PLOT:

via Hollywood Reporter:

The story is said to be similar to It’s a Wonderful Life, but set in the present day. It centers on Charlotte Hart (Sheridan), a woman out to save a quiet New England town from a ruthless real estate developer.

The character of Hart is meant to recur in a series of future franchise movies for Hallmark.


More details via Hallmark:

Charlotte Hart (Nicollette Sheridan), a distinguished journalist, is spending time with her family over the holidays when a real estate developer approaches their small town with quite an offer. Skeptical and looking for the real scoop, Charlotte drives to see the real estate head honcho to question him. While she’s en route, she gets into a terrible car accident and wakes up in the hospital only to realize that her body is in a coma, but her spirit is very much awake. She meets another spirit, who just happens to be the greedy developer. It turns out that he was on the other end of the accident, and he too is in a coma. With only a few days left before the town votes on the development, Charlotte must try to change the minds of the developer and the town, but that is no easy task when no one can see or hear her.

  1. I am trying to get how this is a remake of It's A Wonderful Life.

    Interesting that they would want to do a series of movies.

  5. The idea that the town would have left that intersection with the broken light without doing anything about it is preposterous.
