Happy Birthday to Jameson & RoccoThree years, two boys, one day. Best wishes from everyone at KM UK. There’s been a small spate of Cold Case-related birthdays recently. We managed to let Jeremy Ratchford’s get passed us without remark at the beginning of the month. Apologies. And, just a couple of days ago it was the turn of Tracie Thoms to have an anniversary. KM UK added its own congrats to the Twitter throng.
There haven’t been such reports but I’ve got to open the post with something Back in 2012, just over four years ago in fact, we first heard of this short film by writer/director Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and Kathryn. Despite the length of time that’s passed the film continues to make occasional appearances at film festivals since it premièred at one in June of 2013. It won a directorial award last time out in April. There can’t be many films that have stayed on the circuit for so long. On Wednesday (10th August) Fabien, via the short’s Facebook page, let it be known that The Coin would be getting another outing. This time is at the Northeast Film Festival in New Jersey. The event starts on Friday the 9th of September and runs until the Sunday. The Teaneck Cinemas in the Teaneck township of Bergen County in the north east corner of New Jersey will be the venues of the festival. An actual schedule has not yet been released but Fabien suggests it will be on the Sunday of the weekend. We’ll let you know when we have more details. The Northeast Film Festival website is HERE.
On Monday-week (15th August 2016) a special edition of the movie Blu-ray is being released exclusively by the online retailer Zavvi. The ‘special’ is the case the disc comes in. Rather than the standard plastic box that Blu-ray’s normally come in (as Bone Tomahawk itself does, albeit with a black horizontal stripe across the top) this is a special metal box. It is being called a ‘steelbook’ and has different art on it too compared with the previously available versions. Check it out in the image above. Very skull-y. A larger version of the front cover image joins the one above in the KM UK Gallery. At £18 it is around the same price as the initial Blu-ray release so if you are going to buy a copy why not go with this one. You can find the details on the Zavvi website HERE. As I am sure you are aware by now Bone Tomahawk harks back to the classic western, a genre largely ignored of late, but adds in the more on-trend twist of a sort of zombie-like creature and throws in a big dose of a horror. It’s a horror western. Kurt Russell (Death Proof) stars as the sheriff who takes it upon himself to rescue some kidnapped townsf0lk from the murderous savages. Matthew Fox (Lost), Patrick Wilson (Insidious), and Richard Jenkins (Let Me In) join the ill-fate adventure. Kathryn has a small role as the wife of Sheriff Hunt. Lili Simmons (Banshee) is one of those taken.
July, July, July… Where did you go? It only seems like 4 weeks ago when we had our June Cold Case Cast Catch-up looking at the work of Kathryn’s fellow cast-mates from the long-running police procedural. Errr… Things weren’t looking good for a bumper crop this month but as usual Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) rides in to the rescue, which is why she gets pride of place above again. After a few months on the festival circuit Equity, the female lead drama about corruption in the world of finance, gets a more general US release this very day (29th July). It may not be a wide release though. Breaking Bad‘s Anna Gunn heads the cast alongside (co-creator) Sarah Megan Thomas and Carrie Preston (True Blood). Tracie has a small role with the name Melanie. Some blokes get a look in too with James Purefoy (Rome) and Nate Corddry (Mom) co-starring. That could well have been it for the month but a scroll down Tracie’s filmography on IMDb brings up something I’ve never heard of before: Living With Models. It appears to be a sort spoof with elements of Lost and The Hunger Games. Tracie is listed as “Hatch Girl” in three episodes of this, the third season. From a brief glimpse of her in the trailer (here on YouTube) she’s definitely in more more of a Lost-based element. All the episodes of season were released on the 20th of June and are available via the Living With Models website. John Finn (John Stillman on CC) is one of our more irregular regulars on in the CCCC-up. We last mentioned a new movie he is starring in called Gifted way back in October 2015. At the time we had the plot line and cast members but no date for the release. Now it is pencilled in for April of 2017. Chris Evans (the Captain America one, not the ex-Top Gear presenter one), Jenny Slate (Married) and Octavia Spencer (The Help) lead the cast. What is also down for 2017 but may not include John is the TV series Doubt. It is almost certainly headed for a 2017 broadcast now and in the past couple of weeks the initial episodes titles have been made known. It is still not clear if John’s “Don” has made it through the (pun slightly intended) trials of getting the show to the screen. Which leaves us with Danny Pino (Scotty Valens on CC), which I’m sure would be more than OK with many of you. The TV series BrainDead returned after a brief hiatus and did so in a new time slot of 10pm on Sunday, following a repeat of the Tea Leoni vehicle Madam Secretary. It’s politics night on CBS! The show continues with its mix of drama and sci-fi, with political manoeuvring and brain eating parasites taking control of people. The ‘previously on…’ section continues to delight with its funny song especially written for each episode. Which brings us back to where we started: Tracie Thoms. In piece written exclusively by me exclusively for KM UK I passed on the news I found elsewhere that Tracie would be guest starring in BrainDead. Well I’m doing it again. Just a couple of days ago the press release for episode 9, which has one of the wickedly long titles the show has become known for, “Taking on Water: How Leaks in D.C. are Discovered and Patched” had evidence that it contain traces of Tracie. It is due to air on the 21st of August.
After the US season one release of the sci-fi-ish drama series Colony on DVD last week, and the recent UK broadcast of the show on Sky, it was only a matter of time before we got the discs over here. The Amazon UK website has now got the home release listed for 16 January 2017. Saywhatnow? THE 16th of January, 2017? As in next year? Around the time the second season starts in America? That’s taking the mickey isn’t it? Presumably it is part of the deal done for the broadcasting of season one and two and hopes to maximise revenue for both Sky and the production company. It will allow the promotion of the boxset on the back that for the new run soon afterwards on TV. Or, it is a six months hence guestimate by Amazon that will be corrected nearer the correct time when it is know. Either way HERE is link to the online retailer’s webpage for the Colony season one DVD so you can pre-order it if you wish. At the time of writing the price is £24.99 (~$33 at the current rate). That’s possibly another place-holder which will be changed later. Submit your purchase before release and if the price drops, as it likely will, you’ll pay the lower amount. I’ll let you know if anything changes substantially. |
