Sweeter Side… Trailer 3 HD Screencaps

promo_009We didn’t screencap trailer 3 for The Sweeter Side Of Life last week because it was just about identical to the second one we’d posted previously.

Now, however, an HD version of the trailer has been posted on YouTube by Hallmark (another bit of quality work on the title of the video by them we might add) so we thought we might as well.

The images are of the 720p variety as, sadly, the 1080p version is not really full HD, just the 720p one scaled up.  Throw in YouTube quality video and what you’re left with is not great.  Best to stick with the intermediate size.

The screencaps are now in the Gallery.

Just 5 days to go until the US première.

A “New” The Sweeter Side Of Life Trailer

promo_009Over night (UK time) the Hallmark Channel finally got into gear with promoting The Sweeter Side Of Life, a new TV movie starring Kathryn and due to début a week tomorrow (on the 19th January 2013).

The film finally received a more significant presence on the Hallmark Channel’s website with a description of the plot, photos (you’ve seen them here already), a very brief bio for Kathryn and a “new” promo video.

trailer_003This “new” trailer is akin to replacing the stripe on the side of your old car and calling it a new car.  It’s the same as the 2nd trailer KM UK brought to you over a week ago but with a changed font for the title and a purple hue to the graphics instead of blue.

The banner image (see above) on the site, and the similar image that appears at the end of the video (see the Gallery for a larger screenshot) is new as well, though, again, it is more “new” than new and isn’t all as it might first appear.  It is clearly based on one of the promotional photos but with new accessories, a painted gloved white hand, re-positioned and reshaped arms, and a re-profiled dress around the cleavage.  Kathryn’s face, and possibly whole head, is also not from the original photo.  It is probably taken from an unreleased shot from the same photoshoot.

At least they’ve spelt Kathryn’s name correctly this time.

The banner image, screenshot and “new” video are now in the Gallery.

It’s Show Times For The Sweeter Side Of Life

hallmark_channel_black_190x85By now you should have it practically tattooed on the inside of your eye lids that the TV movie The Sweeter Side Of Life débuts in the USA on the Hallmark channel at 9pm (8pm Central) on the 19th of January.  The Saturday after next.

Those of you with access to the Hallmark channel should have your alarms and, if you have them, PVR/Tivos devices primed to record it.  However, if you manage miss this momentous occasion live then there are a number of times in the following few days when you can correct this massive oversight.

Poster 001We do have to deal with the small matter of America being spread across four timezones.  Not a situation us Brits are used to.  We only get one, albeit the one that all the rest are relative to :-)  Further complicating things is that rather than having TV shows start at, for example, the four different versions of 9pm, they only use two: East Standard Time (EST, in places like New York) and Pacific Standard Time (PST, in places like Los Angeles).  The middle of the country is covered by the aptly named “Central” (which is the 2nd timezone but generally takes in the 3rd one called Mountain as well).  Which leaves us with each show being given 2 times in the form 9/8c, meaning 9pm in EST & PST and 8pm in Central.  Of course, those that need to know this stuff have no doubt been dealing with it since birth, rendering this lengthy paragraph largely redundant 😐

Straight after the première broadcast there is a repeat showing.  There are 4 more in the first first week, all after noon:

  • 19th January: 9/8c and 11/10c
  • 20th January: 1/12c and 9/8c
  • 25th January: 8/7c
  • 26th January: 3/2c

We’re nearly there.

Update (11 January 2013):  There is a further showing of the film scheduled for 24th February at 3pm on the Hallmark Channel.

Apartment Looking For Resident Band

2br1ba_logo_003_640x427Feeling musical?  Know someone that is?

Well, perhaps they can get their work showcased in a feature film.

With her co-producer hat on Kristen Ruhlin (She Wants Me) put out a call on Facebook last Friday (4th January 2013) for singers, musicians and bands to contact her.  Kristen and her fellow producers are looking for music for the soundtrack of the movie 2 Br/1 Ba.

Comments made by Kristen on the Facebook update include additional contact details.  There is no deadline mentioned but the film is still listed as being released this month…

As you know Kathryn has a special guest role in the genre-defying film, which stars Alex Vega (Spy Kids) and Spencer Grammer (Greek) as feuding flatmates.

Kathryn A No Show At TCA Winter Press Tour 2013

hallmark_channel_black_190x85We could have had our first public appearance of Kathryn for 2013 yesterday evening (Friday, 4th January 2013) but it wasn’t to be.

The annual Television Critics Association Winter Tour has been taking place this past week, and continues for at least one more.  Each day one or more of the television networks announce upcoming shows and films.  Key cast and production staff members take part in presentations and Q&As with members of the press.

On Friday it was the turn of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel Winter 2013 TCA Gala.  Bill Abbott (President & CEO, Hallmark Channels) and Michelle Vicary (Executive Vice President, Programming Crown Media Family Networks) spoke to those assembled about the TV shows and films that will feature across the various Hallmark channels in the first half of 2013.

Cedar Cove, starring Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral) and based on the series of books by Debbie Macomber, featured heavily.  It is the networks first ever prime-time scripted drama.  A host of film premières, including next weekend’s Nearlyweds were also announced.  Many of the stars of the various productions attended the event.

But what of The Sweeter Side Of Life?  I hear you ask.  Here is what they said:

THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE premières Jan 19 and stars Kathryn Morris as a Manhattan socialite who suddenly finds herself single and returning home to work in her father’s small town bakery.  Kathryn Morris sends apologies that she could not make it this evening.  But James Best who plays Kathryn’s father is here with us this evening as well as Executive Producers and writers Janeen Damian and Michael Damian who also directed the movie.
