Kathryn @ She Wants Me Première

Of course she does. Who wouldn’t

We like seeing the old old photos again. We like seeing new old photos for the first time. But sometimes we really want to see new new photos. Luckily this is one of those times.

Last Thursday night (5th April 2012) saw the première of the movie She Wants Me.

Starring Josh Gad, Hilary Duff, Kristen Ruhlin, Charlie Sheen and Johnny Messner it’s a comedy about film maker Sam (Gad). Sam has promised his aspiring actress girlfriend (Ruhlin) the lead role in his next film just before the hottest actress of the moment (Duff) says she wants the role.

And Kathryn’s involvement? Well, SWM producer Danny Roth was also a producer on Cougars, Inc. Can’t spot any other reason for her presence at the moment. Answers on a postcard 😉

Stalker Sarah M (her own description) managed to get a snap with Kathryn at the event and has very kindly allowed KM UK to share the photo, as you can see on the left. Many thanks to her.

You can find the very large sized image in the KM UK Gallery.

Sunday’s Mother To Première At Newport Beach Film Festival

Aaron Jackson, writer/director of the short film Sunday’s Mother, has let us know that the film will receive its première at the Newport Beach Film Festival in May. Newport Beach is in Orange County, California, about 30miles (50km) south of Los Angeles.

The film, starring Kathryn as the mother of a boy suffering at the hands of a bully, will be shown in a set of short films under the title Don’t Cut Your Family Short starting at 4pm (PST) on the 1st of May 2012.

You can see more details of the screening on the Festival Genius website. The Festival’s own website is HERE.

We’ll bring you more news on this as we get it.

KM UK has been directly involved in backing and promoting Sunday’s Mother since we first heard about it last year. The Kickstarter funded project was filmed last July and has been applying for festivals since post-production ended in September. See all the Sunday’s Mother posts on KM UK for more details.

Good Friday Just Got Even Better – Minority Report On BBC2

It’s been nearly three years since BBC last broadcast the Steven Spielberg directed, Tom Cruise starring, sci-fi action film Minority Report. It formed the basis of this site’s first “Media Alert”, posts that notify UK readers of appearances of Kathryn work.

Normally the film appears on BBC 1, which would mean an HD broadcast for the first time, but this year it gets bumped over to BBC 2 and not simultaneously shown on BBC HD. Hang your head in shame Auntie

Oh well. BBC 2 this coming Friday (aka Good Friday), 6th of April 2012 at 11:15pm (11:40pm in Scotland). Full details can be found on the BBC website HERE. I understand that some of our neighbours on the continent may be able to see this as well

To mark the event I’ve added a large-sized still (show above) of Kathryn in the film to the Gallery.

Based on a Philip K Dick story and released in 2002, Minority Report is about John Anderson and his fight to prove his own innocence after being identified as a future killer by the Pre-Crimes Police squad he works for. Kathryn plays John’s estranged wife who he turns to for help. Kathryn’s role is relatively small, Samantha Morton takes the more prominent co-star role, but it is important, especially towards the end.

Spartacus Season 3 & Najara To Make A Comeback? – April Fool

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

This article and the linked interview contain spoilers. You have been warned.

Friday night (30th March 2012) saw the dramatic conclusion to season 2 (season 3 if you count the prequel mini-series) of the Starz TV hit show Spartacus.

The reluctance to shy away from killing off characters many would assume sacred was taken to shocking extreme as the finale drew to a close. You’d think that being the star that brought in the crowds, had worked with many of the crew before, and is married to one of the show’s Executive Producers would give you some job security. Apparently not, as the death of Lucy Lawless‘s character proves. This is not one of those “but they’ll bring them back somehow” deals either as Michael Ausiello’s interview with Spartacus Executive Producer Steven S. DeKnight makes clear.

So where does this leave Spartacus for season 3? A largely new cast including several new female characters. And what does this have to do with us here at KM UK? A well informed someone who has chosen to go by the name of Maj-kat has let me know that they would really like Kathryn to take a significant role in season 3. They know her well from her time on Xena, she is clear of her Cold Case commitments and has shown a willingness to take on more… errr… adventurous roles (*cough*Cougars, Inc.*cough*). Call make-up, we may need a blonde merkin! 😉

Kathryn @ Resurrecting The Champ Première – Jan 2007 – Update x2

Kathryn made further appearances on day 3 (Kathryn’s 2nd) of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

I should start out by saying that the image above is not part of this update. It is part of a portrait session for the cast of Resurrecting The Champ and it did happen on the same day. As much as I’d love to post an update on it, and savour every extra pixel, I did that last July with the largest versions available No, I’ve used it because it is my favourite Kathryn photo and I don’t need much of an excuse to post it

Along with the photoshoot, the 20th of January 2007 saw Kathryn attend another of those product promotional events, this time at the Marquee Lounge, the Resurrecting The Champ première and after party (8 new images), and another promo event at the Heineken Green Room. In total we have 21 more images across the three events.

Day 4 coming soon.

Update: An additional photo from a Q&A at the première was added just after this article was posted. The image has since been upgraded to one much greater size.

Update 2: Two more large images of Kathryn with her co-star Josh Hartnett at the première.
