Cold Case Cast Catch-up – August 2014

It being mid-summer this will be a relatively quiet one but we’ll see what we can do for our latest Cold Case Cast Catch-up (aka CCCC-up) for August 2014.  Each month I try to give brief updates on the careers of the members of the Cold Case cast that aren’t Kathryn.

After twice previously mentioning that Mr Thom Barry (see above, Will Jeffries on CC) had taken on a recurring role on the TNT drama series Perception I was assuming that this post would be the one to confirm it.  However, the show finished its summer run last week, and is now on hiatus, with no sign of the a new FBI field office boss played by Thom.  Presumably he will be appearing in the set of five episodes that close out the show’s third season due for broadcast from February 2015.  Speaking of Thom, it looks like he has been signed to play the father of R&B star Aaliyah in a Lifetime network TV movie about her life.  I gather that the project has been in the works for sometime and has had a few issues with casting and the family of the singer.  With Alexandra Shipp (House of Anubis) taking the over lead role and talkshow host Wendy Williams exec producing, Aaliyah: Princess of R&B is due to première in the autumn.  That is assuming it does not hit further problems.

It wouldn’t be a CCCC-up without mentioning Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC).  She’s is a one entertainment industry.  The couple of weeks Tracie has been Tweeting extensively about the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.  In amongst those messages she mentioned being on set, though didn’t reveal any more than that.  For those in the US and with access to the Showtime network you can, apparently, see the woman-on-woman fight to the death movie Raze on there until mid-September.  Check EPG for details.  This weekend Tracie is due to have her final outing in the For The Record: Tarantino show, which features dramatised performances of songs used in films by writer/director Quentin Tarantino.

The Coin Hits Portobello, London

poster_001This one’s for the Brits and apologies for the comparatively short notice.

Last week director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell let it be known that his short film The Coin had been added as an official selection in the Portobello Film Festival.  Not surprisingly the event is based around London’s famous Portobello Road, in the even more famous Notting Hill area of the UK capital.

portobello_free_film_festival_poster_511x485The Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts rom-com Notting Hill was partly filmed there and gave a taste of second-hand clothes, books and antiques market stalls and shops that Portobello Road is best known for.

Fabien was, not surprisingly, keen to tell the world but, for what ever reason, the official website for the festival was more reluctant.  It was only last night that The Coin was added to updated lists of the various film programmes that will be on offer when the event opens later today (7pm, 28th Aug).  Note that the official programme (a downloadable PDF on the site) does not include The Coin, probably due to its late inclusion.

The short film starring Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) gets a screening on the 6th September at the Westbourne Studios (242 Acklam Road, W10 5JJ) in an 11 hour film programme starting at 12 noon under the title “French Films”.  Obviously The Coin‘s connection to France is Fabien himself.  If, and it is a big if, the mixed bag of short and long films were to be played in the order shown and the timings are correct then The Coin would make an appearance at around 3pm.

The Portobello Film Festival runs until the 14th of September.  More details can be found on the website here.

Any of you Londoners, or those in London, in the area the weekend after next?  If so, we love to hear about your experience.

Cold Case S03E10 – Frank’s Best HD Screencaps

Cold_Case_S03E10_lilly_084On the surface Frank’s Best is about a man wrongly convicted of killing his boss, Frank, the owner of a small delicatessen during a robbery.  Of course we all know that in reality that’s just bit of padding to fill out the show around the real story.

It’s a bit of a cliché in TV show circles but in this episode, the 10th of season 3, Cold Case did the ol’ abandoned baby routine.  It’s always a way of creating comic moments as the main characters, who we just know are ill suited to the demands of child care despite being so good at dealing with the pressures of modern policing, are left quite literally (used correctly you’ll notice) holding the baby.  Of course it had to be Det. Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford) who gets to play mommy.  Hilarity ensues.

Oh yes, the guy didn’t do it.  The son did.  And Vera tries to adopt Scotty, or may it was the baby, it’s not clear  :-)

As part of the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 there are 167 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and 3 promo photos now newly available in the Gallery.

The Perfect Guy Gets A Date?

The new thriller film The Perfect Guy which will see Kathryn returning to the big screen in a small role recently started filming around LA.  In our initial reporting of the news a release some time next year was expected.  Not really a surprise given the normal timing of these things..

Now we might be able to be a little more precise.  This is not confirmed and is far from official but a date of 19th June 2015 has been seen.  Even if that is the currently intended release date these things are always subject to change.

Another additional detail is the inclusion of child actor Duncan Joiner to the cast list on the film’s IMDb page.  As the character Kathryn is said to be playing, Karen, has been described as a mother of boys it is a reasonable assumption to make that Duncan, as “Zach”, could be one of her sons.

For more details on The Perfect Guy see the previous KM UK post here.
