New Hallmark Movie Filming for Fall 2021 Premiere - with Tom Everett Scott, Mía Maestro, and Ella Ballentine! See Here:

ET online is reporting: "Tom Everett Scott and Mía Maestro will star in Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone, adapted from the 2017 novel by best-selling author Phaedra Patrick, for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Ella Ballentine also co-stars."

According to the article, the story follows "Benedict Stone (Scott) and his wife, Elena (Maestro), who have separated after 10 years of unsuccessfully trying for a baby. Benedict wants Elena back, but Elena needs space. So when Benedict’s teenage niece, Gemma (Ballentine), mysteriously arrives on his doorstep, his life is turned upside down, except she might be the change that he desperately needs to improve himself and to get a second chance at life with Elena."

Hallmark viewers may recall Tom Everett Scott starred in a previous Hallmark movie in 2017, "Christmas Connection." Ella Ballentine has also starred on the Hallmark Channel in a Christmas movie, "Baby's First Christmas." (Side Note #1: Ella was actually one of my first interviews for this Christmas movie - back in 2012!)

In addition to these familiar Hallmark actors, Peter Benson ("Aurora Teagarden Mysteries") will be directing this film. At this point, we can anticipate this movie to premiere in the Fall. I think it's great Peter is directing, but I love him in front of the camera, too. It was nice to see him recently in the lead role in "Seasoned with Love" with his real-life wife, Julia Benson. (Side Note #2: For those interested, an encore airing of "Seasoned with Love" is currently scheduled to air Wednesday, July 21st, at 1pm/12c on BYUtv.)

As for Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone, I am not familiar with the novel this film is based upon; however, I think the story sounds like a potentially interesting scenario for a Hallmark movie. Please share your thoughts in comments below.

When I was a little girl, I always loved when my Momma would take us to town - to the sidewalk sales in the summer. Sure it was hot, but I loved to see all the stores bring out their clothes and other items outside to sell. Nowadays, everyone seems to shop online - so these online savings are a sort of modern day version of the sidewalk sale.

I hope you all have a nice, relaxing weekend. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Fathers that visit here. I will be spending the day with my precious, hardworking Daddy (love him so much!) and my entire family - honoring all the Fathers. We eat delicious food, prepared by the ladies, and typically, we play games and enjoy good conversation. We are expecting very hot weather and possible rainstorms throughout day, so we'll probably be indoors. Hope your weather is pleasant.

Even though my father enjoys a good Hallmark movie, I'll be recording the new movies to watch sometime later. Hope you all can catch something good over the weekend. I always look forward to seeing TCM's classic movies that honor fathers, especially the Andy Hardy movies! For those of you who have Fathers who enjoy old westerns, you'll want to be sure to tune in to the Wild West Chronicles on INSP. And, how cute is the PA-ther's Day Little House on the Prairie Marathon on UPtv, and I just love a marathon of The Waltons on Hallmark Drama - so many good family-friendly options!

Blessings to you all, Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation."
