IT IS JANE AUSTEN ON HALLMARK ALL FEBRUARY: SEE THE FILMS AND COSTUME DRAMAS STARRING WILL KEMP, DAN JEANNOTTE AND OTHERS

 JANE AUSTEN ON HALLMARK 

PAGING MR. DARCY WITH WILL KEMP

Paging Mr. Darcy starts February 3rd

To celebrate the month of love this year, Hallmark has decided to fill February weekends with Jane Austen inspired romantic movies and they called it Loveuary, a whole month celebrating love through brand new films about Jane Austen featuring some of your favourite Hallmark stars like our dashing Will Kemp who leads the first movie that opens this Austen marathon. PAGING MR. DARCY launches this lovefest from February 3rd with Will Kemp and Mallory Jansen in lead roles. When an overly serious scholar attends a Jane Austen annual conference where she is asked to give a keynote speech, she strikes a deal with the man playing Mr. Darcy and finds her perspective, and her heart, changed. Check out the trailer below the post.

AN AMERICAN IN AUSTEN

An American in Austen starts February 17th

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

It was strange that Hallmark kept the cast of this one hidden for a long time and we had almost no information about it other that it will be their movie adaptation of Jane Austen's famous work SENSE AND SENSIBILITY but now that they have finally unveiled first images it became clear why they kept it from the public: it will obviously be a completely blackwashed version of the classic story.

  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!

 

WILL KEMP AND DAN JEANNOTTE TO LEAD JANE AUSTEN INSPIRED MOVIES THIS FEBRUARY ON HALLMARK

 JANE AUSTEN AT HALLMARK 

WITH WILL KEMP & DAN JEANNOTTE

Hallmark has announced that next February will be filled with Jane Austen inspired movies. Four films include PAGING MR. DARCY with Mallory Jansen and Will Kemp in which love of Jane Austen’s stories helps two people overcome their pride and admit to their belief in love. February 10th brings LOVE & JANE in which a woman finds guidance from Jane Austen, quite literally. It stars Alison Sweeney and Benjamin Ayres. AN AMERICAN IN AUSTEN follows a librarian who thinks that no man can live up to Mr. Darcy and gets an unexpected chance to find out if that’s true. Eliza Bennett, Nicholas Bishop, and Nell Barlow will star in it on February 17th. The last weekend brings sumptuously beautiful adaptation of SENSE & SENSIBLITY, starring Deborah Ayorinde, Bethany Antonia, Dan Jeannotte, and Akil Largie. I am guessing it will be period set.
