Kathryn @ Resurrecting The Champ Première – Jan 2007 – Update x2

Resurrecting_The_Champ_2007_Sundance_Portrait_Session_001Kathryn made further appearances on day 3 (Kathryn’s 2nd) of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

I should start out by saying that the image above is not part of this update.  It is part of a portrait session for the cast of Resurrecting The Champ and it did happen on the same day.  As much as I’d love to post an update on it, and savour every extra pixel, I did that last July with the largest versions available :-)   No, I’ve used it because it is my favourite Kathryn photo and I don’t need much of an excuse to post it :-)

Along with the photoshoot, the 20th of January 2007 saw Kathryn attend another of those product promotional events, this time at the Marquee Lounge, the Resurrecting The Champ première and after party (8 new images), and another promo event at the Heineken Green Room.  In total we have 21 more images across the three events.

Day 4 coming soon.

Update:  An additional photo from a Q&A at the première was added just after this article was posted.  The image has since been upgraded to one much greater size.

Update 2:  Two more large images of Kathryn with her co-star Josh Hartnett at the première.

Moneyball Out On DVD Today In UK

blu-ray_001Moneyball finally makes the conversion from Dollars to Sterling  :-)

Short of a “directors cut” release, or Kathryn’s other scenes that hit the cutting room floor finding their way out into the open via some other means, this is likely to be our last post about Moneyball.

Today sees the UK home release of the movie, based on the book by Michael Lewis, that tells the story of the Oakland Athletics (the “Oakland As”) baseball team and their attempts to break the mould.  In a sport dominated by money and those with lots of it, how can a small team with very little (in comparison at least, they had still had millions after all) compete.  By thinking outside of the box.

Hitting American cinemas in September 2011, the UK got it’s first showings in November.  The DVD and Blu-ray versions were shelved (as in put on the shelves :-) ) in American stores in January this year.  As the US Blu-ray was region free it is very likely that the official UK version will be identical to it.  The descriptions of the extras certainly looks the same so UK shoppers should get to see one of Kathryn’s scenes with Brad amongst the deleted set.  The DVD may vary though, despite the film to PAL video conversion being done more simply than from film to NTSC.  In the past extras such as interviews have often been done on video, which complicates the conversion (NTSC to PAL) so they drop them.  In these days of every thing being digital that may no longer be the case.

Moneyball received many award nominations, mainly for Brad’s acting and Aaron Sorkin/Steve Zaillian screenplay, and won several but missed out on a coveted Oscar.  However, congratulations to all involved.  I doubt anyone expected a movie, especially a sports movie about a small team, that went through a lot before it even got made, would go on to become such a success.  They should make a movie about it…  Oh, hang on!  :-)

Thank you to Moneyball for giving us so much to talk about this past couple of years, it is just a shame that we ultimately had so little to show for it.

Murder She Wrote: A Box Set To Die For

screenshot_001Before Kathryn became Lilly, she got a taste of what it was like to be the other side of the interrogation room table.  The wily blonde still got her man but in this instance the blonde wasn’t Det. Rush, it was Jessica Fletcher, as played by Angela Lansbury in the long running TV show and four TV movies of Murder, She Wrote.

Released on Tuesday (14th Feb 2012) that quartet of movies is now available as a DVD box set in America.  You can find it on the US Amazon store HERE.

Four years after a small role in one of the last ever episodes of the Murder, She Wrote TV series Kathryn starred in the second of the TV movies.  A Story To Die For (the subtitle of the movie we are interested in) sees angel of death Jessica Fletcher (what? people are always dying when she’s around!) at a writers conference when, predictably enough, a murder takes place (see, told you!).  Kathryn is Patricia Williams, an aspiring writer herself, who is at the conference to act as an assistant to Warren Pierce (an old friend of Jessica’s and also a writer).  Eye-witnesses cause Patricia to come under suspicion and see her questioned by the police.

Screencaps of Kathryn in A Story To Die For have been in the KM UK Gallery for a long time and can be found HERE.

Moneyball Deleted Scene Full HD Screencaps

screenshot_001You want the good news or the bad news?

Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that so I’ll assume you said “bad”.  The bad news is that I’m able to confirm that Kathryn does not feature at all in the extras on the US Moneyball Blu-ray, except for the deleted scene we already know about.  Get the Blu-ray as it is still worth watching in HD.  Robin Wright goes unmentioned as well, but at least she got a scene in the flick :-?

And the good news… no peaking at the subject above… what do you mean you’ve already read it?  We’ll if that’s your attitude I’m not going to tell you  :-x

Oh, OK, I can’t stay mad at you :-)   The good news is that we now have 30 full HD (1080p) screencaps of the lovely oh-so Kathryn from the Billy/Tara restaurant scene.  You can find them in the Gallery.  They are a little grainy, which is probably down to the darkness of the restaurant setting.

Moneyball Out On DVD/Blu-ray In US – 500th Post!

deleted_scene_001_006Moneyball is out on DVD and Blu-ray in the USA today, the 10th of Jan 2012.

I know there isn’t much for us Kathryn fans to see but the discs will have at least one, almost certainly only one in fact, deleted scene that features her in the role of Tara, Billy Beane’s second wife.  Previously KM UK brought you an exclusive preview of the included deleted scene with Tara and Billy sharing a meal at a restaurant.  Billy is, of course, played by Brad Pitt.  Kathryn certainly filmed other scenes that were also cut from the film, it does not look like these will be released.  A great shame indeed.

If you are in the US and pick up a copy of the home entertainment version of Moneyball please let us know what you think.  What did you think of Kathryn’s performance?

Moneyball has certainly proved popular with the viewers and critics alike, and it has been nominated for multiple awards.  The UK release of the DVD and Blu-ray is set for the 19th of March.

Update:  This is the 500th article posted on KM UK.
