THREE CHRISTMAS MOVIES in the works for "When Calls the Heart" Producer and "A Princess for Christmas" Creators!

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

Hallmark Channel Reigns with Royal Themed Movies! Which one would you crown King of all?

Hallmark "Crown" Media has held the crowning achievement of developing numerous "Royal" themed movies throughout the years! The network reigns as the number one place on TV to look for a sweet love story and royal romances!

See the list of Royal movies below; then please share in comments below which film you would crown "King" of all.

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Hallmark Channel's "Royal" Themed TV Movies:

Smooch

*First premiered on the Hallmark Channel - February 1, 2011.

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Storyline: In "Smooch," Kiernan Shipka plays "Zoe," a young girl obsessed by fairytales and happy endings who is searching for the perfect man for her widowed mother Gwen (Kellie Martin). It is Zoe's belief in a frog's potential charm that compels her to abduct one from her middle school science class, carrying him to the San Francisco Bay in a water-filled lunchbox where she intends to set him free. Having skipped class, Zoe is surprised to see another schoolmate at the Wharf, and in her anxiety, accidentally drops her green friend overboard. As she surveys the scene, a male monarch (Simon Kassianides) in full royal regalia emerges from a dinghy in which he fell after a wild night of partying. The dazed prince looks more like Humpty Dumpty, sporting a giant goose egg on his head, courtesy of his fall from the pier. Though the prince has little memory of who he is or how he got into such a predicament, he is in luck. Zoe knows precisely how this fairytale ends.

William & Kate: A Royal Love Story

*First premiered on the Hallmark Channel - August 27, 2011

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Storyline: William & Catherine: A Royal Romance chronicles the love story of Prince William (Dan Amboyer) and Kate Middleton (Alice St. Clair) that resulted in one of the most celebrated weddings in history. At a pivotal point in their courtship, William takes to heart the advice of his mother, the late Princess Diana (Lesley Harcourt), which she bestowed in an interview before her untimely death. The message she left for her son: hold on to the love of your life and protect it with all of your heart.

A Princess for Christmas

*First premiered on the Hallmark Channel - December 3, 2011.

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Storyline: In "A Princess for Christmas," McGrath plays Jules Daly, a frenetic twenty-something who becomes guardian to her young niece Maddie (De Meza) and nephew Milo (Turner) when her sister and brother-in-law are tragically killed in an accident. While balancing the daily hysteria of becoming an overnight parent, Jules was recently laid off at work, her car is on the fritz, and the kids' shenanigans have caused a dozen nannies to flee like vampires before garlic. When an ominous knock on the door comes late one evening, Jules wonders, what now? At the door is Paisley Winterbottom (Miles Richardson, "Midsomer Murders"), a proper English butler, with a most curious invitation: a Christmas holiday with grandfather, Edward (Moore), the Duke of Castlebury Hall, who was absent from the kids' lives, but wants to reconnect out of love for his late son. Jules initially wants to decline the trip, though she and the kids eventually travel to Castlebury to meet the Duke. On more than one occasion, Jules feels woefully common trying to blend in with her late brother-in-law's ostentatious family. Eventually, however, even with missteps and mistakes, a mystical influence begins to fall over the family, like the comfort of a dusting of snow over the quiet countryside. This Christmas, the family won't lament what has been lost, but will celebrate all that has been found!

But as their first Christmas together approaches, Leo drops a bombshell on his unsuspecting girlfriend: he is actually Prince Leopold, heir to the throne of Cordinia, a small sovereign country. Emily is in shock, but her love for Leo trumps her hesitation about his double life and they quickly fly to Cordinia to announce their engagement and spend the holidays with Leo’s disapproving mother, Queen Isadora (Jane Seymour).

From the beginning, I know I personally fell in love with Hallmark’s “Royal” Christmas movies, beginning with “A Princess for Christmas.” Each additional "Royal" movie that has come along the way since then, whether it was holiday or non-holiday themed, has been enchanting and charming in it's own way.

Now, which “Royal” movie would you crown King of all? Please share in comments below!

Thoughts on Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie Weekend

I was so glad to hear from so many of you who enjoyed the Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie Weekend as much I, and my family, did. As we were in and out over the weekend, we tried our best to absorb as much of the Christmas Movies as possible - and since some were repeated on both days - I think we just about caught a little bit of each movie - plus, we actually sat down and watched several, too!

Oh, I just never wanted them to end! Someone else had mentioned and I completely agreed - it would have been nice if they could have scheduled in A Grandpa for Christmas, in honor of Ernest Borgnine, due to his recent passing. That would have been perfect at 10 PM Sunday night, instead of Frasier, and then it would have finished the Christmas Movies off at midnight!

Like I said, I just didn't want it to end... however, I am grateful for what they did show.

All in all... I must say THANK YOU to the Hallmark Channel! We enjoyed the Christmas Movie Weekend emmensely - from Mrs. Miracle, Call Me Mrs. Miracle, The Town Christmas Forgot, Annie Claus is Coming to Town, Mistletoe Over Manhattan, Holiday Engagement, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and all the way to A Princess for Christmas and more! And, Now we are looking forward to the new Christmas Movie Season starting, more than ever!
