So… Colony…

Colony_S01E02_promo_004Anything you’d like to tell us?

Sadly, it turns out that the promo video for the second episode of Colony, which was released last week after the first episode got its first network airing (it had been released online a few weeks previously), was somewhat misleading.

Around half of the footage in the minute long montage was not even in the episode in question.  Clearly they were clips from future shows.  Not happy!

This meant that Kathryn was not in last nights Brave New World episode.  Very not happy!

Could it have been propaganda released by a powerful, yet faceless, entity to control the masses?  Are they using trusted sources to legitimise their actions?  Hey, wait a minute…

We did get to see Kathleen Rose Perkins (who was great in the US/UK comedy Episodes) and Kathy Baker (Picket Fences).  That Kathy is really a Katherine.  So they did try and make up for the deficiency.  Sort of.

Information I’ve been able to find suggests that we might first see Kathryn’s Charlotte (not a euphemism) in episode 4, which is titled Blind Spot.  Salt at the ready!

However, with what we saw in the clip and some of the happenings in episode two it does give me a few ideas as to some future plot points around Kathryn’s character.  I’ll let you speculate on what they could  be.

Bone Tomahawk & The Perfect Guy Head Home For New Year

blu-ray_box_001 blu-ray_box_001

You wait ages for a new movie starring Kathryn Morris to come out on DVD/Blu-ray and then two come along at once!  Unpossible!

Next you’ll be telling me we may see her in a recurring role in a sci-fi-ish drama series for the USA Network which starts in the new year!  What!?!  Get outta town!

Both Bone Tomahawk and The Perfect Guy make their début on the take home DVD and Blu-ray disc formats tomorrow (29th December 2015).  This is north America only of course.  Links to Amazon’s US website are here and here.

It looks like Germany is due to receive releases of both in the coming weeks too.  It is not clear if there is region coding involved on any of the discs.  So, although I will remind you that it is possible to order discs from other countries (your local Amazon login will work in any regional Amazon website), please be aware the disc may not play in the devices you have.  Also, language could be an issue.  And delivery.

Feel free to let us know of disc releases in your area with a comment below.

Win A Signed Bone Tomahawk Poster – Dread Central

poster_002_1500x2215Following on from our post on Thursday about winning Bone Tomahawk on DVD/Blu-ray, how about a signed poster.

Horror news website Dread Central has such a work of art signed by various members of the success western.

Actors Kurt Russell (Death Proof), Patrick Wilson (Watchmen), Matthew Fox (Lost), and Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) have taken pen to paper along with writer/director Craig S Zahler, and producers Dallas Sonnier and Jack Heller.  Sadly Kathryn is notable by her absence from that list.

All it takes is a properly subject-lined email sent to the correct address with your details.  No question to answer, no “reason why I should win” sentence to write, or special slogan to create.  Just an email.  You have until the very start of the day on the 28th of December, taking into account the timezone.  Get it done before the 27th to be safe.

Unusually for this kind of thing it appears not to be limited to only those in North America.  At least if the asterixed line at the bottom of the page “Some International Shipping Available” is to be believed.

See the Dread Central page here.

The Coin Is Sent To Coventry

rootstoshoots_logo_260x206But in a good way, of course.

We might have almost forgotten about it but The Coin keeps on popping-up.  Perhaps it is appropriate that this old acquaintance has resurfaced just in time for Xmas.

Friend of the site writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell has let it been known that his Christopher Lloyd/Kathryn Morris starring short film The Coin is making another event appearance.

On Xmas eve-eve-eve in the city of Coventry here in the UK the Roots To Shoots organisation is holding another film night made up of short films from around the world.  It takes place this coming Tuesday, the 22nd of December 2015, at The Tin Music & Arts, The Coal Vaults.  It is in the heart of the city, right next to a section of canal

I’ve found almost no information about the films showing apart from what is apparently a rare showing of a short called Stew & Punch by Simon Ellis.  A dinner takes a turn for the worse when the hosts start arm wrestling.

The only other film, again apparently, being shown that we know of is Fabien’s project after The Coin called Unbelief.  Fabien mentioned it as well.  Unbelief is also a short and stars Tobin Bell (the Saw movies) and Andrew Howard (soon to be seen on Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. series).  One them is an assassin, it’s Xmas Eve.  I’m assuming that the assassin is on the ‘naughty list’ and is out for revenge  :-)

The show starts at 7:30pm and runs until 11pm so there is time for plenty of films of around 15 minutes long.  It is only £5 (less than $8 and €7) to get in with tickets only sold at the door.

You can find a few more details on The Tin Arts & Music website here.

Win US Bone Tomahawk DVD And Other News

poster_002_1500x2215Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Jar Jar Binks!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Xmas!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!  Star Wars!

It seems that every media outlet at the moment is finding ways to jump on the Star Wars bandwagon, slapping tenuous references to the movie juggernaut for the sake of a few extra clicks.

And why should KM UK be any different?  :-)

In less than two weeks the western horror film Bone Tomahawk will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States Of That There America.

I’m sure it won’t be the first or the last but the Irish Film Critic website is running a contest to win a copy.  No skill necessary, apart from the skill to type your details into a form on a web page.  See HERE for full details.  It is only open to US and Canadian citizens over 18 years of age.  Sorry.

Elsewhere the film has been receiving many plaudits.

Audiences Everywhere calls it the Best Romantic Horror/Western of the year.  Not sure about ‘romantic’ part, but even cannibalistic troglodytes need love too.

Bone Tomahawk‘s Craig Zahler features in The Film Stage‘s list of 2015 Best Directorial Debuts alongside films like Ex Machina.

The Phoenix Critics Circle nominated the film in the best horror category, and Richard Jenkins was included in the Best Supporting Actor short list.

Jenkins also gets a Best Supporting Male nod in the Spirit Awards nominations announced a few weeks ago.  The winners will be declared at the ceremony in late February.

Congratulations to all involved.
