CC S7 Starts Tonight On Universal In UK

Just a quick reminder for all our UK readers that Cold Case season 7 (or ‘series 7’ as it would normally be known in England) starts tonight, and continues daily, on the Universal Channel.

8pm on September 12th sees the long awaited UK première of The Crossing. Lilly and the gang investigate the murder of a young woman on an ocean going liner in 1966.

The Universal Channel (the UK Hallmark channel rebranded) is available to Sky satellite and Virgin Media cable subscribers. You can find more details on the Universal Channel website.

The Ladies Of Moneyball

When it comes to baseball women don’t get much of a look in. When it comes to Moneyball it is all about Brad.

Nicole Sperling of the LA Times has done her homework and recognised that women were originally planned to be far more involved in the movie.

The character of Billy Beane’s daughter (played by Kerris Dorsey) figures extensively in the trailers, so much so that you might believe she has a large role. She doesn’t. Robin Wright, as Beane’s first wife, certainly filmed quite a few scenes and even got to appear on the official website after most cast descriptions only included Brad, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill. Only one scene of hers has made it to the big screen.

And we all know what happened to Kathryn’s role. As Nicole puts it:

In fact, director Bennett Miller axed an entire role from the movie — that of Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case”) as Beane’s second ex-wife, Tara Beane.

You can read Nicole’s piece in full here.

Hopefully the good people at Sony Pictures will see fit to include an Extra on the DVD release of Moneyball with same title as this post to showcase the talents of the ladies of Moneyball.

Kathryn Developing Casino Drama For Lifetime

Deadline.com is reporting that Kathryn is working on a new drama for the Lifetime network.

Princess Of Whales, based on the true story of Las Vegas casino hostess Marcia Hartman, is being developed by writer Stephen Kronish (24 and The Kennedys) and Kathryn through her Revival House company. Revival House is a new name for us. Just recently we reported on the apparent abandonment of Kathryn’s Hotplate Productions trademark.

Kathryn, Stephen and Josh Gold (development executive) are said to be executive producing along with Paul Frank, Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank. Fox TV Studios is producing.

Kathryn will likely not be acting in the show.

Ladycops By Dance Movie

Every so often on KM UK we have the great pleasure of bringing our dear readers (that’d be you) something a little different. Today is another of those days.

Canadian (Halifax, Nova Scotia to be more precise) band Dance Movie has made an album of songs inspired by female detectives on TV called Ladycops. Olivia Benson of Law & Order: SVU, The Killing‘s Sarah Linden, Jane Rizzoli of Rizzoli & Isles, and, of course, our very own Lilly Rush are each the subject of their own song on the EP.

Dance Movie’s vocalist and guitarist, Tara Thorne, who wrote the four songs, kindly agreed to do a Q&A-style interview for us at KM UK. You can read the results below.

If you have any questions for Tara then please post them as comments on this article and we’ll see if we can persuade her to drop by and reply.

Ladycops, was released on the 1st of September. It is available free to listen to on, or download from, Dance Movie’s Bandcamp page. The band also has a MySpace page and you can follow them on Twitter.

Update: Tara has allowed me to add the Rush track and a copy of the lyrics to the Gallery.
