The calender year as well as laurenambrose.org’s first year online is drawing to a close.

2009 has been one of Lauren’s most eventful years. This year saw Lauren starring in a Broadway production, the release of her first Box Office #1 (yes, it counts) a foray into live music and a sprinkling of indie releases for good measure.

To end our first year online I’ve uploaded a batch of goodies. Some rare, some I’ve foolishly omitted in the past, but all new to the site.

I’ve just heard word on a possible new film project starring Lauren. An Entire Body is, as taken from the official website:

An Entire Body is an unflinching portrait of the daily trials and painful choices confronting America’s working poor. It truthfully dramatizes the experience of the struggling single mother – a segment of the population rarely represented with dignity on-screen – and does so with compassion and without a hint of moralizing. A forceful emotional experience that builds to a shattering climax, An Entire Body seamlessly merges closely-observed realism with taut suspense, resulting in a story that is as important as it is moving.

Based on five days in the life of Angela Jacobs, a single mother in Las Vegas who becomes pressured to give up her eight year old daughter in an under the table adoption.

Lauren is set to play protagonist Angela Jacobs. The film will be shot in Las Vegas and is currently in pre-production.

A nice little treat today! The wonderful Sandra of Chloë Sevigny Online has kindly contributed some beautiful 100×100 icons to our once woeful looking Icons page.

The media section of the site will be getting a load of new additions and features in the near future. Do look out for that!

Where The Wild Things Are (finally) sees its theatrical release date today in the UK.

I myself managed to catch the fist showing at my local theatre. It exceeded even my lofty expectations. One of the most visually stunning and poignant pictures of recent years. – Thank you Spike Jonze!

My apologies for the lack of recent updates. Life has a pesky habit of getting in the way at times. (un)Fortunately we’ve not missed a lot since the last update, but some exciting news to report nonetheless.

Within the last week the 14th Annual Satellite Award nominations were announced. Lauren quite surprisingly was nominated for her role as Leah in Hallmark’s 2009 production, Loving Leah!
