Cold Case Cast Catch-up – May 2017

john_finn_001_430x180

Make way for May 2017’s Cold Case Cast Catch-up. News of the careers of the other major Cold Case actors must be heard.

Let us begin with John Finn (John Stillman in CC). John (there’s been a lot of John in this post already!) has found himself in a film called Bent. It’s a thriller about a jailed police officer (framed of course) out for revenge on those that helped put him away, who gets caught up in solving a connected murder. Karl Urban (Dredd) leads the impressive cast, with Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), and Andy Garcia (The Untouchables). John is currently listed as playing ‘Driscoll’, which doesn’t give too many clues as to the nature of the character. No release date yet.

If you were to walk into a room that contained a certain Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) and shout “Is there a certain Jeremy Ratchford here?” he might very well run away. Or, he might reply in a rather affected tone “I am that man.” If he did it would help me out greatly in linking to this next item. I Am That Man is a movie returned to our revenge theme. It is the directorial debut of British actor Matthew Marsden. He’s had quite a career already having had short stints in two of the UK’s biggest soap operas (Coronation Street and Emerdale) and gone on to star in some major American films (Black Hawk Down, Rambo (2008)) and TV (NCIS, Castle, Two And A Half Men). And, he was in Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid with a certain special someone’s special someone. Not being a complete fool (he is British after all) Matthew has cast himself in the lead role. Alongside him are Christine Lakin (Family Guy), presumably as his wife, and Jeremy as Mike Spence. Filming only started early in May so we probably have a bit of a wait for a release.

Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) returned to the small screen in America just the other day in the Starz network’s new drama/sci-fi/fantasy series American Gods. It is available via Amazon Prime in some other countries. They are throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at this one. Lots of big special effects, big imagery, and big names in the acting world. Relatively unknown Ricky Whittle (another Brit, Hollyoaks) is the latest ex-con in this post who, on his way to his wife’s funeral, meets Ian McShane’s Mr Wednesday. Things take a turn for Ricky’s ‘Shadow Moon’. That big name cast includes one of the hardest working actors today Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Crispin Glover (Back To The Future), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) and Pablo Schreiber (The Brink), Peter Stormare (Fargo), and Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein), to name just a few. Tracie starred as a police detective (don’t know where they got that idea from!) in ‘Lemon Scented You’, the fifth episode of the 10 part run.

In other Tracie news the Broadway musical Falsettos that she appeared in has been nominated for several Tony Awards. The Oscars of the theatre, the Tony Awards 2017 ceremony is due in a couple of weeks time. It has already won several awards and is nominated for more. Break a leg!

You Get Me To Première At LA Film Fest

A somewhat surprising turn of events.

Teen drama You Get Me will be premièred at the LA Film Festival on Monday the 19th of June.

But wait, you might say, a film being first shown at a film festival is hardly an usual occurrence. It is practically the law

But, we found out earlier this year that Netflix had taken up Awesomeness Films, Bella Thorne-lead movie. Making it an exclusive to their media streaming platform as part of a multi-project deal.

That date may trigger a thought or two as well.

The 16th of June was due to be the day that You Get Me first appears on Netflix. To make way for the LA Film Festival première the online release has been pushed back to the 23rd of the month.

So, a future-looking service like Netflix has delayed the release of a new film in favour of the more traditional film festival route. Next they’ll be announcing it will be available exclusively at Blockbuster video stores on Betamax cassettes 5 years after hitting the silver screen. I am old enough to remember all those things

Very little press material has been released about You Get Me so there isn’t much more to say about the film even at this late stage. We still don’t know the role Kathryn plays, not even the first name of her character.

The première screening is due to start at 9:25pm at the ArcLight 8 cinema in Santa Monica.

You can see all the details of the LA Film Festival on their website HERE.

It’s That Date, KM UK Is 8!

CC_100th_430x200 Happy Birthday to KM UK!

Amazingly KM UK (this very site) has been running for longer than Cold Case did. As usual I’ve wheeled out the picture above showing the CC squad celebrating their 100th episode, a mere 2/3 of the way through the 7-season long run.

The past year has been relatively quiet on the Kathryn-front but the coming 12 months sees a movie and a new TV series on the way. And that is just what we know about at this stage. Lots to look forward to.

I won’t bore you with loads of figures but amazingly this little site of mine continues to receive over 1 million hits per year.

Thank you to all our visitors.

Reverie Trailer

We have video. Moving pictures made up of a series of still frames played in rapid sequence to give the illusion of movement!

A promotional trailer for Reverie has escaped into the wild. The two minute long piece gives, as expected, a pretty good over view of the set up, plot, and style of the show.

In another good news/bad news situation Kathryn does not appear, at all.

Find the video in the KM UK Gallery.

Reverie To Be ‘Mid-Season’ (boo!)

As NBC can give and NBC can, not so much take away, but move to one side.

On Friday we got the official statement that the new NBC network VR-based drama series Reverie had been selected from the many to become a series.

Last night that statement gained a ‘but’.

The primetime schedules were released showing where each existing and new programme would fit into the 8pm – 11pm lives of the American television viewers in September.

Notable by its absence was the Mickey Fisher (Extant) created, Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest) starring, Reverie. This meant the show would be held over to be a ‘mid-season’ release instead.

Mid-season is purposefully vague. If things go well for the planned line-up then Reverie will likely not see the light of day until the new year. However, if something happens, such as a new show absolutely tanking in the ratings (that’s a bad thing) then Reverie could be brought in off the subs bench to fill in. It would suggest a relatively short series order initially too.

So, not great news but a little disappointing after the great news that Reverie had been selected to become a series.

Network promotional ‘Upfront’ events have been happening today (15th May) in New York. At the time of publishing Reverie has not really featured but Sarah and co-star Dennis Haysbert (24) are present. Kathryn does not appear to be.

Some official Reverie artwork (one item of which can be seen above) has been added to the KM UK Gallery.
