I was walking along the street today and saw a poster ont he side of a bus for Kate's new movie.... I saw here face and then saw the film title.....
The film is called the Stone of Destiny - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1037156/
And that's why I'm so annoyed! This film is probably one that is unlikely to be a hit in the USA, because its a film based on a Scottish story. It does have Billy Boyd and Robert Carlyle in it though so who knows.
Since around the 9th century, tradition holds that Scottish monarchs took their place upon the Stone of Scone during their coronation ceremony, until 1296 when it was captured by Edward I and placed in Westminster Abbey under a seat upon which English sovereigns were crowned, thereby showing the English power over the Scots. "Stone of Destiny" tells the true story of Ian Hamilton, a young student and nationalist, who was to attempt to return the Stone to its rightful place in Scotland and thereby right a long-standing injustice by the English.
Anyway, some of you may know that I do extra work in my spare time, I've been in a few adverts & in the Scottish Soap River City for example. Anyway about 10 months ago I was signed up to be an extra in The Stone of Destiny.... but they cancelled me at the last minute as they realised I had some highlights in my hair and they didnt want anyone with highlights as the film is set in the 50's...
I COULD'VE MET KATE! (ANd Robert and Billy but I'm more annoyed about Kate!!)
BAH!!!!!

Thanks for posting this Kelda! The story behind the movie sounds really fascinating. I'll definitely check it out when it becomes available over here.
And, I'm sorry to hear about your missed opportunity to meet Kate.

Why couldn't you have put a temporary dark rinse over your highlights? It looks to me like Kate's hair has highlights too!! Better luck next time! Maybe Jake will do a remake of Braveheart...now that would be fun!
Kelda:
So wierd! Just reading your post & on comes an advert for the film on the TV..... It opens here on 10 October.. and Kate in the advert doesn;t have to bad an accent.. but she only sayd "What could possibly go wrong?" so she can't go too wrong with the accent in 5 words!!
Apparently it closed the Toronto Film Festival.
Trying to find a clip of it online but no luck so far.. perhaps I should start a new thread on this?
Here's the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_of_Destiny_(film)

Here's the interesting Pittsburgh related factoid about her (this from her imdb profile):
"She is the great-granddaughter of the founder of the New York Giants, Timothy Mara and Art Rooney, founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers. She often sings the national anthem at Giants home games."

I wonder if our girl Kate is down in Florida today cheering for the Steelers in the Superbowl!? :D
