Wow I can't believe this, but it's really great news in my opinion. The fact that she was able to re-sign with a major label is very encouraging as far as her career is concerned. And here most people thought her career was dead and over.

New Film is a go! HFP SIGNS DAVID ANNABLE OF BROTHERS & SISTERS; WEDLOCKED A GO IN MARCH It’s an early Valentine’s Day present for Hawaii FIlm Partners with the Hawaii-based company’s recent signing of David Annabelle to co star in Wedlocked, HFP’s first feature film. Wedlocked has been greenlit for a five-week Oahu shoot beginning mid March. Producers had hoped to begin filming this month but casting of the male lead took longer than expected, said Rann Watumull, producer and co founder of HFP. rannjpgAnnable, who appears in the ABC television series Brothers & Sisters, stars in the $6-million romantic comedy set in Chicago and Tahiti though all the film will be shot on Oahu… The production is still casting in Los Angeles for the other female lead… Annable gained recognition in the mid-2000s for his high-profile involvement as one of the lead characters, Aaron, in the drama/murder mystery series Reunion (2005). The program explored occurrences in the lives of six former high school friends from 1986 through 2006, and recounted events leading up to the murder of one of the major characters, or at least it was supposed to. Annable also is in the latest Nora Ephron movie Julie & Julia starring Meryl Streep…Brothers & Sisters stars Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, and Balthazar Getty. Annable plays Justin, a psychologically damaged Afghan war veteran with drug problems… Casting for the film, which will have some 350-400 extras “days”, begins Monday. Auditions will be held at HFPs Hawaii Kai offices. Veteran casting manager Margaret Doversola is doing Hawaii casting. Rene Confair and Angie Laprete who both worked on the recently concluded The Tempest is line producer and production coordinator, respectively…Art Rivers is doing locations and Lost production set photographer Mario Perez shooting stills… American Idol runner up Katherine McPhee was the first to be cast for the project. The film is written and directed by Rob Hedden, who arrives next week to begin pre production…McPhee will play Masha, a Croation mobster’s beautiful daughter seeking U.S. citizenship. McPhee has appeared in the film Crazy, a musical about Hank Garland, and an MTV series, You Are Here, which didn’t make it to the air. She also appeared in productions of Annie Get Your Gun and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir before auditioning for American Idol in 2005…www.timryansreelhawaii.com/?p=1179I liked this guy a lot in Reunion. He is a solid actor and I am pleased with the choice for the male lead.

I'm guessing her part isn't that big?

I just dug out her debut from my CD rack and it is one of my favorites. Every song is amazing.

A couple of things. First of all, Katharine is the female lead in Wedlocked. She plays the daughter and the center of the story.
Here’s the Wedlocked synopsis:
A young man’s goal in life is to be a National Geographic photographer but to support himself he’s a pet photo. One day the wife of a Croatian mobster comes to the studio with her prize cat to be photographed. A bulldog he’s photographing escapes and pummels the cat. The next time the audience sees the animal it’s in a full body cast…It’s not long before the photog is visited by the mobster’s goons who first manhandle him then take him to a restaurant for a meeting with the crime boss.The career criminal says “I can just kill you now or we can come to an agreement. You marry my daughter and in one year we have the marriage annulled and she gets a green card. But you can’t touch her because she’s going to marry my right hand man, Yuri.” The photographer agrees. Meanwhile to hedge his bet, the mobster tries to bribe an INS agent to get his daughter the green card one-way or the other. On the “honeymoon”, Yuri double crosses his mobster boss and kidnaps the girl. Now the photographer has to rescue the girl while he eludes the angered mobster, the right hand man Yuri, and corrupt INS agents. In the process, the photographer and his faux bride fall in love…
Second, The Storyteller is still a go and should be started after this film is completed. According to the director they are waiting for her to give them the date she is free from this film but everything is supposed to line up.

She looks like she's saying "why are you taking pictures of me?" in those shots.

New Bulletin!
Hi everyone. Well after reading all your suggestions and there are tons of them, it is overwhelming that most people really want video blogs. So, we are going to put some together in the coming weeks and keep things posted. There were so many suggestions that I am thrilled as to what we will come up with in the future. Because there is a lot going on and I am traveling a lot, it is going to take a little time to get everything up and running but we are all working on it. A week doesn’t go by that we don’t meet to put ideas down for when we get everything going. By the way, the label was incredibly excited about how many suggestions came in. They love getting ideas and making sure we can implement as many as possible.
So thank you again for being patient but I want it to be the best it can be and that is going to take a little time.
All my love,
kat

Wedlocked Movie story is breaking all over the web. "Dave Annable 'Wedlocked' to film Actor will star opposite Katharine McPhee By Jay A. Fernandez Feb 16, 2009, 11:00 PM ET "Brothers & Sisters" star Dave Annable has been cast in the romantic comedy "Wedlocked" opposite "American Idol" runner-up Katharine McPhee. Rob Hedden ("The Condemned") will direct from his own script. The film is being produced by Showcase Entertainment's Shawna and David Jackson and by Hawaii Film Partners' Rann and Gina Watamull. Annable will play a pet photographer who gets mixed up with a mobster and his daughter, who is angling for American citizenship. Things go terribly awry on their forced honeymoon. The production will start in Oahu, Hawaii in March while Annable is on hiatus from his ABC show. Repped by CAA and Barking Dog Entertainment, Annable had a role in "Little Black Book" and appears opposite Meryl Streep and Amy Adams in Columbia's "Julie & Julia" in August." www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i79da12a20aa4355af76a2ba07cb6f8b9

ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/02/exclusive-csi-n.html?xid=rss-ausiellofiles-Exclusive:Exclusive: 'CSI: NY' collars an American Idol Feb 18, 2009, 05:00 PM | by Michael Ausiello Categories: CSI: NY Katherinemcphee_l Music careers are so 2008. Following in the footsteps of Chris Daughtry, American Idol alum Katharine McPhee has booked a guest gig on CSI: NY. In an episode tentatively scheduled to air in April, the singer will play... er, a singer. There will even be a scene in which she is... well… singing. All kidding aside, the prime-time appearance is actually bringing McPhee back once again to her roots -- she was an actress first, then a recording artist. (Recently, you've probably seen her opposite Anna Farris in The House Bunny.) McPhee will next begin work on the romantic comedy Wedlock opposite Brothers & Sisters' Dave Annable. So what's your take, people? Coming down with McPheever or so over the celeb cameo thing? Your take below.
