 Ideally this post would be another of KM UK’s “Media Alerts” where I post about upcoming broadcasts of Kathryn’s work on British TV, like last week’s posting about A.I. Artificial Intelligence being on over the weekend.
The Rod Lurie (yes, him again) directed film The Last Castle gets its first airing in 18 months on the BBC here in little ol’ England (and Wales and Scotland) this coming Friday (13th Dec 2013) at the ungodly hour of 23:50. Details of the BBC broadcast can be found on their website. As KM UK has not covered The Last Castle in its four and a half year history this is a good excuse to finally do so.

 Yesterday, Fabien Martorell, the director of the The Coin, released a new version of the trailer for the short film that stars Kathryn as a stressed mother and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) as a homeless man.
You can see it HERE on Vimeo or a small version (as trailer 002) in the KM UK Gallery HERE.
Don’t be fooled by the “11 months ago” date on the Vimeo video, it is not the same as the one I posted about… not surprisingly, 11 months ago. The new edit has directly replaced the old one on the video sharing site so the link and other details are the same as before. You can tell it is different by the updated graphics (the new more colourful font for the stars names), the Big Bear Lake Film Festival award reference, and the recent quotes by the like of Darcell Carraway in LA Firm Magazine (as previously reported on KM UK here).
 How time flies. It only seems like yesterday we brought you the news that Kathryn had joined the pilot of a potential new TV series Surgeon General. The US is starting its Thanksgiving holidays and for many of the rest us the slow, yet all too fast, countdown to Xmas begins (we’ll return to that idea next week). Yikes!
Why did I bring Surgeon General up for this return to nostalgia corner? Well, it is because of the woman on the right in the photo above (I had to crop it like that our you might not be looking at the face 😮 ). That lady is Kristen Shaw and she has worked on more of director Rod Lurie’s projects that Kathryn has. Rod directed the Surgeon General pilot and drafted in some of his old friends to work on the project. Kristen featured in a couple of behinds the scenes photos from the filming of Surgeon General, as brought to you by KM UK here and here.
But we’re going back a little further than April for this post. No, it’s October we’re heading for. October’s before April right? It is when the October in question was in 2000! It’s as far back as our little way back machine goes at the moment. I’m not Dr Who after all, despite what you might think 
October 5th, 2000, saw the premiere of the film The Contender starring Joan Allen (The Bourne Legacy), Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Jeff Bridges (Iron Man), along with many others. Kathryn attended with uncharacteristically brown hair. Kristen had small role in The Contender, most notably in a scene with Kathryn that is one of the deleted scenes on the DVD release. You can read KM UK’s review of The Contender and the deleted scene in a post here on KM UK from almost exactly 3 years ago.
The Gallery has gained a new album containing 5 varied sized photos of Kathryn at the première of The Contender.
Many thanks to Alexia of Emilia Fox Online for her help on this one.
  
 Was it evolution or was it “intelligent design”? Schools and teachers being pilloried for explaining the science? America in 2013 or 1923? Some things don’t change over time.
Inherit The Wind is a play written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. It is based on the actual 1923 trial of a school teacher charged with teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution to his class in contravention of state law. He did so at the request of one of the students. However, in the play the story is actually being used as a vehicle to discuss McCarthyism of the early 1950s. The play was first performed in 1955.
 There have been many revivals of the play since that then and it’s been made into a film four times. The most famous celluloid version was the first. Made in 1960 it starred Spencer Tracey (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World), Gene Kelly (Singin’ In The Rain) and Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H). Our interest though, is in the most recent version committed to 35mm with an equally all-star cast.
Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot), George C. Scott (Dr Strangelove), Beau Bridges (The Fabulous Baker Boys), Tom Everett Scott (That Thing You Do!), Lane Smith (Louis & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman) and Piper Laurie (Twin Peaks) all bring their thespian talents to bear in a 1999 TV movie remake. And who is that playing Rachel Brown, the young woman caught in the middle as the daughter of the local preacher and girlfriend of the educator on trial? Why, can it be true? Mercy me, as I live and breath, if isn’t Ms. Kathryn Morris.

 It has been only two weeks since our last visit to nostalgia corner. As strange a place as it can be on this occasion it is following the normal rules of the passage of time.
Two weeks after the previously covered Nintendo Platinum GameCube launch party Kathryn was at the annual The Hollywood Reporter Honors Its “Hollywood: The Next Generation” event.
The 2013 edition of this event happened yesterday (6 November 2013). In 2002 it was on the 5th of the month.
The “Next Generation” in question are mainly 35 under 35 executives working across the entertainment industry whether it be in legal or marketing departments, management, or production. In the past they’ve also included separate sections for actors and actresses. In 2012 it was 5 of each sex. This year it appears to be just 5 in total across both genders.
What is not clear from my investigations is whether Kathryn was one of the chosen few in the class of 2002. I suspect not. If you know otherwise please let us know. A few celebs are invited to the event, the always delightful Kristin Davis (Sex & The City) was there in 2002 as well for instance.
Anyway, we have updated the Gallery with 8 photos of Kathryn attending the do.
