Amber is Moving to Morganville!

Hot on the heels of BLOOD KISS, Amber is involved in yet another fan-funded project!

Supernatural fiction fans out there, you'll no doubt recognize the name Morganville as the setting for Rachel Caine's phenomenally successful MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES novel series. Morganville is a town in Texas like no other in that it's run entirely by vampires. The series spans 15 books, and has millions of devoted followers. Unlike other similar series, however, (such as the ever popular Harry Potter series), Morganville has never been made into a film or TV series. Rachel has now decided it's time for that to change, and has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign which aims to produce a series of TV quality webisodes!

To direct and produce the series, Rachel has enlisted the services of Blake Calhoun who is responsible for bringing a string of the web shows to the world including: PINK-The Series and many more.

Now, remember when I said Amber was moving to Morganville? I was being modest. In fact, she will be RUNNING it! Amber will be portraying none other than Morganville's founder, Amelie. For Amber, with so many years of Buffy under her belt, it appears to be a case of "If you can't slay them, join them". Now of course we all know that it won't be Amber's first time playing a vampire. Who could forget her brilliant performance as Lenore on the hit television show SUPERNATURAL, or her voice over capabilities as Vampire Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds? That said, the chance to see her bring a famous vampire from page to screen with her considerable acting talent, will be something not to be missed for fans of both Amber and “Morganville Vampires”.

 I know I’ve talked about this recently but just in case you haven't had a chance to check out the rest of the blog and site here is how a Kickstarter works:

In return for a donation to help fund the project Rachel and her team are offering a range of rewards. Anything from thank you on Twitter, all the way up to a cameo role in the
series, or even your own co-producer credit and of course everything in between
including DVDs, posters, and more could be yours! The reward pledges start at $5 and go all the way up to $10,000, so there is something to suit every budget.

For more details on the project, direct from series creator Rachel Caine, please watch her video at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2059515068/morganville-the-web-tv-series and don't forget to check out the FAQ section at the bottom of the page!

 As always, thank you for reading, and now I'm off to find directions to Morganville! See you there?

Blood Kiss starring Amber & how YOU can make it happen!

6/10/2013

0 Comments

 
Welcome to Amber Benson.TV, a new fan site! In this blog I aim to bring you all the latest news about any projects involving the multi-talented Amber Benson.

The way I see it, now is the perfect time to launch the site, as Amber is currently involved in an exciting new project!

BLOOD KISS.
 
The good news doesn't stop there, however. The best part is, YOU can get involved and help make it happen!

What is “Blood Kiss”, you ask?

It is an ambitious project, comprising both a feature film and a graphic novel which are being produced simultaneously. Set in 1940s Hollywood it is a Film Noir thriller with vampires. The dark and original tale is penned by Michael Reeves, an Emmy award-winning writer and producer who has worked  on shows such as Star Trek the Next Generation, The Twilight Zone, and animated shows like Batman and Transformers to name but a few.

As I alluded to earlier, Amber is a woman of many talents. One we sadly don't have enough opportunity to sample, is a beautiful singing voice which was showcased in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More with Feeling(a.k.a. the musical episode). Since then, there have been precious few opportunities for fans to hear her sing. Luckily for us, “Blood Kiss” is set to change that. Amber will be playing the role of Ruby Day; a torch singer at her favorite night spot, Club Indigo.

Starring alongside Amber, and making his acting debut is Neil Gaiman (who, for the first time will NOT be playing Neil Gaiman) writer of the movie Stardust and author of The Sandman Series among numerous other books and graphics novels. Yes it's THAT Neil Gaiman!

Artist and comic book illustrator Tom Mandrake has been given the task of bringing The Blood Kiss graphic novel to life, and has already produced some fantastic artwork to wet our appetites. Don't worry. It's all on the official site, and details will follow; just keep reading.

So, we have Emmy award-winning writer Michael Reeves AND Neil Gaiman’s acting debut, alongside Amber's considerable acting talent. Not only that, but she's singing. What's not to love? I'm certainly excited, and I hope you are too!

Remember at the start of this post I said you would have the opportunity to be a part of “Blood Kiss” and help make this happen? Well here's how:

The team behind “Blood Kiss” launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the project, which has been a huge success so far and has reached its first target goal. The “Blood Kiss” team are not stopping there! The more money they raise, the bigger and better “Blood Kiss” will become. The good news is, there is still time for you to get involved with the campaign.

If you're unfamiliar with a Kickstarter campaign, here is how it works. Basically, in exchange for you making a donation to help fund the project, in this case anything from $5-$10,000, in return the “Blood Kiss” team are offering a fantastic range of rewards. Anything from a thank you message to tickets to the premiere of ”Blood Kiss” itself, including T-shirts, DVDs, graphic novels and everything in between. For more details on the campaign, how to donate, and all of the available rewards visit
 pledgebloodkiss.com.

If you're reading and thinking I want to be a part of this, but can't afford to donate don't worry there are still plenty of ways you can get involved and help make “Blood Kiss” a success. Help spread the word about “Blood Kiss” on social media; follow the campaign on Twitter (@bloodkissmovie), and or use the #BloodKiss. Like Blood Kiss on Facebook. Write a blog or vlog and/or post on message boards and forums about “Blood Kiss”, and get people talking! One important thing to mention here though, please don't spam. We want people to talk about “Blood Kiss” for the right reasons!

Thanks for reading this, and welcome to Amber Benson.TV I'm going to leave the last word on this to Amber herself, enjoy the video!

Thanks,

Joe
