Amber Tamblyn in The Russel Girl
Amber Tamblyn is going to star opposite of Mary Elizabeth Mastreantonio, Jennifer Ehle, Tim Dekay and Henry Czerny in the CBS TV movie The Russel Girl. Amber will play an aspiring medical student who visits her home town to share important news with her family but ends up confronting her own past.
The plot description is a bit vague which is quite normal this early in development. Still it doesn’t sound like anything special; it’s just a TV movie and those rarely have great original plot lines.
This seems just to be side project for Amber seeing she also has three cinematic releases planned for 2008. Though none of those roles seem to stand out right now (though you never know until a movie is released) their still a level higher than a CBS TV movie. It makes me wonder why she would take such a role; the only thing I can think of is that it’s a favour to CBS. The network that used to air Joan of Arcadia or who knows the script might be quite good.

The Russell Girl will air tomorrow night on CBS, 9pm EST.
Amber will also be in the thriller movie “Spiral” which gets a very limited release, I believe Feb 8th and will be released on DVD Feb. 19th.
