🎄 "Paris Christmas Waltz" is Coming to Great American Family! 🌟 See WHO will Star...

Early this morning, while practicing her dance steps for her upcoming Christmas movie for Great American Family, which requires learning the Viennese waltz, actress Jen Lilley, who is a busy mother to four young children with her husband, Jason, shared some exciting Christmas movie news while responding to followers comments.

Between dance breaks, Jen revealed that she would be traveling to Paris to film her new Christmas movie with producers/director Janeen and Michael Damian next month. Even though Jen has never learned this particular waltz or Cha-cha, which are both required for the film, she said she told the Damians that she is a very hard worker and dedicated to learning, even if it means she has to get up very early in the morning to do so.

Last month, an official announcement was made revealing filmmakers Janeen and Michael Damian inked 3 movie deals with Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America. One of those films is Paris Christmas Waltz, which is being described as a follow-up to Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp's popular Christmas movie, The Christmas Waltz. Since both Lacey and Will have contracts with Hallmark, it's apparent they won't be seen in this follow-up film, which will be airing on Great American Family this upcoming Christmas season. No word, yet, on who Jen Lilley's dancing partner will be!

Here is the video of Jen Lilley practicing and sharing this wonderful news on Instagram with her followers...

My Quick Take:

I am thrilled to share this Christmas movie news with you all today!

From the moment I first watched the movie, A Princess for Christmas in 2011 and learned that Michael and Janeen Damian were the ones behind the creation of this spectacular, heartwarming Christmas film, I knew they were something extra special! Since then, many of the movies they have made over the years have been mine and overall fan-favorites, including Christmas Waltz, A Royal Christmas, A Hot Cocoa Christmas, etc...

And I have a feeling Jen Lilley is going to waltz her way into our hearts this Christmas on Great American Family!

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

PLOT:

A Royal Christmas centers on a young girl who, after accepting her boyfriend’s proposal, learns he is a prince. She must then gain the acceptance of his mother, who looks down on her humble origins.

via Hallmark -- As the only daughter of an expert tailor in Philadelphia, Emily Corrigan (Chabert) is a kindhearted young woman proud of her blue-collar background. She is a devoted seamstress at the family business and madly in love with her doting European boyfriend, Leo (Stephen Hagan). 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 (Seymour).

Less than enthusiastic about her son’s relationship with a commoner, Isadora makes Emily feel anything but welcome at their grand castle, leaving Emily to feel more at home among Isadora’s staff of butlers and housemaids. As Emily struggles to adapt to her new royal surroundings, the situation is made more difficult when a scheming Isadora invites Duchess Natasha (Flynn), Leo’s ex-girlfriend, to join them for Christmas. Emily sees that Natasha is a perfect match for Leo and worries she’ll never measure up to Isadora’s standards. Attempting to stay true to herself in a world where she clearly doesn’t belong, Emily wonders if love is enough to keep her newly royal relationship from falling apart before Christmas morning.

“A Royal Christmas” is a Brad Krevoy Television Production. Brad Krevoy, Alexandre Coscas and Eric Jarboe are the executive producers. Amy Krell is the producer. Alex Zamm directed from a script by Janeen & Michael Damian and Tippi & Neal Dobrofsky.
