Life After Girlfriends - Jill Marie Jones in REDRUM

While CW's Girlfriends lives on to see an 8th season next year, one of its former stars is quietly racking up on her new venture. Jill Maries Jones, who played Toni Childs and left the show in 2005, hasn't been seen publicly elsewhere but on red carpet appearances, has been working to make a name for herself in the film world. She's got 3 films in the works that should get the attention of many producers looking to cast a good actress. Plus, we need more sistas on the big screen!

First up is "Universal Remote", which will open up the 8th Annual Hollywood Black Film Festival in LA on June 5th. Jones has a supporting role in that film, but she gets a leading status in her next film, the romantic comedy REDRUM. Directed by Carl Seaton, Jones and Kenny Young are the main players in the film. Also feature are Jenifer Lewis, Chris Spencer, Danny Woodburn, Terri Vaughn, Rodney Perry, Joe Torry, and Reginald Ballard.

As the story goes, Brian and Tanya Diggs have always been a timid, law abiding, and somewhat nerdy couple. They've yearned their entire lives to just cut loose and have fun, but they don't know how. They've tried everything, even therapy, and nothing seems to work. They seemed destined to live the rest of their lives in boredom and monotony.

However, late one night Brian finds himself in a challenging confrontation that causes him to finally snap, resulting in him killing someone. Brian confides in Tanya about his murderous deed. Not only has he committed murder, but surprisingly, Brian realized that he truly enjoyed it. His next attempt at murder goes awry, causing Tanya to get involved. She, too, realizes that she enjoys murder. Brian and Tanya have finally found something that gives them the thrill they've been seeking their entire lives... murder!

As the couple embarks on a hilarious killing spree, inflicting death on only those they feel worthy, new life is breathed into their marriage as well as their individual lives. For the first time, their lives are exciting, vibrant, and even sexy. Things have never been better. That is, until Brian has a "burning bush" epiphany.

Brian shares his epiphany with Tanya. It's time to stop the murders. Tanya, who by now has developed a serious blood lust, reluctantly agrees to stop. As Brian begins his new life as a "holy roller," Tanya secretly makes headlines as a serial killer.

Brian and Tanya find themselves drifting vastly apart. Their love for one another is finally put to the ultimate test when their worlds collide in an unforgettable showdown.

After REDRUM, Jones will star along with Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Gabrielle Union, Rachel True, Faizon Love, Charlie Murphy, Katt Williams, and Morris Chestnut in "Perfect Christmas". Welcome to the Big Leagues!
