Amber Tamblyn is in closing discussions to play the lead character in Horton Foote’s ensemble drama Main Street.

Orlando Bloom is also in discussions to star in the cast, which includes some awesome very strong actors: Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson and Colin Firth.

Brit John Doyle is directing the drama that, according to Variety, was scripted by Foote after visiting Durham, N.C., two years ago. Foote passed away on March 4.

The story is about a diverse group of residents of a small, economically declining American city facing the detriment of change.
