Todd Harris and writers Ross Schwartz and Lannette Pabon. Other features includes the making of, deleted scenes, and a featurette called “Chateau Montelena: One Winery’s Search for Excellence”.

The Aussie actress has scored one of three leading roles in Washingtonienne, which follows the professional and personal lives of the smart, sophisticated 20-somethings on Capitol Hill.

Taylor will play the central figure of Jackie, a New Yorker who has decided to pursue a career as a speech writer but first must work her way up from the intern desk.

Like SATC, the series is based on the semi-autobiographical story by American author Jessica Cutler,about the sexploits of young staffers and the powerbrokers of the US Government.

She said, it’s “not quite what I want to do” and it would defeat the purpose of becoming a better actor “if I was just going to become a ‘Transformers’ girl.”

She said, she needs to do roles that aren’t quite as easy for her as “Transformers” was (in which she retained her native accent). ” ‘Transformers’ was important and defining for me because it taught me about what kinds of movies I want to make and the kind of actor I want to be, and I have a long way to go before I become that actor,”

“It’s in independent film where I’m closer to becoming that actor,” she said. “So I’m going to stick to that world for a while. I have to earn my stripes. I don’t believe in winning the sprint. I would prefer to win the marathon. So I dodged a bullet there. Or a robot.”

Hopefully more movies for RachaelTaylor though as she did a very good performance in the first Transformers movie.
