In September it was revealed that Amber has written Oscar Pistorius: The Blade Runner Killer a new movie for the Lifetime Network. Lifetime have now confirmed that it will have its world premiere on Saturday, 11th of November at 8 PM/ 7 PM Central Standard Time.
Earlier in her career Amber starred in two original movies for the Lifetime Network playing Danni Hartford in a fun festive film Holiday Wishes and Lori Madison in the romantic comedy 7 Things To Do Before I’m 30, still one of my favourite movies starring Amber.
Her latest work for the Lifetime Network is very different as she steps behind the camera to write the script for the Blade Runner Killer. A movie which looks at the life of former Paralympic Champion and Olympic competitor Oscar Pistorius. A double leg amputee who learned to run using metal blades and conquered the track at Paralympic level and went on to compete in the Olympics.
The movie looks at the relationship between Oscar and model Reeva Steenkamp leading up to the fateful events on Valentine's Day night 2013 when Reeva was tragically shot to death in Pistorius's home.
The movie also examines the trial that gripped South Africa and the world. Oscar was convicted of culpable homicide (manslaughter). Later following an appeal he was retried and convicted of Murder. Oscar is due to face a South African Supreme Court again later this year as authorities appeal the length of his six-year sentence on the grounds that it is too lenient.
I've embedded the trailer for the movie below:
