According to reports by The Hollywood Reporter, primetime actress, Amber Tamblyn, is in final negotiations for a lead role in a Horton Foote film called, “Main Street.” The film is set to start shooting next month and could also be starring a couple heavy hitters of Hollywood, Andrew McCarthy and Orlando Bloom, both in negotiations for lead roles.
