Cold Case Cast Catch-up – February 2015

tracie_thoms_001_430x180Things are still relatively quiet on the news front regarding the other members of the cast of Cold Case.  Like the month itself February 2015’s CCCC-up will be short and cold… I mean sweet.

Luckily for us Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) is always busy.  Back in the October 2014 CCCC-up we brought you news of a web series that Tracie was due to start working on.  At the time Send Me was seeking funding via Indiegogo.  Over a couple of weeks at the beginning of this month principal photography (that’s filming to you and me) took place on the project about Gwen (Tracie) who has the power to send people back in time.  Gwen uses this ability to teach individuals about slavery in the US by transporting them to the 1800s to witness it first-hand.  As well as Ms. Thoms the show has a starry cast:  Gabrielle Carteris (90210), Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy), Jasika Nicole (Fringe), Ahmed Best (Dexter), Kevin Daniels (Sirens), and Steve Harper (Chico & Rita) are amongst them.  Steve also wrote and produced Send Me.  The crew will be deep into post-production now.  Hopefully, in the next CCCC-up, due at the end of March, we’ll know more about the release plans.

Over a couple of CCCC-ups last year (starting in June) I covered the news that big Thom Barry was signed to guest star in the TNT drama series Perception, led by Eric McCormack (Trust Me) and Rachael Leigh Cook (Antitrust).  Thom was said to be appearing as an FBI field office boss.  Subsequent CCCC-ups noted Thoms absence as the season progressed.  Having just returned from the mid-run hiatus there are now only 4 episodes left of the entire series.  Fingers crossed.  On a related note:  congratulations to Rachael and her husband on the news they are expecting their second child later this year.

Costume Designers Guild Awards 2006 Update

cdga_63Last 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 wcdga_red_carpet_002on 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.

Kathryn @ Night Before The Oscars Party

night_before_oscars_2015_001And 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.

The Coin Goes Off Piste

falun2015_logo_180x180That’s not what I said!  Read it again :-)

Bit out of nowhere this one.

Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin yesterday started a series of nightly screenings at an event running alongside the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015, currently being held in the Swedish city of Falun.

Falun is about 115 miles (180km) north west of Sweden’s capital Stockholm.

When you have a big thing like a world championship taking part in a region you need to entertain the many visitors during the time they are not watching the sport.  Cultural festivals, concerts etc. are often put on do just that.

The Bryggcaféet café in Falun has teamed up with the Peace & Love Film Festival to host the screening of a short film festival each evening from 6pm.  With The Coin there are six other films from around the world, including Smog Journeys from China and Matthew Modine’s Jesus Was Commie.  The screenings continue until the end of the championships on the 1st of March.

Thanks to Fabien for dropping this bombshell early on a Saturday morning :-)

Information about the short films on the official website P&LFF website HERE.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence – Tonight BBC1

ai_10And when I say tonight I mean the night of Thursday, the 19th of February 2015.

It’s nearly 14 years since A.I. Artificial Intelligence was released.  Difficult to believe it has been that long but we still don’t have intelligent, talking teddy bears or life-like robots.  Hoverboards haven’t quite made it either, despite Back To The Future II predicting that we would all be riding them by 2015.  Come on geeks!  Where’s our hoverboards?!?!

Speaking of intelligent ideas and things coming back from the past… Neat segue hey?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is honouring its audience with a viewing of A.I. Artificial Intelligence tonight at 11:45pm.  It’s been granted an upgrade to BBC1 too, having been shown on BBCs 2 and 3 the last few times.

The recent release, in parts of Europe at least, of the Alex Garland (28 Days Later…) movie Ex Machina has seen A.I. mentioned quite a lot.  Like Ex Machina, it too asks questions about our possible relationship with artificial intelligence technology in the future.  For those not familiar with Ex Machina I was surprised to just find out that it will not be out in the USA for several more months.

For those not aware Kathryn makes an all too brief appearance as a performer at a sort of circus in the middle of the film.

Details can be found on the BBC’s website here.

Screencaps and a video clip of Kathryn’s performance in A.I. can be found in the Gallery.
