We’re already 1/12th of the way through 2018, more if you consider the number of days. To mark the occasion here’s a quick round-up of updates in the world of the Cold Case cast that aren’t Kathryn.
These regular CCCC-up posts are about looking back at the recent careers of the CC cast. We often revisit items as more news comes in. To start with Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) we are going back over two years. In October 2015 Tracie filmed a comedy called The California No. All this time later the film finally received its world première earlier this month at the San Francisco. Things can move slowly in Hollywood. Maybe the film has found its time. A couple of days before that a trailer was released, you can watch it HERE on YouTube. Beware, it contains ‘adult themes’. The film stars Noah Segan (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Ursula Mills (Peter Pan), with some slightly better known faces like Jordan Hinson (Eureka) and Breckin Meyer (Road Trip) alongside Tracie in the support cast.
Speaking of films starring Tracie and world premières another of her many projects, a short called Are We Good Parents?, will be getting its debut at the SXSW film festival. The film is to be shown three times across the whole event which runs from the 9th to the 18th of March. As it is a short film it will be packaged in a screening with others in the same category on the 10th, 12th and 15th. Sean Maguire (Once Upon A Time) co-stars in Bola Ogun’s film about two parents dealing with their teen-aged daughter going on her first date with a boy. A common enough issue for parents around the world. These two, however, had got the idea that their daughter was gay. See the SXSW website for details HERE.
Staying with Tracie: she was treading the boards again at the beginning of last week. In aid of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) the play-on-words comedy titled Villian: DeBlanks came to LA at the Rockwell Theatre. As you can probably guess from that clever title the murder mystery play is improvised, with the actors having to use suggestions from the audience to shape the story.
To round-off Tracie new this month the Lifetime network show-about-a-show UnREAL returned for its third season on Monday (26th Feb), and the third and final of Love (the Netflix comedy-drama) starring Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Paul Rust (Comedy Bang! Bang!) will be out on the 9th of March. The trailer for that is HERE on YouTube.
John Finn (John Stillman in CC) next. Bent, a movie starring Karl Urban (Dredd), Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), and Andy Garcia (The Lost City) is due for release next week. We first mentioned it on this site last May. The framed-cop out for revenge thriller will receive a limited cinematic outing and be available via VOD services such as iTunes. Another ‘adult themes’ trailer can be seen on YouTube HERE.
Further, and even greater, evidence of the way things sometimes go in Hollywood is the film Give Til It Hurts. KM UK first and last mentioned this film waaay back in December 2014. 2014! At that time release was due in 2015. Now we have a date of 6th July 2018. Two brothers try to get back an inheritance they believe is theirs. Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) has the enigmatic role of ‘Elvis’, likely a small role.
Just in time for Xmas a teaser trailer and some promotional art work was released for Veena Sud‘s (writer/producer on CC) latest project Seven Seconds. We covered that in our round-up of round-ups to end 2017. Since then a full trailer was let loose (watch it HERE on YouTube). The 10 episode drama was made available in its entirety last week on Netflix. The show centres around the shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer. Regina King (American Crime) plays the boy’s mother dealing with the aftermath. The story is based on a Russian show. Who’d of thunk it? Russia influencing American media!
 Now the Winter Olympics (well done to all that competed) is out of the way I was looking forward to an all out Reverie promotional assault from the NBC network. Just a week to go until a brand new series hits the US airwaves.
It is still early in that 7-day countdown, but the lack of anything during the time that so many eyes were on the station’s output for two weeks of snow- and ice-based sports was a little concerning. No trailer and no press releases giving the official details of the new VR drama starring Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest), Jessica Lu (Awkward.), Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), Dennis Haysbert (24), alongside Kathryn.
Spending a little time today looking into what must surely be an oversight by NBC today has brought some disappointing news to light: we could be looking at a June (and late June at that) première for Reverie.
The early March release looked so set in stone. Even officially released Reverie artwork (as seen above) included a reference to it, albeit not including the specific date. They must have meant it at the time.
As Reverie was a ‘mid-season’ show, and therefore set to replace something else, presumably one of the new shows that started last September has been more successful and had its run extended.
It is unlikely now that Reverie will start next week, but we will have to hope we won’t be waiting until the summer.
 We are deep in the midsts of awards season.
The BAFTAs were last weekend (18th Feb). The Oscars are next weekend (4th March). The British Music Awards were a few days ago. The Grammy awards ceremony happened at the end of January. The MTV Europe Music Awards are…. OK, they’re ages away (November!). Don’t worry, the KM UK annual awards will be in a few weeks.
To jump on this bandwagon, and to make up a little for the lack of posts recently, it is time to go back in time to awards ceremonies gone by. The Costume Designers Guild Awards in 2005 to be precise.
If it was 2013/2014 this post would just be Frozen reference after Frozen reference regarding Kathryn and her fairy princess dress. But we’re all so sick of Frozen references. Let it go already! Sorry  The release of a sequel late next year will no doubt kick it all off again though. That should kill off the current unicorn craze, unless Frozen 2 includes a unicorn!
The lady sharing the sofa with Kathryn and the boys in the image above is costume designer Jill Taylor. Presumably Kathryn, Danny and John presented Jill’s award to her, which is why they are pictured together afterwards. She won for her work on the film The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers. The biopic about the late actor/comedian starred a host famous names including Geoffrey Rush (The King’s Speech), Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road), and Emily Watson (Punch-Drunk Love).
The KM UK Gallery has now been updated with 12 new images (and a small update to #10).
  
The NBC network have managed to remain silent on the issue, but we are almost certainly just a one month away from Reverie‘s first episode being broadcast.
It strikes me as odd that so little is being said about the upcoming show, which is due so soon. No sign of promotional material, such as a trailer, or official confirmation of the première date. We know it is the 6th March though.
It is only in the past couple of weeks that the Spoiler TV website has acknowledged the final few episode titles. Readers of this site knew them back in November!
There is the small matter of the 2018 Winter Olympics, held in South Korea, to get past first. NBC are the US host broadcaster for the event so will be devoting a lot of air time for the 17 day duration. Hopefully once that is cleared the remaining week-or-so will give them time for it. Who knows, the massive audience that parts of the Olympics coverage will get could be used to promote the new mid-season shows.
Not long now.
We’re already 1/12th of the way through 2018, more if you consider the number of days. To mark the occasion here’s a quick round-up of updates in the world of the Cold Case cast that aren’t Kathryn.
For a while now we’ve been talking about Danny Pino (Scotty Valens in CC) and his new project: the TV series Gone. Whilst nothing specific happened that we’re aware, the show seemed to be in limbo as we approached the end of 2017. It has apparently been broadcast in Australia but there had been little else from the US/German/French co-production. Things have definitely taken turn of the better in the past week though. The show has débuted in both Germany and France. If reports are anything to go by it did well in Germany, with a big audience share. Just after the New Year news broke that Danny’s other recent TV project, the Sons Of Anarchy spin-off, Mayans MC has been picked-up to series by the FX network. Expect to see it in late summer in the US.
Speaking of Gone, as we were at the beginning of the previous paragraph, turns out that our Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) has been holding out on us. As far as I’m know we had not been made aware of Tracie guest starring in Gone. Not only is this another reunion with Danny, along with a short film called Say Goodnight And Go they made late last year, it is a return to ‘the badge’ as Tracie is playing an FBI agent as does Danny. It also looks like Tracie has recently wrapped filming on the TV series UnREAL. After a uncertain period during 2017, when it didn’t return for season 3, UnREAL will be back in February. Plus, season 4 is already filmed and could be broadcast later this year. Returning to the emergency services theme, Tracie is due to guest star in tonight’s (31 Jan) episode of 9-1-1 on the Fox network in the US. This is a new series that started this year and focuses on all three branches of the first responders: firefighters, paramedics and the police. Plenty of scope for stories there, including cross-overs between the 3 sections. Angela Bassett (Strange Days), Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), and Connie Britton (Nashville) are amongst the stars. The show has already been renewed for a second season.
