Happy Mother’s Day – Update

From everyone here at KM UK

We’ve all got one, even if we don’t always appreciate them. The least we can do is have a day in their honour.

Mother’s Day is not an occasion we’ve traditionally marked here on KM UK. That is partly down to the fact that it hasn’t fitted in with the site’s theme (Kathryn), and partly due to the fact that in the UK we have Mothering Sunday in March whereas much of the world holds it on the second Sunday in May. Your mileage may vary though as there is quite a spread of dates used across the year depending on your location on the global. Check local calendars for info.

However, after what we call “the incident” we now have a good reason for jumping on the US-lead bandwagon and celebrating Mother’s Day today. I have long-time reader Gina to thank for reminding me when she kindly sent me some fan art she created especially.

Sections of Gina’s image can be seen around this post. Click on a pic to go to the Fan Art Wallpaper section of the Gallery to see it in full.

If you want to have any of your works of art displayed here then please contact me.

Update: Kathryn’s partner Johnny Messner has posted a photo of her and the boys on Instagram with a heartfelt messge to mark the day. A copy has been added to the Gallery.

1st Poster For Bone Tomahawk

And so it continues…

Overnight (UK time) the first poster for the film Bone Tomahawk was released by the production company Caliber Media. You may have noticed it already. I slipped in a small copy above (full size in the Gallery). Try squinting

We know that Kathryn’s role in Bone Tomahawk as the wife of the Sheriff played by Kurt Russell will be quite small. So it is not a big surprise that Kathryn does not feature in the stars pictured or named in large letters in the poster. However, you never know how things can change once a film goes into post-production. Kathryn’s filmed scenes could easily have been lost in the editing process.

The very good news is that if you look closely at the lower section of the poster you can see this:

There she is, second to be listed after the actors highlighted in the main image.

As mentioned previous Bone Tomahawk is due to be showcased in some form, probably only to those in the trade, at the Cannes Film Festival starting next week. Hopefully they’ll be more news then.

An actual release date has not been announced yet and I understand that the film is in the final stages of audio post-production.

A-musing Reminder Of Doctored History

It’s been a while since we had reason to post about the not picked up TV drama pilot The Surgeon General. Not since the last time in fact

In July of 2013 we saw the surprise (and possibly accidental) publication of a promo video for the show. By then we already knew the show had not been selected for the 2013-2014 TV season by the CBS network. That decision was clear (largely by omission from announcements, but also by director Rod Lurie Tweeting about it) a couple of months earlier.

Much like the promo video release we can still get the occasional pleasant surprise, even 2 years later.

Rod Lurie spent a bit of time yesterday (18th April) reminiscing on his Tweeter feed with photos from various projects he’s been involved with over the years. One of them (now in the Gallery) was the one you see above. That is Rod and Kathryn on the set of The Surgeon General.

Rod should be well known to all Kathryn fans because she has been in most of his feature films. She starred in Deterrence, The Contender, The Last Castle (in scene that didn’t make the final edit) and Resurrecting The Champ. For a long time I’ve thought of Kathryn as probably being Rod’s muse. He’s now confirmed my feelings by posting the above photo with the message:

#KathrynMorris is closest person I have to a muse. In 4 of my films. Here I direct her in a pilot #SurgeonGeneral.

Hopefully they’ll work together again soon.

Thanks to Rod for the trip back down memory lane.

Kathryn’s Crowning Glory In Retirement – April Fool

kathryn_dentist_430x180 As I am sure you are all too aware Kathryn’s been a bit quiet on the acting front since Cold Case ended.

Yes, there have been a few movie roles (Cougars Inc., The Coin, Roommate Wanted, Bone Tomahawk) and more possibly on the horizon (Alice Sweet Alice remake) but that surely can’t be enough for one as talented as Kathryn?

KM UK has discovered that Kathryn plans to permanently retire from acting in the next 12 months and take up a whole new profession, albeit one tangentially connected to show business.

I’m sure we’ve all fallen in love with Kathryn’s dazzling, room-lighting up, heart-melting smile. See right for a fantastic example. It seems to come so naturally to her. However, it is not as natural as it might appear. Being so common it should come as no surprise to anyone that Kathryn benefited from the work of dental surgeons to help improve the quality of that beaming grin. Fillings, crowns and whitening have all been employed.

Recently leaked documents acquired by KM UK revealed that over the past couple of years Kathryn has been learning the secrets of dentistry so she can give back to Hollywood. This way she can help rising new talents as well as established stars achieve their best look.

In January of 2013 Kathryn enrolled in the Association For Orthodontistry, Ophthalmology & Lips which, as the name suggests, covers many aspects related to the face. It is like being an ear, nose and throat doctor but much more upfront and external. Under the tutelage of Professor Dr. Phil McAvity DDS Kathryn has specialised in dental surgery. After initially having to learn the basics of medicine, having never studied it before, she has spent much of the past 6 months learning the finer points of the craft.

KM UK contacted the association to see if they could shed any further light on this. Their spokesperson Will E. Spielman gave us the following statement:

We can confirm that Kathryn Morris is a member of the Association For Orthodontistry, Ophthalmology & Lips. She has been an exemplary student taking on-board an amalgam of work. The impression she left on all who worked with her was that she will extract the best from herself in the pursuit of her goal. In few months she will complete the course, capping it all with the crown that is her degree. We expect Kathryn to bridge the gap to her new career as we say tartar to her. Acting’s floss is dentistry’s gain.

Everyone here at KM UK wishes Kathryn all the best on her new direction in life.

I for one will be booking my first appointment with Dr Morris as soon as I can. Any time after 2:30 is good for me 😀

Update: As many of you will have guessed this was the usual annual attempt at an April Fool’s Day joke. A.F.O.O.L., spokesperson Will E. Spielman, Phil McAvity, 2:30, all the puns in the statement? It may not have fooled you but hopefully it was a little entertaining.
