Wishing you all much LOVE and Happiness!

KAVAN SMITH!! AUTUMN REESER!!!! Two of my FAVORITE leads! And to top it off, I think they will do very nicely together!! Yippee! This is such exciting news!! Also excited for Sam Page again......I've missed him, especially this past Christmas! Love him! It will be nice to see the anticipated Wedding in the Vineyard.....long time coming!
ReplyDeleteBut I really can't wait for Love on The Menu with Kavsn and Autumn! :)
I LOVE your Enthusiastic Excitement! I agree, there are lots of Wonderful Movies, Actors, & Actresses coming up in February! I, too, am so happy to see the three you mentioned, plus Maggie Lawson and Lacey Chabert! It's going to be another great month/season of Hallmark movies!!! Thank YOU for sharing in the Joy!!! :)
DeleteThey changed the title from Falling Star to Love on the Menu
ReplyDeleteYes, they changed the title. "Love on the Menu" does seem like an ideal fit for the film, just by looking at the picture, and reading the brief synopsis.
DeleteI hope Hallmark will air Love Under the Rainbow is a St. Patrick's Day movie could air in March 2019; part of Spring Fever
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a possibility! We shall see! :)
DeleteThis is the first time I’m hearing about this. I researched more about it and it seemed that they filmed it last year. Hopefully it will air!
DeleteYes, "Love Under the Rainbow" is a movie that filmed last year; however, IMDB is listing it as 2019, so I'm anticipating for it to air this year. There has been quite a bit of buzz around social media about it being a Hallmark movie. The film stars Jodie Sweetin ("Entertaining Christmas"), David Haydn-Jones ("Bramble House Christmas"), Brendon Zub ("A Winter Princess"), and Peter Benson ("Aurora Teagarden").
DeleteHopefully, we will see it - eventually!!! :)
I would actually not be shocked at all if Hallmark decided to air "Love Under the Rainbow" in March, somewhere in the vicinity of St. Patrick's Day. What's funny is that, before LUTR began filming in March of last year, writer Kirsten Hansen referred to it as a "Spring movie." So, at the time, of course, it was assumed that it would air in Spring 2018. It never dawned on me that it would be banked and saved for Spring 2019, one year later! lol But that might very well be what happens -- it could be part of Spring Fever 2019.
DeleteAnother option is that Hallmark could be planning to put it on the Hallmark Movies Now streaming service as exclusive content, as they begin to build up the exclusive offerings on HMN more over time (especially leading up to the "When Calls the Heart" spin-off).
Wherever it ends up, we should find out soon! LUTR probably isn't going to be a June Weddings movie, and it's not a Christmas movie. It isn't a Summer Nights or Fall Harvest movie. So, if it is, indeed, a "Spring movie" that will premiere on the Hallmark Channel, then we've only got between now and May for it to pop up!
The part of Love Under the Rainbow has a pot of gold, rainbow bridge, & chasing rainbows. Sophie created rainbows for science project. Love Under the Rainbow is part of St. Patrick’s Day.
DeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing Love, Chocolate and Romance. Can't wait to see Lacey and Will together, even better that Brittany Bristow is also in the movie. I also can't wait for the Autumn Reeser/Kavan Smith movie too.
ReplyDeleteHello Jill! I agree, there are lots of great match-ups here! Plus, I really like Brittany Bristow, too! She seems like such a genuine sweetheart on & off screen! Plus, how fun to see her star with Lacey once again. I recall Brittany saying she and Lacey flew to the film location for "Love on Safari" together, and they really bonded on the flight and while filming. Would love to see Brittany star, one day, in her own Hallmark movie!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing what you are looking forward to seeing! :)
Hallmark's "match-up's" are half the fun! Can't wait to see who will be paired with who! How about Autumn and Kavan?? I loved her with Antonio and David from Bramble House and now Kavan?? Great Choice!!
