Hallmark Movie Updates! White Hot, A Time to Dance, Mommy Bloggers, and More!!!

There's been lots of Hallmark movie news floating around, lately... so I thought I would share some of the latest updates...

Karen Kingsbury's Book
A Time to Dance

Karen Kingsbury’s A Time To Dance:

News has finally been released on the Karen Kingsbury book, A Time to Dance, becoming a Hallmark movie. We first learned that possibility of this happening in September of 2014! I shared the press release, here.

According to Deadline.com, "pre-production is underway for the movie adaptation of Karen Kingsbury’s A Time To Dance, the first novel in her Timeless Love series, scheduled to premiere this year (2016!)."

I'm not certain which Hallmark station, as of yet, they will air this on.

Karen Kingsbury’s book A Time To Dance is available through Paperback, Hardcover, Audible Audio Edition, and Kindle.



White Hot:

The Movie White Hot (based on the book by Sandra Brown) will star:

John Schneider (Come Dance at my Wedding) as Huff Hoyle,

Shenae Grimes-Beech (Christmas Incorporated) as Sayre Hoyle,

Sean Faris (Christmas with Holly) as Beck Merchant -
and Jeremy Guilbaut as Chris Hoyle

on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries - premiering April 17, 2016!

Storyline via whatsfilming.ca: "After spending 10 years away from Destiny, the main character, Sayre, returns to look into the suspicious death of a family member. Sayre must overcome many obstacles along the way including a history of tension between her and her corrupt father that is reignited and her feelings for the lawyer who is investigating the crime."

Please Note: From what some of you have shared with me, I know you are surprised to see this story come to Hallmark. I have not read this book - so I cannot comment on it, but it is my hope Hallmark will keep to it's usual moral standard. If I hear anything different, I will be sure to let you know!


Mommy Bloggers:

Some details on the upcoming Hallmark movie Mommy Bloggers have also been released via whatsfilming.ca: "The film features Vancouver’s own Michael Shanks (Saving Hope, Stargate SG-1) and Carrie Genzel (Watchmen, Jennifer’s Body). Real life mother/daughter combination of Lisa Whelchel (The Facts of Life, For Better or For Worse) and Clancy Cauble will be portraying a mother/daughter relationship in the movie as well."
