The older I get, the more I like fairy tale type movies.........looks sweet!!
ReplyDeleteI think the fairy tale type movies are some of my favorites as well.
ReplyDeleteTiny bits of info. Here's a link to the screenplay, on the screenwriter's website (https://sites.google.com/site/buddybaroncomedyscreenwriter/alien-yard-sale/home/the-magic-stocking) Looks like it's original, not an adaptation from a book.
ReplyDeleteAnd Vancouver actors Pearce Visser (who had a small part in Tomorrowland) and Daniel Martin (mostly one-offs in a lot of TV shows; see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3697834/) are listed as being cast. Neither are the leads, though.
According to the director's wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Winning), the leads are Bridget Regan (Agent Carter) and Luke Macfarlane (The Memory Book).
ReplyDeleteThank you, "Anonymous", for sharing all the cast details, links, and more for The Magic Stocking. I added in the cast details above! Appreciate it so much!

It looks like Victor Webster might have replaced Luke Macfarlane in the cast.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks like they updated the names... must have been a last minute change!
DeleteVictor Webster is an handsome man (and, might I add, so are many of the men who are appearing in this year's Hallmark Christmas movies!!). I was trying to remember where I had seen him, and a quick glance at IMDB reminded me that it was "Puppy Love" (the Candace Cameron Bure Hallmark movie). I forgot that he was in that movie.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this isn't Victor's first Christmas movie. I'm sure we all remember the heartwarming Yuletide gem, "Christmas Icetastrophe" (must have been a Syfy movie?). ;-)
As many Christmas Movies as I've seen... I guess I must have missed "Christmas Icetastrophe"!
DeleteBut, you absolutely nailed it, Sherry! I think most will know Victor Webster from "Days" or "Puppy Love"!!!
Lol. I can honestly say that I had never even heard of "Christmas Icetastrophe" until I looked up Victor's IMDB page, trying to recall where I had seen him. When I saw the title I thought, "Well, that sounds like a movie that was made for the Syfy network," but I don't know if that's where it actually aired. Since Syfy has become such a hit with its own special brand of movies, I noticed that another channel or two (and I can't recall which channels) churned out some very similar movies in the last year or two, probably trying to offer up some competition.
DeleteSo maybe "Christmas Icetastrophe" aired somewhere other than Syfy?
Along the "Christmas disaster movie" lines, I wonder how long we will have to wait for a Christmas-themed "Sharknado" movie. Based on the popularity of Christmas movies and the popularity of "Sharknado," I would be shocked if someone, somewhere, wasn't hatching a plot to combine the two themes into one movie! Lol.
In any case, I'd much rather watch "The Magic Stocking" and "Puppy Love"!!! Lol.
Nope, it was Syfy. My husband and son insisted on watching it -- and it was truly awful -- in "retaliation" for all the silly Hallmark Christmas movies I made them watch. Icetastrophe was pretty close to being so-bad it's good.
DeleteYou summed it up beautifully with; ' being so bad it's good.'
DeleteI have to admit when I'm just having a really stinky day I will watch this movie on Netflix because it's just such bad / good entertainment.
Will this movie air on The Hallmark Channel also?
ReplyDeleteWhat breed of dog is is the movie the Christmas stocking?
ReplyDeleteWe are asking the same question
ReplyDeleteCan you buy the magic stocking dvd anywhere?
ReplyDeleteLocation info wanted. In imdb Utah locations are listed, but it looks to me like parts were filmed in the Vancouver BC area. Does anyone know where more detailed info is available? I'm a continuity and location enthusiast. My mind can't rest till I know, lol. ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, Brandon, did you ever find out the info you were seeking? Inquiring minds want to know!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI've been searching trying to find out the breed of the brown/black puppy! I'M m thinking it's a rough coat Brussel Griffon...any confirmation on that assumption?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have the right face for a Brussels griffin. Kind of looks like it could be a russel terrier
DeleteKeep this going please, great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dog is in the movie. Brown and white dog named magic?
ReplyDeleteRewatched this on DVD, nice movie! -Maria
