JANE AUSTEN ON HALLMARK
PAGING MR. DARCY WITH WILL KEMP
Paging Mr. Darcy starts February 3rd |
AN AMERICAN IN AUSTEN
Yes,
I spelled it right. This love drama will start on Hallmark, Saturday
evening February 17th starring Eliza Bennett and Nicholas Bishop in the
lead roles, while the other members of the cast are for some reason
still kept under wraps, but that is more or less usual for Hallmark. In
this new love movie comedy AN AMERICAN IN AUSTEN Eliza Bennett finds
herself in the role of Harriet, a woman who thinks that no real man can
really compare to Austen's famous romantic hero Mr. Darcy, and is by
some miracle transported into Pride & Prejudice where she gets an
unexpected chance to find out if that is really true or not.

HALLMARK'S SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
We will see Dan Jeannotte February 24th |
The movie follows two women: Marianne struggles to choose between two
men while Elinor longs for a men she cannot reach. It stars Deborah Ayorinde, Bethany Antonia and out beloved Hallmark and Star Trek hunk Dan Jeannotte who is looking good in tight breeches. The other costumes look colourful and lovely too, it seems they invested more in it and it had a bigger budget than most of their flicks. Does this mean we might get more costume dramas from Hallmark? This one closes the month of love on Saturday evening February 24th!
I'm not much of an Austen fan, so I'll probably skip these. I'm more for Christmas romance instead of February (or shall we say Loveuary).
ReplyDeleteI have to read her Northanger Abbey for a review because my publisher has a new hardback.
DeleteSENSE AND SENSIBILITY with so many blacks..what's going on? Don't get me wrong, I am not against black or any people of colours, but this is just as ridiculous as getting a black/brown playing snowwhite.
ReplyDeleteIt is utterly ridiculous. They say it is because they are discriminated, but who isn't? Acting is a visual job, is Danny De Vitto discriminated because he will never play Romeo or Superman due to his looks? Or will Nicol Kidman ever be queen of Shiba? Blackwashing makes as much sense to me as whitewashing does. Denzel Washington will play Hannibal in new epic movie, even though he was white and so was his daughter Salambo who will be played by that black girl from Little Mermaid. Ridiculous and dangerous too.
