Kate Moennig is feeling some "Remorse"

I know the fact that there will be no more "Shane" is hard to swallow for a lot of people, but there is a light at the end of Ilene Chaiken's dark, nonsensical tunnel: It's Kate Moennig's return to the big screen.

The actress is involved with two upcoming movies, including a small role in Everybody's Fine, which stars Kate Beckinsale, Robert De Niro and Drew Barrymore. But fans will see a lot more of her in the psychological thriller Remorse, where she'll share the screen with Kip Pardue (aka Clayton from But I'm a Cheerleader).

In the film, which is currently in pre-production, Kate plays grad student Jamie (good name, btw), who befriends Doug (Pardue), who's wife is killed in a car accident. Grieving the loss of his wife, Doug retreats to the couple's secluded farmhouse, where a bunch of spooky stuff starts to happen. (It's always in the middle of nowhere, isn't it?)

You can get an idea of farmhouse vibe on the film's interactive website. It shows us things like a cherry pie in the kitchen, that was "a gift from the introverted Jamie. Their relationship begins over a slice on the front porch." Hey, didn't Shane do that once before?

The description of the film says that as Jamie and Doug become friends, "Jamie finds herself struggling with ghosts from her own past that carry a chilling echo of the events unfolding with Doug in that remote farmhouse."

It really does sound psychologically thrilling and altogether a different and un-Shane like role for Kate. Does it sound like something you'd be into seeing?

Kate Moennig

I'm happy to hear that she will be following the L Word with film roles.

 Also, Sara Foster (Amy from D.E.B.S.) is also appearing in Remorse.

Looks very interesting

I love psychological things like this, so i reckon i'd quite like it. It'd be nice to see Kate in something a little different too.

Oh, and also i'm loving the first photo of her, she's so beautiful and cool. I love the tattoo of the sparrow on the back of her arm!

Ash's picture

Yeah!

I'd see anything with Kate in it, and I agree that the first photo of her was pretty cool. Shows a feminine but male side at the same time that only Kate can pull off nicely. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna just stare at it now.

Got a style to flaunt? What do you wear or say to attract other women? Show it off in the 'What should be the lesbian indicators?' thread under Surveys and Questionnaires! Do it!

Great News!

Fantabulicious!

That's all I have to say.

awesome_possum's picture

sounds different

A very interesting role. definitely something I'd watch :)

And, come on, Kate Moennig in it - therefore, I'll shell out the cash :D

Wow, great pic of Kate.

Wow, great pic of Kate.

Just what I need on a sucky kind of day like today.

The movie sounds interesting. Keep us posted on it?

Good pic, bad pic

I'm well excited for this. She looks absolutely amazing in the first picture.

But who the hell dressed her in that second picture? If she dressed herself, Kate, tell me this: what were you thinking? Ankle jeans - really? Really?

kate

i'll watch it just so i can see what she'll be like in the role, and what the writers and directors will do to her.

I'm not normally into

I'm not normally into horror or thrillers, however for Kate... yeh, I might just go see it. Or at least watch it on dvd, to skip the really scary parts.

I never really thought I'd see a film just for an actor, and nowt else. Actually, I did it once, for Orlando Bloom, lol.

I like that Kate likes her own style, but really... the 2nd pic proves that even the hottest people can be done a disservice in the wrong outfit. Altho it makes me feel less inadequate.

Kate...

Is so yummy. I love scary movies so I'd probabbly have seen it anyways, but with Kate in it I'll be seeing it for sure. It sounds good. And I agree with the girl above me, the 2nd picture isn't very good of her. I've got a better one on my school binder. ;)
Yesi's picture

Interesting. I'll go watch

Interesting. I'll go watch it. I love to see her take on a different role.
jordan-writes's picture

Of course!

Of course I will see them both. Not because I'm some psycho Shane fan (sorry to the psycho Shane fans) but because I love the L Word ladies, and I want to see them do well after the show is over. They can't help it that the Chaiken is a weirdo writer. I've grown attached to them lol, I can't let them go quite yet. So of course I will also be watching The Farm, not because of the Chaiken, but because I'm a psycho Alice fan.

Um...

Nobody can make me go watch a scary movie, 

I am going to do this one time, just for kate!

Laura's picture

finally!!!

it's about time she got down with hollywood's hot shots!

but nothing can top her role as Shane of course!!

Anonymous's picture

I have a plan:

I'm going to watch both movies in the theaters and when Kate Moenning appears on the screen, I'm going to scream out SHAAAAAAANEEE.
Bobine's picture

Irrittated ...

Shane will always be Shane ... Anything else is just a de-Shaning ... As an actress, Kate Moennig made Shane so real, I'm afraid she'll be type-casted for life, not to mention her appearance in a late Law and Order episode ...

Shane

I mean Kate looks hot in that 1st pic.  good for her, getting work and not sitting back doing nothing.  Cant wait to see her in this new movie
Lauren's picture

That movie sounds stupid. I

That movie sounds stupid. I don't think many thriller/horror/scary movies are worth buying or even going to see. It's a hard genre to make a good, original film.
Nothing's picture

I have no idea what Kate looks like.

Let's just hope someone on that film set combs her hair out of her face.
Elle Girl's picture

If only

I'm very excited that she's got some interesting prospects to follow up The L Word. I really think she is a talented performer, but she hasn't been given much of a chance to showcase that outside of sex scenes (which, don't get me wrong, were fantastic). Now if only somehow Sarah Shahi could sneak into this one... :-P

carmbridge's picture

probably wont see it, but I think that top pic of her is sexy and I've never really been attracted to Kate/Shane
amx's picture

it will go as following:

i will watch it
i will not like it (not my favourite genre)
i will most definetely not care about that
come on, in the words of liz feldman.. shaaaaany-shane!!!
AngieWasInChi's picture

DELISH ...

DOH!  What were we talking about?  Oh, yes.  Of course i will watch both movies.
Brittany's picture

Where Kate goes...

I will most certainly follow!!!
murk's picture

You know

I know she's a good actress and I don't mean to put her down at all, but I just can't see her playing a straight woman.
AngieWasInChi's picture

She's too hot to play straight.

I think she's got talent acting in other roles so Kate will be able to pull it off.  But still ... she's too freakin' hot ...
who_took_the_chocolate's picture

i'm glad to see her

i'm glad to see her branching out:) i'm excited to see her play different roles:) go kate!

By sole virtue that kate is

By sole virtue that kate is in it, yes, of course I would be interested in seeing it!
