. I’m pleased to say that I have been proved correct once again (it doesn’t often happen, note the date!). Yes, a month ago I claimed the awards that recognise the work of those from the Latino community in the media would be happening on the 21st of August. Also, I asserted that Danny was nominated for an award. And, lo, it came to pass that KM UK was shown to be a teller of truth. A truth peddler be I! Enough! The awards happened and Danny won in his category of Best Supporting Actor: Television. The show he was in, Law & Order: SVU, won the gong for Best Primetime Television Series: Drama. Congratulations to Danny and all those involved in SVU.

Thinking it had been lost in the desert I’d pretty much given up on Death Valley, a drama film starring Katrina Law (Arrow), Lochlyn Munro (True Justice), Victoria Pratt (Mutant X), Kelly Hu (Arrow) and Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC). Over the past couple of years I’ve been vaguely tracking the movie. There have a few festival showings and… well… that was about it. In the past week or so things have turned around significantly. The film, about four friends who find themselves in a spot of bother in the aptly named area in eastern California, will now receiving a more general release in US cinemas on October 23rd. It may not be in every multiplex but it should possible to track down a showing in your area of America (assuming you have an area that is).

Each month Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) manages to inject something into the CCCC-up. The lady is just soooo busy. This time out it’s called Injection. A drama short about a family dealing with cancer and the appearance at the door of a possible cure. Not sure of Tracie’s role in the piece yet other than her character’s name: Sarah Wenscombe. Tracie doesn’t seem like a Wenscombe to me, but she’s a good actress so I’m sure she’ll pull it off. We can be a little more certain about Tracie and the webseries Send Me. The drama is about an academic, Gwen (Tracie), with ability to send other African Americans back to the times of slavery in the US, and much of the world. Earlier this month a couple of trailers for the project were released. Follow through from the official website HERE to YouTube and you can find a load of behind the scenes videos. I’ve not seen a specific date mentioned for the series release yet.

Back in the March CCCC-up I reported on John Finn (John Stillman in CC) had a role in a new drama series pilot called Doubt. Since then, to say the least there has been a lot of doubt about Doubt. The pilot clearly didn’t float the boat of those in the position to make the decision so a series was not commissioned from it. However, the project was kept alive and there has been a lot of re-writing and re-casting going on the past few months. KaDee Strickland (Private Practice) was to be the lead but she has been replaced by Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy). Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me) steps in for Masters Of Sex star Teddy Sears, who has moved to The Flash. Others, such as Laverne Cox (Orange Is The New Black), Dulé Hill (Psych), and Dreama Walker (Gossip Girl) are said to still be involved. Whether John is or not we’ll just have to wait and see.

A few hours after posting last month‘s CCCC-up the news broke that American wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper passed away. We’d only just mentioned the death of author Ann Rule. Roddy, appropriately enough, starred in the season 7 wrestling-themed Cold Case episode One Fall. A week later the actor Terrence Evans, he was the present day/older Lester Hughes in Daniella from season two, also died. Our condolences to their families and friends.
