Carol Kane and Kyle Massey Cast in Gotham

13 July, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News Comments Off on Carol Kane and Kyle Massey Cast in Gotham

Great casting news for Gotham as Carol Kane is cast as Gertrud Kapelput, the mother of Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), in a recurring role for the upcoming Gotham TV series. The Oscar nominated actress, for Hester Street (1975), will make her debut in episode two of Gotham this Autumn and is currently filming her role in New York with other members of the cast.

The character, Gertrud Kapelput, is described as being “proud” with a “faded beauty” and holding “delusions of grandeur.” This interesting addition to the cast of Gotham should provide some fascinating context and interactions to the back story of her son, Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin). Certainly, we’re excited to see what Carol Kane does in this role. Not only has she performed alongside another Oswald Cobblepot (Danny Devito) in the TV series Taxi; but she has been in some great films including perennial Christmas favourite Scrooged with Bill Murray and one of our favourites, The Princess Bride, where she played Valerie and wife to Billy Crystal’s Miracle Max.

Another cast member was also announced in quick succession with Kyle Massey being hired in a recurring role. Kyle Massey may be known to younger audiences for his Disney Channel credits in “That’s So Raven” and “Cory in the House”. Massey will play a neglected kid called Macky who lives on the streets of Gotham. This description makes us think that he could be involved with the orphaned street cat Selina Kyle. It’s interesting that Massey was a runner up in the reality US dancing show “Dancing with the Stars”, which adds another dancer to the cast of Gotham alongside Camren Bicondova.

What do you think about these two new casting announcements and the characters that they will play? Could there be a dance off in the future of Gotham? Let us know your thoughts on this casting.

Gotham Trailers, Clips and Videos

5 July, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News, SDCC 2014 Comments Off on Gotham Trailers, Clips and Videos

Since the start of May fans of the upcoming TV series Gotham have, in addition to interviews with the cast and characters, been treated to a host of video releases, including trailers and clips that are beginning to tease out the tone, direction and characters of the show scheduled for this Autumn.

The release of the official extended trailer for Gotham started it all off in early May and started a buzz about the show with fans enjoying and scrutinising the trailers, including ourselves with our “Gotham First Full Trailer Breakdown” episode of Gotham TV Podcast. This was soon followed by a “First Look” from the official Gotham website and trailers from other TV networks as screenings of the pilot episode of Gotham began to gather more excitement and generate momentum around the show. We then got to see a short but tantalising villains snap-shot from Fox Networks which was awesome and got ourselves even more excited about the show and now we’ve seen the companion video to Villains entitled Heroes, there’s no new footage present but seeing Jim and the young Bruce Wayne together as the city closes around them is worth watching.

Whilst most of the footage is from the pilot episode, there are some great shots of the City of Gotham and some iconic glimpses laid bare in the current releases for the Gotham TV show. We are certainly expecting new footage from the series soon, as the big comic cons are on the horizon and filming for the show is continuing apace in New York (aka Gotham). So, Gothamites, we have pulled together the current trailers, clips, snap-shots and other videos below and on our new YouTube Channel for you all to enjoy. We will of course add to this as more trailers and clips are released.
