Amber producers courted by Hollywood after controversy over THAT ending

The producers of Amber have been asked to work with a top Hollywood actress after the controversy over the show.

The RTE series was attacked online after huge anger that there was no conclusive ending to the show, with her killer never named.

But producer Paul Duane said the risk and “seismic Twitter meltdown” around the has caused Tinseltown to notice them.

He said: “The seismic Twitter meltdown around Amber was felt far away in Los Angeles, and brought the show to attention over there.

“Next thing you know, famous Hollywood actress name redacted  is on the phone to our director Thaddeus, asking him to ‘helm’ her next film.

“And we’re talking to producer of massively expensive science fiction blockbuster name redacted as he asks us to develop series ideas for his company.

“This was not the expected result of making an uncompromisingly difficult and emotionally harrowing low-budget Irish drama series but Amber has been a very strange journey, and it doesn’t look as if it’s over yet.”

Paul added in an article for Mostly Film tat they were lucky to get the support of RTE to never reveal the killer in the show, which just screened on BBC4.

“They understood that we weren’t making a cop show or a murder show, we were making a drama that had a point and a core reason to exist, and that it would try to communicate a deep understanding, learnt the hard way, of the realities of grief and loss,” he said.
