Amber To Be Part Of The Morganville The Series Panel At San Diego Comic Con

7/18/2014

Rachel Caine the creator and writer of Morganville the series recently confirmed that not only will there be a Morganville the series panel at the upcoming San Diego comic con but that Amber will also take part.

If you are unfamiliar with the name Morganville and are hearing about the series for the first time let me get you up to speed. Morganville The Web TV Series is an adaption of Rachel Caine’s bestselling series of novels. The story is set in the fictitious Texas town of Morganville, which is unique because it is owned, ran and operated entirely by vampires. The series currently spans 15 novels but despite this success it has never being adapted for television or film. Rachel decided it was time for this to change and the time was right to take the world of Morganville from page to screen. To make this happen in the summer of 2013 Rachel launched a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising $75,000 to put the series into production. Thanks to the devoted Morganville fan base around the world it smashed this initial target raising a grand total of $81,752. This means that six TV quality webisodes of approximately 10 minutes each will now be made written by Rachel herself. The series was produced and directed by Blake Calhoun responsible for a number of successful web series including Pink the Series. Rachel has assembled a superb cast alongside Amber including Robert Picardo as Oliver. The filming of the series took place on location in Texas throughout April of this year.

It was also announced in April that Geek & Sundry TV channel and multimedia platform and Production Company co-founded by actress Felicia Day announced it would be adding Morganville to its line-up of shows including Tabletop and Caper from the summer of 2014.

For more information on Morganville the series check out their official website morganvilletheseries.com or to view our own dedicated Morganville page click here

The Morganville panel will take place on Friday, 25 July between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM at: Geek & Sundry Lounge 
Jolt 'n Joes
 374 4th Ave.
San Diego, CA  92101.

Joining Amber on the panel will be Rachel herself, producer and director Blake Calhoun, Ryan Copple from Geek & Sundry and the panel will be introduced by Felicia Day.

I hope everyone who is able to attend as a fantastic time!

Amber is set to star in the film Desire Will Set You Free written and directed by Yony Leyser who will also star in the film as well. The film centres on the relationship between Ezra (Yony Leyser) who is an American of Israeli-Palestinian decent and Sasha (Tim-Fabian Hoffman) and aspiring Russian artist and sometime street hustler.

The film is based on a true story and will take a contemporary look at the gay and underground scene in Berlin where the film was shot. Amber will be playing the role of Jane no further details have been released about Amber’s character as yet indeed if I've spelt her character's name incorrectly I apologise to both Amber and Yony in advance.

The good news for Amber fans is that the filming of Desire Will Set You Free has already been completed however Yony and his team are now looking to raise the necessary funds needed to complete postproduction and have turned to Kickstarter to raise the $33,000 they need.

The Kickstarter campaign has already begun and will run until 7 August 2014 6:47 AM GMT. In return for backing the film there are various rewards on offer, everything from a thank you on the official Desire Will Set You Free website to a DVD of the completed film or even an associate producer credit and much more.

To find out more about Desire Will Set You Free click the link to their Kickstarter page below and look out for Amber in the accompanying video too.

AmberBenson.TV would like to wish Yony good luck with the Kickstarter campaign, Desire Will Set You Free is an interesting project and of course we are all eager to see Amber on the big screen again.

Amber To Narrate One Of The Audiobook Versions Of Lock In

7/3/2014

0 Comments

Amber is set to lend her vocal talents to another exciting audiobook project, as she will narrate one version of Lock In by John Scalzi.

It is not a typing error when I tell you that Amber will be narrating one of the versions of the audiobook because John and Audible have taken the unusual step of recording two entirely separate versions of Lock In. This is because the gender of lead character Chris Shane isn't revealed and why John chose to have the two different versions made so 
one will be narrated by Amber and the other by her friend and fellow actor Wil Wheaton.

Locked In is a futuristic thriller where the mysterious and deadly Haden Syndrome has devastated the planet. Twenty-five years after the appearance of this deadly virus two FBI agents Chris Shane and his veteran partner Leslie Vann are sent to investigate a Haden related murder at the Watergate Hotel unaware they are about to uncover a much bigger mystery.

Lock In will be released on 26 August this year but it is available to pre-order via both the US and UK Audible websites now. Both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members. Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download Lock In as well as access to a vast library of audiobooks also available on the site. The number of books you can download in the month will depend upon your individual package for full details see the respective Audible websites.

Audible.com are offering both versions for the price of one if you order the Amber Benson version you will receive Wil Wheaton's version at no extra cost or vice versa this offer is available until 11:59 PM on 22 August EST. Sadly this offer is not available to customers in the United Kingdom however the good news is both versions of the audiobook are available to pre-order from the UK site now. There are no prizes for guessing which version I have pre-ordered sorry Wil I'm sure your version is excellent but as you might expect Amber was the narrator I picked :-)

For full details on this special offer available to customers in the United States click here


If like me you are in the UK you can pre-order Amber's version of the audiobook here and Wil Wheaton's version here both audiobooks are unabridged I'm really looking forward to hearing this thriller for myself.
