I notice in some of these her arms seem discolored. A tan in a can mishap??? I doubt that. I guess they are still filming CC, she must be contractually obliged to stay away from all tanning products ;D I can't find an emoticon for "well duh!"  |

I have to gush again, but Kathryn looks like an angel in several of the shots. In my last posing, i ranted a little read above about how Kathryn deserves more media attention.

Thank you so much LII and RichE for rounding up all of these beautiful photos. I'm doing a "Kathryn at Sundance" post tomorrow at PTR, so having all of these photos rounded up already has saved me so much time.
Couldn't agree more. That is a really beautiful photo, and it isn't just the subject. The entire picture looks like the photographer captured a moment instead of looking like a posed photo. It's hauntingly emotional and beautifully stunning. Love it! Thanks for the wallpaper sizes as well RichE!!

I've been looking for a movie trailer or more screencaps with no such luck. I 'm curious too, especially being a huge Kathryn fan myself. I wish someone would release at least a trailer.

Here's two links I received from Google Alerts. One's about the movie, one's a paragraph involving Kathryn: Article One (With a picture of Kathryn) Such good friends: While Alan Alda and Kathryn Morris, stars of "Resurrecting The Champ," were being interviewed upstairs by "Entertainment Tonight!" at Main Street's Miners Club, Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller, stars of "Interview" (which Buscemi also directed), were being photographed downstairs by a Getty Images portrait photographer. As Morris and her minders wandered down the stairs, she and Miller exchanged short, but warm, greetings. Seconds later, after Miller turned back to the photographer, Morris mouthed to her assistant: "Is that Sienna Miller?" Here's the other: PARK CITY -- Sportswriters need their athletic stars to be big for them to be big. That's the sports-talk wisdom that is flattened in this knock-out story about a skid-row, one-time contender and a mediocre sports writer who find they don't need their inflated glory-days lies to puff themselves up.
Charged by a knock-out performance from Samuel L. Jackson, this compelling story of manly redemption will deliver a winning box office combination of word of mouth and ultimately step outside the generic ring of sports lore.
In this age of round-the-clock sports talk and super-sized sports events, journalists feed us the triumphs of the games and satiate us with the larger-than-life puffery of the winners. Ex-jock celebrities and egotistical experts rant incessantly about the moment's big victor, ever-hyping the transitory world of triumph. But we rarely see the winners down the road, when the arthritic knees collapse or the addled brain, jolted by concussions and poundings, no longer functions. "Resurrecting the Champ" shows the darker side of both the sporting world and its incestuous partner in profit and celebrity, the media who feed a couch-potato public the only news they want to hear about -- the glorious world of the winners.
In this sobering and uplifting tale, an ex-boxer (Jackson) shuffles in skid-row Denver, his brain cells sotted by beer but his will to live fortified by remembrance of his past, when he was ranked No. 3 in the world and sparred valiantly with Rocky Marciano. In his squalor he's stumbled upon by an end-of-the-bench sports writer (Josh Harnett) who needs a big story to revive his lackluster career. And the punch-drunk but still-cagey boxer serves up the inspiring words and tales of woe that scream "cover story" and certain glory days for the struggling scribe.
In short, we see the co-dependent nature of the relationship between sports figure and sports writer, and this is where "Resurrecting the Champ" delivers it's biggest story punch, an unexpected personal uppercut that knocks both men flat on their backs. Most gloriously, their "defeat" gives them the opportunity to discover personal strengths they never would have realized.
Jackson -- shuffling, bobbing, weaving, mumbling -- is terrific as the bedraggled champ. In his down-on-the-pavement strength, Jackson shows the innards of a man who recovers for one last go at life. As the sportswriter, Josh Harnett convincingly shows the stoop of a proud man carrying the weight of a legendary father on his back. As his high-achieving wife, Kathryn Morris is aptly overwhelming and supportive.
Smartly distilling their script from an L.A. Times magazine story by J.R. Moehringer, screenwriters Michael Bortman and Allison Burnett have woven a touchingly vibrant tale. Rod Lurie's direction is smartly measured, both robust and delicate, giving full wallop to the personal dimensions.
Technical contributions are top of the card, nicely framed by cinematographer Adam Kane's gritty compositions.

Sorry to post twice just found this one from this sit Comingsoon.net www.comingsoon.net/blog/2007/01/day_3_premieres.htmlNext up was Rod Lurie's Resurrecting the Champ, starring Josh Hartnett as Erik Kernen Jr, a Detroit sports writer trying to find the story that will get him taken more seriously as a journalist. When he discovers a homeless man who claims to be Battlin' Bob Sattlefield, a legendary heavyweight contender,who many believed to be dead for 20 years, Kernen sees his chance at the big-time. The Champ is played by an almost unrecognizable Samuel L. Jackson, looking haggard with ratty dreads and his distinctive voice reduced to a high-pitched wheeze. Before the movie began, there was sheer pandemonium as Hartnett and actress Teri Hatcher entered the auditorium and the crowd went nuts trying to get their pictures for a good 10 minutes until the ushers stepped in to get people to their seats. (I was sitting about three feet away from Hatcher and directly behind Camryn Mannheim.) I may have been too exhausted by the time I watched the movie to really appreciate it or to write a semi-coherent review, but the movie was good, very good, even on the verge of being great. But it's to be expected, considering that it's such a strong story with really sharp writing and a solid cast across the board. The first act of the movie isn't too groundbreaking, mainly dealing with the journalist-subject relationship between Kernan and The Champ, but after a surprising twist midway through the movie, where things start getting interesting as it begins to focus more on Kernan's arc. One might think that this movie would be all about Samuel L. Jackson's transformation into this homeless boxer, but it's more about Josh Hartnett's once again proving his acting chops with this breakthrough role. Although he looks a bit young to have a 6-year-old son with his estranged wife--a fellow journalist at the paper played by Lurie regular Kathryn Morris--there is far more depth to Kernan in that he needs to try to live up to the reputation of his deceased sports journalist dad while getting his own son to look at to him. Surprisingly, it's the scenes between Hartnett and young Dakota Goyo that makes this film so wonderful, although the rapport between Kernan with The Champ are also quite enjoyable. Terri Hatcher has a small role as a Showtime producer who wants Kernan to be an on-air interviewer at boxing matches, something that would further take away from his journalistic reputation. It was amusing to watch most of her intended comic relief scenes bombing with the usually receptive Eccles audience, although she does have a great monologue that makes up for the movie's most obvious stereotype. Hartnett is excellent in this movie, and while I'm hesitant to bandy Oscar consideration around so lightly and so early, this is a great shot for the actor, as well as for Jackson and another supporting for Alan Alda as Hartnett's unsupportive boss. This is another strong film from Lurie, as well as being an endearing, crowd-pleasing drama that shouldn't have trouble finding an audience if marketed right. As is often the case, especially when you have four writers on a film, this probably could have lost about 15 minutes and been even stronger. Samuel L. Jackson wasn't able to make it to the premiere but he Emailed Lurie a statement to read to the audience, and the rest of the cast each got their turn at the mic, including Hartnett, who looked very different than he did in the film with wavy dark hair and a small moustache, and Alan Alda, who stole the show with his speech about truth in journalism. |

This is just the right amout of publicity that Kathryn needs, but one thing I dislike that Teri Hatcher is getting more media attention then her.  Geez, doesn't anyone know that Kathryn is much more beautiful and talented then she will every be? I believe there are some people around that know.... Teri is a little older than KM. She's been at this business a bit longer. And after the success of Lois & Clark, and resurrection with Desperate Housewives (she'll be working off the back of those 2 for decades), she's a big name and draw. Kathryn will have her day. I've seen photos from Teri's version of the Mark Mainz shoot. There is just no comparison  |
