 If you are bored of the English weather, just wait a short while and it will change. We’ve gone from the hottest day on record to rain the likes of which even we don’t see very often. We try to keep thing hot and pouring in the monthly CCCC-up news round-ups of Cold Case cast members (plus a few significant others) on-going careers. Here is July 2019.
Let’s start with a bit of news/not news/maybe news. I could have completely missed this previously but John Finn (John Stillman in CC) is being listed as a cast member of a TV movie called Republic Of Sarah. It is quite common for pilots of possible TV shows to be listed as TV movies prior to the switch to series. Occasionally the not picked up to series pilots are actually released as stand-alone TV movies. The arc of this news appears to be a pilot for a new CBS series announced in March, various cast members ‘attached’ over the coming weeks, and filming taking place late March/early April. Fast forward a month to mid-May and the announcement the network will not be moving forward. Now I’m seeing some updates being made to the IMDb page this month. We should probably assume that Republic Of Sarah is not going any further but it was worth noting it’s brief existence. For completeness the show was about a town in New Hampshire discovering it has a valuable resource in its midst and declaring itself an independent nation as a result. Jeffrey Paul King, writer/producer on Elementary, wrote Republic Of Sarah. Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy) was the lead, the titular Sarah Cooper. James Lesure (Las Vegas), Kirsten Nelson (Psych), and Jonathan Slavin (Better Off Ted, any excuse to mention that show). John is listed but doesn’t have a character name. I’m tempted to suggest it was likely to be as Sarah’s father.
In definite John news, we have another trailer, the 3rd by my count but the 2nd to others, for the space epic Ad Astra. Brad Pitt continues to star as the astronaut looking for his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones). We get to briefly see and hear John in this one. The Moon features a few times too, possibly as a nod to the recent anniversary of the first Moon landings. Watch the latest trailer HERE on YouTube.
In ‘I dunno’ news, the same Comic-Con I haven’t referred to yet in this piece, saw a trailer shown for season 10 of The Walking Dead. John starred in the previous run. I don’t know if John’s character will return or even if he survived season 9. There were some big casting upheavals for the show before the previous season, which will have had an impact on the audience figures, so they may have made further changes to try and get things back on track. However, I don’t watch the show so am far from well placed to comment. Feel free to educate me in the comments below.
As reported here last month, the second season of FX network’s Sons Of Anarchy spin-off Mayans M.C. is due to première on the 3rd of September. At the recent Comic-Con in San Diego attendees were able to watch a sneak peak. Just before that a promo trailer was released which shows Danny Pino (Scotty Valens on CC) returning as Miguel Galindo. He’s looking very sharp with his facial hair and suit. Some may prefer he donned the biking leathers. Each to their own. You can see the trailer on YouTube HERE.
The September 2018 CCCC-up first mentioned that Cold Case creator Meredith Stiehm was writing the small screen adaptation of Cristina Alger’s book The Banker’s Wife. It was ‘optioned’ (meaning a contract was in place to turn it into a TV show or film) before the book was even published! Impressive. Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike was said to be starring and exec producing. Also impressive. In the past few days it has been announced the 8-part series has been ordered for production by Amazon Studios for it’s Prime Video service. Rosamund is no longer involved, she has another Amazon show instead, but Homeland director/producer Lesli Linka Glatter will be directing all eight episodes. This is a reunion of sorts as Meredith was, of course, a writer and producer on Homeland. No word yet on Rosamund’s replacement as the star or the taker of the role as the other of two women search for answers after a plane crash. Could the people behind Cold Case and Homeland think of two great female actors to lead such a project…?
The other week Start TV posted a couple of pages, with videos, about Kathryn and Tracie’s starts in the business that is show. We covered it HERE.
Last week Start TV followed-up those two articles with a piece marking their ‘Investigation Week’, which includes Cold Case being broadcast from the beginning again today (29th July).
The initial focus of the newer feature is a collection of real-life investigators. An FBI Special Agent, Chief Of Police, marksman, Canine Handler, a coroner, and Coast Guard. As is the underlying theme of the whole TV channel, all the people being highlighted are women.
It continues with our two favourite ladies talking about what drew them to Cold Case, and Kathryn’s experience learning from Detective Tim Bass to inform her portrayal of Lilly Rush.
Read the full article HERE on the Start TV website.
Sit down children, and then I’ll begin…
Remember the surprise selfies (selfi?) posted by Tracie back in March? Well in case you don’t you can view that post HERE. It was clear the photos had something to do with the new female-centric US television network Start TV, currently broadcasting Cold Case daily, and I hoped we would hear about it later. That time has finally arrived.
Start TV has published Kathryn’s My Start Story article. It details Kathryn’s early life performing in her family’s gospel group, The Morris Code, through her introduction to movies and getting the role of Lilly Rush in Cold Case. There are quotes from Kathryn throughout and a couple of short video clips as companion items.
I urge you to read the full article HERE on the Start TV website.
Of course Tracie was there too and you can read her My Start Story HERE.
It wouldn’t be KM UK without some images and in this case we have some nice HD (720p) screencaps from the two video clips in the Gallery, and we have small versions of the videos for completeness.
Have a good weekend.
  
 So, where were we?
Oh yes, Reverie image updates as part of KM UK’s sort of annual Summer Of HD for 2019.
The last episode we looked at was number 5. During its run in 2018, Reverie took a week off for the July 4th holiday period and Kathryn wasn’t in episode six. All of which means we return to this after a few weeks off ourselves.
We got quite a lot of Monica Shaw in this one. She was key to the plot after Mara (Sarah Shahi) finds a boy in a VR world who claims he is being held against his will accused of being a terrorist. The DoD is clearly making use of the mind entering technology outside of the Onira-Tech company, without the crew’s knowledge. Is Monica allowing this? Can she stop it? Does she want to?
The mandala of the title is a spiritual symbol. The VR program uses symbols as emergency exit points if the normal methods fail. The use of the word ‘black’ could well be a reference to secret military ‘black sites’. Put the two together and you’ve possibly got the hint that this is a sign of the dark uses of the tech.
Nearly 130 new full HD (1080p) screencaps have been added the Gallery. And, the single promo photo (below right) we have for this episode has also been increased in size a little.
  
 To Kathryn and all KM UK’s friends in the US, we say Happy 4th of July.
Congratulations to the USA on reaching another 4th of July. I hear you having a parade this year. Sounds like lots of fun. Can’t believe you didn’t think of doing that at some point before in the last 243 years. Perhaps throw in a firework or two. But don’t actually throw them, that’s dangerous. Keep your pets indoors too, they can get scared by all the noise.
The UK is rapidly, and by rapidly I mean mind-numbingly slowly, heading towards it own independence day. Appropriately enough, we’re trying to make it the 31st of October, aka Halloween. Wish us luck. Many of would probably try and stay with you guys instead but we understand conditions are a bit cramped at the moment.
smallbarbie‘s image always forms the centrepiece of our 4th of July post. It is just one, albeit a particular find example of, fan art created by our viewers especially for this site. Find it and many, many other in our Fan Art Gallery. If you would like to add an image please contact me.
