Kathryn To Be At Austin Screening?

A quick follow-up on the news KM UK broke last week about the forthcoming Texas screening of Cougars, Inc.

The website of Historic Maggie Mae’s bar in Austin, Texas has been updated to include details about the 2 days of events. It opens with a “Make-A-Cougar-Hollar” (what ever that means!) cast party on Thursday night with the stars bartending. Friday is the screening followed by another party.

The Austin Chronicle website has a listing for the event. They’ve got the dates wrong (6th & 7th instead of 7th & 8th) and imply that many of the cast will be present, including Kathryn and Denise. It is not clear if it is just a listing of the cast names that readers may recognise or a guest list. At this stage we don’t know.

So far no news is available on any further screenings. Let us know if you hear anything.

Update: A couple of promotional images from the Maggie Mae’s website have been added to the Gallery. They give filmography details on the some of the film’s cast members.

Exclusive! Cougars, Inc. 3D – April Fool

The Cougars are Comin’ At Ya!

Today is the day that Cougars, Inc. is officially released to the world, or at least the North American parts of it, via on-demand services after its première last night. On the 10th of May the same region will be able to get our hands on the DVD and Blu-ray versions (21st April in Germany). But you may want to hold off on that hard copy purchase for now…

KM UK can exclusively reveal that two weeks after the discs are available a very special Blu-ray edition will be announced: Cougars, Inc. 3D. All the fun of the original but with added depth!

Filming was not done using 3D cameras so the effect has had to be added in post-production using a technique known as advanced proportional rectified interlace level field optical over layering. This is a complicated procedure that extracts depth information from 2D images and re-applies it in certain ways to create the stereoscopic effect. The time it has taken to perfect this technique is one of the reasons the movie was not released as widely expected in December 2010.

Huge thanks to Nisan Aptal for tipping me off about this.

New 3D-effect box art had been created for Cougars, Inc. 3D and KM UK has been able to obtain a leaked copy of it, as you can see on the right. A larger version is now in the Gallery.

Yes, this was a fake story for April Fool.

Cougars, Inc. To Get Hollywood Première Tonight? – Update x4

(16:30BST) I am hearing talk that Cougars, Inc. will be premièred tonight (31 March 2011) at an event in Hollywood.

No specifics just yet but it does tally with the date that has appeared in various places, including the Wikipedia entry for the film, in the past. It may more of a private function, assuming it is happening at all.

The screening in Austin, Texas was down as a première but no longer is.

Update (18:30BST): The evidence is mounting. Debbie Levin (a relative of Asher) and Cisco Adler (music writer on Cougars) have Tweeted about the première. Denise Richards appears to be on holiday so she is unlikely to be present.

Update 2 (18:40BST): I think this about clinches it. A Tweet and Facebook posting by Asher Levin.

Update 3 (19:40BST): I was waiting for further confirmation but now we have some. Party organiser Adam Glove says in a Tweet that the after party will happen in the Supperclub venue. The première itself will happen at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. No word yet on attendees from the cast.

Update 4 (21:30BST): I’ve been told that it is believed that Kathryn WILL be at the première. Great news! Thanks to Gabriel @ Reelist Productions.

If you attend the event please let us know what it was like.

A poster for the event (seen above) has been added to the Gallery.

Moneyball Could Be A Shutout for KM

Earlier this week some people in California were privileged to go to early previews of the movie Moneyball, which is not due for general release for another 6 months. A few articles have appeared, including this one on Hollywood Elswhere, giving a few quick opinions. NDAs probably prevent the posters going into too much detail but the general impression given is that the movie is very good. In particular Jonah Hill, normally seen in comedic roles, has been singled out for praise.

Our main interest in the film, a certain Kathryn Morris, goes largely unmentioned in the pieces beyond stating that she is in the film. That theme continues with comments I’ve had from a few of those that went to the special screenings. The sad news they report is that Kathryn is hardly in the film at all.
