Starring Katie Findlay, Wyatt Nash, Ted McGinley and Faith Ford

 

Based On The Book By #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Karen Kingsbury, Production Underway on Part Two, Set to Debut Holiday 2016.

 

STUDIO CITY, CA - October 1, 2015 -- Hallmark Channel debuts the most anticipated novel adaptation of the season, Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge, based on New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury's beloved novel. The first installment of the contemporary romance debuts this December as part of Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas, with part two commencing production this week in Vancouver for an anticipated holiday 2016 debut. The Hallmark Channel original world premiere stars Katie Findlay ("How to Get Away with Murder"), Wyatt Nash ("Petals on the Wind"), Ted McGinley ("Hope and Faith") and Faith Ford ("Murphy Brown"). Karen


Kingsbury's The Bridge is the sweeping tale of Molly Callens (Findlay) and Ryan Kelly (Nash), two young students who share a profound friendship their first semester in college, a time that becomes the defining moment of their lives. At their favorite bookstore and coffee shop, The Bridge, they spend countless hours studying and inspiring the other to dream their 10-year goal. They bond with the owners of The Bridge, Charlie (McGinley) and Donna Barton (Ford), a couple who designed the bookstore as a place where people can connect and be part of an extended family. Can Molly and Ryan's unspoken love and future dreams survive the expectations of others as to what their lives should ultimately be?


"Karen Kingsbury's story of second chances has touched millions of people, illustrating the power of love, forgiveness and grace," said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. "The characters of 'The Bridge' are confronted with the same hard choices many people face daily, and they overcome the obstacles with empathy and love, an inspiring message this holiday season."


Karen Kingsbury is a #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, earning her the distinction of America's favorite inspirational novelist. With nearly 25 million copies of her award-winning books in print, Kingsbury's stories have resonated with readers worldwide. Her last dozen titles have hit #1 on national lists, including her recent Redemption series featuring Kingsbury's most unforgettable characters. Her novel The Bridge released in 2012 and debuted on the New York Times Bestsellers list. It has sold over 300,000 copies since the time of its release and is published by Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. Kingsbury is also a public speaker, reaching more than 100,000 women annually through various national events. Kingsbury lives in Nashville with her husband, Don, and has five sons, three of whom were adopted from Haiti, and an only daughter, Kelsey, an actress. She is represented by Rick Christian, President of Alive Literary Agency in Colorado Springs.


The screenplay for Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge is written by Jamie Pachino ("Franklin & Bash") and directed by Mike Rohl ("When Calls the Heart," "Smallville"). Emmy(R)-winning Executive Producers, reuniting their partnership after the success of "Door To Door" and "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story," Everywhere Studios' Dan Angel ("Christmas In Canaan," "Goosebumps," "The Haunting Hour") and David Rosemont (2013's "Bonnie and Clyde," "The Gabby Douglas Story") have partnered with Kim Arnott, President of Vancouver-based Two 4 the Money Media and Fernando Szew, CEO of MarVista Entertainment, for the two-part movie.

Hallmark launches CROWN MEDIA PRODUCTIONS to create Hallmark Movies!

Currently, the movies we see on the Hallmark Channel are produced by a variety of different Production Companies, including: Mar Vista Productions, Side Street Post, Believe Pictures, Chesler-Perlmutter Productions, Hybrid Production Media Group, Muse Entertainment Enterprises, Front Street Pictures, Johnson Production Group... and many more! (to name a few!)

Now, the Hallmark Channel has embarked on the creation of their own production company, "Crown Media Productions". With this newly founded production company, they will begin the process of creating their own original movies, for their own network!

Here are the details...     

Via Hallmark Press Release:

CROWN MEDIA FAMILY NETWORKS HANGS IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION SHINGLE TO INCREASE PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL CONTENT

Benefits Include Increasing Original Content Output, Ownership of Worldwide Rights, and Increasing Crown Media Family Networks’ Extensive Film Library

Crown Media Family Networks, home of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, announces the launch of Crown Media Productions, an in-house production company aimed at increasing the company’s original content across multiple platforms. Michelle Vicary will have oversight of Crown Media Productions where it is expected that creative relationships fostered over 15 years will make the startup immediately successful. Benefits of the in-house production unit include an increase in original content output, ownership of all rights, more direct involvement with the creative process, and providing another avenue for increasing Crown Media Family Networks’ extensive film library.

Crown Media Productions will produce up to 6 TV films in 2015, all of which will be released under the banner of a Hallmark Channel Original or Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original. The new production shingle will target doubling of this year’s output in 2016 and beyond. The first original films to come from Crown Media Productions will begin airing later this year.

''Launching Crown Media Productions represents the next stage of the company’s evolution,'' said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

“A production arm creates the infrastructure that makes it possible for us to keep up with an ever-growing demand for more and more Original Hallmark-branded programming across a variety of platforms, and it benefits Crown Media with more direct input into the creative process and financing, rights retention, and growing one of the best family film libraries in entertainment,” Vicary concluded.

Crown Media Family Networks brand has a long and storied history as a distribution banner and will now enjoy the benefits of an internal production arm. The company will provide financing for the new entity and retain all distribution rights worldwide. Crown Media Productions will have in-house creative production executives and strategic publicity and marketing capabilities while relying on the company’s overall infrastructure to power the new division. The new entity will be presented to Hollywood creative agencies within the coming weeks.

----- End of Press Release -----

 

 

My Thoughts:

First of all, Congratulations to the Hallmark Channel on the launching of this new production company. It is my sincerest hope that "Crown Media Productions" will create the type of family movies we have come to know and enjoy on the Hallmark Channel through the years. I know many Hallmark viewers, myself included, will look forward to seeing their first production, later this year.

A Scoop on Hallmark. Christmas. 2015.

Santa may be on vacation now, but the Hallmark team, coming off their Christmas 2014 seasonal victory of great ratings, are working hard to deliver a new season of Christmas Movies to our TVs for 2015!

It's no secret, that there are a lot of new mystery series coming this year to Hallmark - specifically on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries... but, this post isn't about that... no, it's about my scoop on the upcoming Christmas Movies coming THIS YEAR - this upcoming 2015 Christmas Season! And, this scoop, is Delicious!

Here's a little information I have scooped, thus far...

In an interview with Parade Magazine's online site - Parade.com... Michelle Vicary, executive vice president of programming and network publicity for Crown Media Family Networks, home of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, talks about the success of the 2014 Hallmark Christmas and shares an inside look at the upcoming 2015 season.

Here's "the scoop"...

In the article Michelle Vicary shares, "We’ve got 14 [original movies] on the development plate so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that number inches up closer to 20 across the two networks."

Wow!!! I think that is exciting news! That means there could potentially be nearly 20 new Christmas Movies for the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this upcoming Christmas Season! For the 2014 Christmas Season, there were 14 movies on both networks, 12 from the Hallmark Channel, and two from Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Six more Christmas movies would be truly incredible!

For now, we only have two confirmed titles for Christmas, 2015- North Pole 2 and Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge.... so, we have lots more Christmas Movies to look forward to discovering!

I certainly hope the quality can match the quantity.

If you happen to hear, of one of these Christmas movies, please e-mail me or leave a comment on my site, and I will share the news with everyone!!!

Lots to *LOVE* this Valentine's Day Weekend on TV!

"How Do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways..."
 

On this Valentine's Day, you can stay warm inside and watch Hallmark Movies all day & night, plus there will be 2 ALL NEW Hallmark Movies premiering this weekend, as well as... a brand new Disney Channel original movie/comedy, and don't forget dear ole' Charlie Brown has 2 Valentine Specials on ABC, too!

"Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails..."

Barry Watson and Marla Sokoloff star in "The Chateau Meroux"

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: The Chateau Meroux

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original TV Air Date: March 21, 2015

Rated: PG-13

*This movie first came out in 2011, and was released on DVD in 2012.

*Reviews appear to be mixed on this movie at Amazon. I was surprised to see many reviewers say the movie has many "awkward sexual jokes and innuendos". While I like both Marla Sokoloff and Barry Watson, as actors, I wanted to be sure to share this - because this doesn't sound like the "G" rated movies we are used to, on the Hallmark Channel.

DVD Cover

CAST:

Marla Sokoloff
Barry Watson
Amanda Righetti
Christopher Lloyd
Taylor Negron
Daniel Bastreghi
Jeffrey Weissman

PLOT:

Big city girl Wendy moves to Napa Valley after inheriting her father's struggling winery and soon falls in love with both the business and local boy Chris. But things get complicated when she learns that Chris is the son of her chief competitor.


Movie Review:

As I stated above:
Reviews appear to be mixed on this movie at Amazon. I was surprised to see many reviewers say the movie has many "awkward sexual jokes and innuendos". While I like both Marla Sokoloff and Barry Watson, as actors, I wanted to be sure to share this - because this doesn't sound like the "G" rated movies we are used to, on the Hallmark Channel.
