The elevator had arrived on the 11th floor with a soft ping. The doors slid open and he could leave the narrowness. The Major Case Squad was busy like always, but there were two empty chairs – one red, the other yellow. He felt the need to stroke his old desktop.

She was alone in one of the interview rooms, completely absorbed in her work, but his gaze made her look up. Finding his eyes, she shared a warm smile with him. He wanted to meet her, but…

“Hey Goren, I have an offer for you!” his old friend guided him away.

NBC Today Show

You know that I also need to post that much too short but wonderful interview. I love Kathryn's dress and she must love her shoes. She wore the Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels in her last three appearances, too. Too cute in my eyes.

I really like the dress and need to check if it is the same Kathryn wore at the Tamsen Fadal interview. --> yes it is!

Re-blogged plus adding of two more pictures found on TheReel.

Back from Paris to Mother's House

I’m back from Paris. It was a great but exhausting trip. Vacation photos will follow later the week. Now I finally want to publish the entire new exciting Mother’s House news.

As I opened the letterbox yesterday I also got a big envelope of Peak Road Productions. I reacted like: woah, what is inside? Ingrid was so kind to send me the Mother’s House Press Kit – CD. The producers add this item with biographies of cast and crew, poster, trailer and more to all festival requests. So kind that they also think about me.

Maybe you saw on the MH facebook page the first festival acceptances. Mother’s House will be screened in June at:

• 06-08-2011: Hoboken International Film Festival
- ticket information

• 06-10-2011: 31th Annual Breckenridge Festival of Film - ticket information

Ingrid also told me that their little masterpiece is accepted at LIFF 28th Season (International Long Island Film Festival). I couldn’t find any more information yet.

Chris Washington published his interview with John Cohoe the real owner of Mother’s House.

1. What was your first thought when the producers asked if they could use your house for the movie?

“My first thought was, are you kidding? Then, after thinking about it I thought it might be kind of cool.”

2. Was it weird for you to see a ton of crew members working in your house?

“In a way, yes. I wondered if the systems, like septic, electric etc. were up to the task. And there was no lawn after the shooting. It’s growing back now.”

3. Out of all the rooms in the house, which one is considered to be your favorite?

“My favorite room, my toy room, was not used in the movie. I go into it to play with my collection, much the same way Tom did in his room in the movie.”

4. Has this movie made you look at your house in a different way?

“Yes. The rooms that were used in the shooting were repainted to our specifications. A good thing. I know our 1860 house has stories to tell, and I occasionally hear some of them from old timers in the area.”

5. Would you like your house to be used again in a movie?

“Sure. What’s in it for me? :)”

Long weekend in Paris

I'll spend four days in Paris with my mom [our little 1st of May tradition]. We will visit Paris for the second time. The last short stay is 10 years ago. To make the time short until I'm back 28 Vincent D'Onofrio icons for guys20in20:

Visit all my 20 icons here at havers LJ.

Read you next Tuesday.

Found via twitter. When you can tell me more about Tamsen Fadal that would be cool. Is that a morning tv show with a podcast or something like this...

Kathryn Erbe taught me a few of her Law & Order, Criminal Intent moves!

Mhm and wow, Kathryn in a short dress. I badly need to see more of that outfit.


EDIT! TheReel found what I was looking for:

More Upfront pictures

It's always good to check the known picture source twice. This way you have luck in the most cases, finding more and bigger photos of interesting events. You also should cross-check other blogs which pick up the same topic.

This way I found a few more photos of Kathryn and Vincent at the USA Network Upfront. There are also two clips. Enjoy!

One year is over...

Today is my first Blog anniversary. Wow, passed really a whole year? Of course I posted a lot of stuff in the last 365 days. This will be number 266. Oh, 1.4 posts a day.

I started my little project to celebrate Kathryn Erbe and her wonderful talent and work. I hope I found a good mix of information about her movies and projects as well as showing my own little creations.

But when looking at my statistics I think, yes I’m on a good way. For the first six months I collected decent ratings. Then I posted the pictures of Rufus Sewell and Donald Sutherland at the Premiere of The Pillars of the Earth in Berlin, October, 27th and got a first high peak at my blog clicks but a little pain in my heart. Great, I thought; the first not related post about Kathryn gained the best place…


I didn’t give up. It is too much fun to blog and there were so many new and interesting projects to report on and possibilities to redesign the blog. [I love my new tabs and enjoy to extend them.] There are five current movie projects, the filming and airing of Criminal Intent S10 and a few red carpet visits plus CI professional and amateur pictures in 2011. I think you all like to watch. When I post Kathryn in flurry of flashbulbs you click. So yesterday you gave me another high high high peak. The best in Lovely Kathryn’s history. But I understand too well. Kathryn and Vincent were looking amazing at the USA Network Upfront.

I have 19 official readers and I thank every single one for staying with me. I love every comment I get on a new post. I try to answer every time. Now and then it last a few more days than I want, but I try to be in contact.

It was the right decision to start the Kathryn Erbe’s first blog experience. It’s cool to write filmmakers and getting answers of them. It’s an exhausting pleasure to go on picture hunts after new premiers. I love to make more and more and more icons, banners, animations and to write fanfiction.

What will bring the future? I don’t know [I hope Criminal Intent episode 200] ;o)

I wanted to make a Mother’s House on Festivals post for days, but all the Rispetto press was overwhelming and crushing.

As long as Kathryn will be busy, I also want to be busy. She is worth the dedication and I’m proud to be a tiny part of it.

All the best from Berlin and salute to the next twelve months,
Antje
