News has been reported via Deadline Hollywood, that Brad Krevoy Television (a division of Motion Picture Corporation of America and one of the Producers of "When Calls the Heart"), along with Michael and Janeen Damian (who are well known from the enchanting royal movie, "A Princess for Christmas" and the "High Strung" dance movies) will be developing this year, in 2020, THREE NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
The titles for these films have been revealed: Much Ado About Christmas, Christmas in Transylvania and The Christmas Waltz! Since these movies are still in their early stages, please know it is possible any of these titles could change.
At this point, what can we glean from these titles alone? Well... each one already has a unique, interesting sound to it.
Much Ado About Christmas sounds, perhaps, Shakespearean. Could it possibly be an adaptation or new holiday take on Much Ado About Nothing?
Christmas in Transylvania sounds like a movie filled with mystery and adventure, possibly a new royal holiday romance filmed in Transylvania, Romania - just hopefully not in Dracula's castle!
Last, but not least, The Christmas Waltz sounds like a captivating film centered around the love of dance. And since the Damians are well known from their recent dance movies, this one sounds like an ideal theme coming from them.

According to the article, Michael and Janeen Damian and Brad Krevoy previously collaborated on four Hallmark movies: A Princess for Christmas, A Royal Christmas, Crown For Christmas, and The Sweeter Side of Life.
I know many of us enjoyed those films and will look forward to seeing more news on these three new Christmas movies as they begin production on them this year!
If you're familiar at all with Michael Damian's music from the 80's, then you'll totally get my reference here when my response to these projects is... "Rock On!"
Hope you enjoyed this Christmas movie news!
Blessings on your day! Net
wow! what a fantastic partnership.

That is wonderful news! A Princess For Christmas, A Royal Christmas and a Crown for Christmas are 3 of my family's all-time favorite movies. So excited to see what they come up with!!
ReplyDeleteWell, Net, we're off and running. They are getting a really early start on this year's Christmas movies. All of these movies sound interesting, especially Christmas in Transylvania and The Christmas Waltz. But a Shakespearean Twist on Christmas sounds really interesting, too. I am looking forward to all of these. Great news. Thank you again for keeping up with all of these stories. You rock! Peace,

Great question, Lisa! I don't believe they officially stated where these are going to air, yet. They may be still working on those details and working out an agreement there. Let's hope these are all family-friendly and end up on Hallmark! :)

Thank you for sharing this article! This is wonderful news to hear that Paul Greene and Rachel Boston will be reprising their roles in "Angel Falls 3" and another Jane Austen themed Christmas movie is always something to look forward to!
DeleteAusten's "Mansfield Park" is intriguing and mysterious, so I hope there is a bit of mystery to "Christmas at Mansfield," too! Perhaps, like "Angel Falls 3," it will also play on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!
