 The entertainment industry news website Deadline broke the news that Matthew Morrison (Glee) and Kara Wang (Top Gun: Maverick “Top Gun: Maverick!”) are headlining a new movie called From Embers.
As you will guess as it is being reported on this site, Kathryn has a role in the film. Much like in the photo above taken on set, Kathryn’s part is likely to be quite small.
From Embers, which looks like it was known as From Ashes until recently, is written and directed by Kate Bohan (Harper). The plot involves Lily (Kara Wang) as a single mother dealing with the sudden and dramatic death of her husband, and trying to find out what happened. Matthew Morrison is a neighbour, a father to a young teen girl, an artist, with his own struggles. The daughter is played by Kate’s own daughter Kayla, who has starred in Kate’s previous films such as Harper. There is an element of autobiography in Kate’s work, as she lost her first husband. Harper is based somewhat on her own life.
One thing that may have drawn Kathryn to this project is that Lily’s son is autistic. I am sure she is keen to see accurate and positive portrayals of people with autism in the wider media.
The film is now in post-production, having started filming in July and completed in October. The process was interrupted for a few days in July due to the SAG-AFTRA strike action which halted so much TV and film production across the summer of 2023. Some small independent productions were given waivers to allow them to continue though. The union’s issues were with the big studios and they recognised the impact that the shut-downs would have on those outside of those systems. From Embers was granted a dispensation with an “Interim Agreement”. You may have noticed over the summer a lot more film directors giving interviews about their latest movies and actors only talking about specific work, and not allowed to discuss other projects. This was part of these agreements with the unions.
Here on KM UK we will certainly be tracking the progress of this film in the coming months.

 Distributor DYNMC Films have released an official trailer for the movie Hayseed ahead of a limited cinematic run and a date for the film to made available via streaming. It’s all go-go-go on the Hayseed front.
After a sold out screening on in Brooklyn, New York, here are a set of dates and locations for the limited theatrical release of Hayseed:
7th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle Royal
8th Nov, Los Angeles, CA – Laemmle NoHo 7
13th Nov, Detroit, MI – Emagine Royal Oak
14th Nov, Ann Arbor, MI – Emagine Saline
15th Nov, Lansing, MI – Celebration Cinema
16th Nov, Grand Rapids, MI – Wealthy Theatre
21st Nov, New York, NY – Village East by Angelika
That second one is in bold for a reason. Kathryn and her co-star Marta Piekarz (Queer As Folk) are due to attend a Q&A at the Laemmle NoHo7 event on the 8th in Los Angeles. Looks like it is a 7pm start time for the screening.
What’s more the film is due to get what is being called a ‘digital release’ on the 21st November. Presumably this is on streaming platforms, though which is not clear yet.
You can watch the official Hayseed release trailer on YouTube HERE.
A handful of screencaps from the trailer have been added to the Gallery. They are very similar to the previous trailer we covered but with better picture quality. There is also a very high resolution still and new posters.
  
 The Ante Up For Autism annual event took place again in late September to raise money for TACA (The Autism Community in Action).
Kathryn attended the event with her two boys, both of whom have autism. Nearly $1m was raised so far at this year’s charity auction.
Having been thrust into the world of autism by her family situation has become and advocate for the condition, having set up her own organisation, The Savants, and is an Ambassador for TACA.
A bunch of photos of Kathryn at the event can now be found in the KM UK Gallery HERE.
  
Let’s kick it
In a few days time (11th August 2023) a new version of the 1991 ‘classic’ movie Cool As Ice will be released by the German label Turbine Medien.
Ice is back with a brand new invention
Well, not really. The movie itself is the same. This new Blu-ray release is all about the extra features. There are actually various versions being made available, each in limited numbers, and there is one that combines them all. Plus, one with all that and a baseball cap.
Check out the hook while my DVD revolves it
The extras include a commentaries, interviews, books, and a DVD version in original 4:3 SD format.
We make it hype and you want to step with this
The four main variants are each is limited to 500 instances. The all-in-one + cap is only 32 in number. An odd choice of number, maybe they couldn’t get any more caps.
If there was a problem, Yo, I’ll solve it
Much more information on this new Cool As Ice release can be seen on the distributor’s website HERE. and they’ve released a trailer on YouTube HERE. There’s a brief glimpse of Kathryn from one of her two scenes at around the 20 second mark. See the previous post HERE on KM UK for more details on the movie itself.
Yo man, let’s get out of here
Word to your mother
 
 Kathryn’s day in New York last October was slightly busier than we’ve so far been able to report.
As part of promoting her Savants initiative supporting and advocating for autism at the 2022 New York Advertising Week event, Kathryn was interviewed by Dhomonique Murphy for Amazon Ads.
At the same event the previous year Kathryn did an on stage interview. This one was in a studio with no audience, which I think made it easier to give more detailed descriptions of her experiences. For people that really care about Kathryn, in parts it can be a slightly difficult watch as you learn more about what she has been through, and continues to face, with her boys. It sounds like they are developing well though. Don’t worry, we also get to see that amazing Kathryn smile we all love so much.
You can watch the entire 15 minute video on YouTube HERE.
A few screencaps of Kathryn from the video have been added to the Gallery.
Huge thanks to TJ for sending the details of this video to KM UK so we can share it with you all.
