A Murder To Remember Written By Amber Benson Premiering In The USA On 2 August On Lifetime.

7/31/2020

Picture
A few days ago, Amber announced via her official Twitter account that she has written A Murder To Remember, a brand-new movie for Lifetime Network. A Murder To Remember is inspired by real events and based upon true crime author Ann Rule’s book, Empty Promises.
 
The movie tells the story of a young couple celebrating their first wedding anniversary by going on a camping trip. When events take a deadly turn, a young woman accepts an offer of help from another camper but will it be a decision she lives to regret.
 
After years of working as a successful novelist on her Calliope Reaper-Jones series, The Echo Park Coven Trilogy and co-authoring The Ghosts of Albion series with Christopher Golden, Amber is developing a growing body of work as a writer for television. 
 
A Murder To Remember is the third movie Amber has written for The Lifetime Network following on from 2017's Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer and 2018’s Terror in The Woods both detailing two tragic real-life murder cases. Last year Amber returned to fiction writing with A Murder In Mind and Death By Design both part of the popular Morning Show Mysteries series for Hallmark.
 
A Murder To Remember will be the directorial debut of Robin Givens and when Amber posted the news on her own Twitter feed she was quick to praise Robin and congratulate her on her success before modestly adding that she'd written the movie. Click here to see Amber's original tweet and you can see a video of Robin discussing the movie.
 
A Murder To Remember will have its US premiere on Sunday the 2nd of August at 8 PM ET.  Unfortunately The Lifetime USA website is not accessible to anyone outside of the US and when I tried to access it, it defaults to the UK website which doesn't have any information on the movie at the moment. I can't post the link but it should be available to anyone in the US via a search engine.
 
If like me, you live in the UK I have found articles on variety.com and meaww.com where you can find out more information about A Murder To Remember. Click the link below to see the trailer:

I’d like to wish Amber every success with the movie and I hope fans in the UK will have the opportunity to see it in the future. I hope everyone who gets to see A Murder To Remember enjoys it.

Morning Show Mysteries: A Murder In Mind Written By Amber Benson will have its UK Premiere on Friday, 24 July on Channel 5

After years of working as a successful novelist on her Calliope Reaper-Jones series and The Echo Park Coven Trilogy and co-authoring The Ghosts of Albion series with Christopher Golden, Amber is developing a growing body of work as a writer for television.
 
She researched and wrote the scripts for Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer and Terror in The Woods for the Lifetime network describing the events surrounding two real-life tragic murder cases. In 2019 she got the chance to pen a fictional murder mystery for the small screen when she wrote the teleplay for Morning Show Mysteries: A Murder In Mind for Hallmark which aired on their Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel in the USA.
 
The Morning Show Mysteries series centers on Billie Blessings (Holly Robinson Peete) a successful restaurateur who also hosts the cooking segment on Wake Up West Coast a popular TV show. Billie was once suspected of murder but after clearing her name with the help of Detective Ian Jackson (Rick Fox) the pair remained friends and occasionally find themselves at the heart of another mystery.
 
In A Murder In Mind Billie comes to the aid of a friend and former employee who has recently got her big break in the lead role of brand-new TV drama Kelso's Law. Excitement turns to horror as a dead body is uncovered. The finger of suspicion soon falls on Billie's friend after it's revealed that she was being blackmailed by the victim. Billie again teams up with Detective Jackson in a race against time to clear her friend and uncover the identity of the killer.
 
The exciting news for Amber fans in the UK is that Morning Show Mysteries: A Murder in Mind will have it’s UK Premiere on Friday, 24 July at 2:15 PM on Channel 5 and at 3:15 PM on Channel 5+1. 
 
There are different channel numbers depending on which digital TV platform you use I would check on-screen guides and any local channel listings for the correct channel numbers. At this stage I don't know if it will be available to viewers on demand via the Channel 5 website, if it is I will post a separate update to let fans know.
 
At present there isn't much information on the Channel 5 website, click here to view the listing. I've also embedded the US trailer below so you can get a taste of the movie.
I'm thrilled that UK fans will now have the chance to see and enjoy Amber's script in what promises to be an exciting mystery.
