Cold Case Cast Catch-up – April 2014

danny_pino_001_430x180I’ve left it rather late this month but there is just time to squeeze in our regular post on the careers of the Cold Case cast members that aren’t Kathryn.  It’s April so we’ll make this the April update.

In an effort to stop this becoming the Tracie Thoms Twelve Tributes (it’s monthly) or the T4, or 4T, or Double TT (OK, that just got weird 😉 ) we’ll try and up the non-Tracie content this time.  It might be difficult though.  Don’t worry, we still love you Tracie 😉

Danny Pino (Scotty Valens on CC) is coming to the end of his 3rd season on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  It’s difficult to believe it has been that long already.  Makes me feel older just thinking about that.  There’s a joke in there somewhere about policeman looking younger every year.  So far there is no word on whether L&O:SVU will get another season or not.  As we know from Kathryn’s work on Cold Case you do a job on a show like that pretty much at the exclusion of everything else so there is little time for side projects.  At the moment there doesn’t appear to anything in the pipeline from Danny.  If you want wall-to-wall coverage on Danny’s work check out the great site Danny Pino Online.  Tell them I sent you and say ‘hi’ from me.

Going up in rank we’ll move on to John Finn (John Stillman in CC).  John is listed as being in the pilot for a possible new CBS TV series based around the machinations of Wall Street.  Actor John Cusack (High Fidelity) is set to star and produce.  The writers and exec producers from the TV series Justified are also behind the project.  Charlie Cox (Boardwalk Empire) leads with David Morse (Treme), Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) and Maggie Grace (Taken) co-starring.  Morse’s character will be a powerful banker no doubt tapping into the world’s current distrust of financial institutions.  Cox is to be an Iraq war vet turned banker, so we know he’ll be a good guy.  Okonedo plays an assistant attorney general charged investigating the murky world of money.  John Finn’s character is just down as Ritter at the moment.  As of now the show is just known as Untitled Wall Street Project and is on IMDb as a “TV movie” which is often the case with pilots for series.

Next we’ll cast (see what I did there?) our net a little wider before pulling it back.

The Coin Gets The Love In The City Of Love

poster_001It’s turning in to a busy week here on KMUK!

Despite being around for nearly two years we continue to hear about the march of The Coin in film festivals around the world.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048The short film’s director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell has again let it be known that his short film will be heading back to his homeland of France.  This time it is for the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris.  The Coin is one of the official selections of the festival.

As the lady in the colourful poster on the right tells us the festival runs from the 11th to the 17th of June this year.  The exact where-and-when of how The Coin will feature in the programme has not been announced yet.  The schedule is due to be released in a couple of weeks time.  I will post an update when the news breaks.

You can check all the details on the official Champs-Élysées Film Festival website HERE.  A version for us lazy English-only speakers is due to be available later in May.

As I normally say, if you get a chance to attend a festival screening The Coin then please do let us know how what the experience was like.  We’d love to hear all about it.

Kathryn @ Newport Beach Film Festival – Update x2

newport_beach_001First!

Kathryn’s first public appearance of the year that is.  Let’s hope it is the first of many.  It is so great to see her again.

As reported previously the short film The Coin was screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival yesterday (26th April) and all our wishes came true because Kathryn was in attendance.

As you can see she was there with Fabien Martorell (co-writer/co-producer/director of the film), Will Kemp (co-producer/actor) and young Jack Ryan Shepherd (actor).

Thanks to Fabien for the photo.  It is in the KM UK Gallery.

Everyone here sends best wishes to everyone there.

Update:  A couple more photos have been added.  Thanks to Will Kemp and Fabien again.

Update (28th Apr):  An additional three photos courtesy of Fabien and Severine.

Mother’s Day Fan Art?

It’s just occurred to me that in a couple of weeks time (Sunday, May 11th) it will be Mother’s Day in the United States Of America.

Those of us in the UK don’t make our mothers wait so long, we get it done in March :-)

As you may have noticed this website is dedicated to a certain special lady (I realise it is only subtly referred to :-) ).  This year she gets to celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time as a mother herself.  No doubt she’ll be receiving two cards with suspiciously grown-up, yet child-like, handwriting from two boys that, let’s be honest, probably haven’t quite mastered the finer points of calligraphy.

With just two weeks to go do you think you (yes, you) could come up with some suitably themed fan art to publish here on the day?

It’s been a while since we did fan art here and it would be a wonderful way to revisit it and celebrate a new occasion at the same time.  The KM UK Gallery, which includes an extensive fan art section, contains thousands of images you could use as a basis.

You can contact me via the normal methods or upload your works of art using the form below.

Thank you in advance.
