Hallmark Press Release:

CROWN MEDIA FAMILY NETWORKS
ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER
BOOK-TO-FILM ADAPTATION

Hallmark Publishing Original Novel, The Secret Ingredient, for New Original Movie to Air in February as Part of Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" Programming Event

New York, NY, January 14, 2020 - Crown Media Family Networks announced today its first-ever movie adaptation of a Hallmark Publishing original novel. The film, based on The Secret Ingredient by USA Today Bestselling author Nancy Naigle, is slated to air this February in conjunction with Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" programming event.

"When we launched Hallmark Publishing two and a half years ago, we envisioned a future when we would be able to leverage the division's original novels as blueprints for new movies," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Crown Media Family Networks. "The Secret Ingredient checked off all the boxes for a great Hallmark Channel movie - a compelling narrative, rich, multi-dimensional characters, heart-warming sentiment - and we are so proud to bring this wonderful story from page to screen as our very first book-to-film adaptation."


The Secret Ingredient tells the tale of a once-engaged couple that dreamed of opening their own restaurant. Though life took them in different directions, one special recipe turns out to be a reminder of how much their past is a part of them still. The novel can currently be found on iTunes, Hallmark.com, Amazon.com, and Kobo.com.

Hallmark Publishing, which originally launched in 2017 as a digital publisher, offers wholesome romances, intriguing mysteries and original titles by USA Today and New York Times bestselling authors in eBook, audiobook, and paperback form.

MORE DETAILS on "The Secret Ingredient" Movie:

Nancy Naigle,
author of the book The Secret Ingredient, also wrote other popular books turned into Hallmark movies, including Christmas in Evergreen, Christmas Joy, Hope at Christmas and Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa!

Starring in "The Secret Ingredient" are: Erin Cahill (Love, Fall and Order") and Brendan Penny ("Chesapeake Shores").

"The Secret Ingredient" storyline: Small-town baker, Kelly, gets a big surprise when she is invited to compete on a Valentine's Day baking show in New York City - and an even bigger surprise when she runs into her ex-fiance.

I was so happy to learn (during the Christmas season!) that Erin Cahill would be starring in this upcoming "Love Ever After" movie for Hallmark! She has quickly become one of my Hallmark favorites since her sweet Christmas movies and "Love, Fall and Order!" Plus... I absolutely loved her in the INSP film, "Christmas on the Range!" She's truly fantastic in that movie! (By the way... You can watch it digitally through Amazon Prime Video or get a copy on DVD!)

Erin's co-star, Brendan Penny, (also one of my favorites!) is no stranger when it comes to working in the kitchen in Hallmark movies. His character worked in a restaurant in both "A Dash of Love" and "Pride, Prejudice & Mistletoe!" Will he be the secret ingredient in this movie? I have a feeling Hallmark has cooked up another sweet romantic comedy!

Be sure to look for "The Secret Ingredient" during Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" month - premiering Saturday, February 15th at 9pm/8c!

Blessings to you all, Net

-- HALLMARK CHANNEL--


My Take...

The latest Christmas movie of "When Calls the Heart," which aired on the Hallmark Channel Christmas day, only made me anticipate and long even more for season 7. Is Elizabeth ready to open up her heart once again? Will Faith and Carter stay together? Will Clara and Jesse get married? What adventures lie ahead for Lee, Rosemary, Bill, Nathan, Lucas, Fiona, and all the others? Will baby Jack take new steps? I'm certainly looking forward to returning to Hope Valley this February to find out, and I hope you are, too!

If you missed the "When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas" movie when it originally aired, or if you'd like to watch again, you can stream it through Amazon's Prime Video - *HERE*! It's perfect viewing to watch with the whole family!

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


images: Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

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
