The content runs the gamut from the true story of a US president
to the legend of King Solomons Mines. Hallmark Entertainment's
president of production and distribution Joel Denton has been quoted
in an official release saying, "Hallmark Entertainment's cornerstone
of success has always be based upon solid epic event fare. We are
recognised for our exceptional storytelling, international awarding
winning star power, and the ability to deliver appealing product
that crosses boundaries and languages to capture the worldwide audience."
Hallmark's four new miniseries that it will showcase at MIPCOM
2003 are:
10.5 - When a series of increasingly powerful earthquakes
start hitting America's northwestern coast in this four-hour action-adventure,
a seismologist concludes that the temblors are related and will
get worse unless they can be stopped. As the situation follows her
predictions, the president orders extreme measures be taken, including
the use of nuclear weapons to stop the quakes at their source. A
small group of volunteers must risk their lives to execute the plan.
It stars Kim Delaney, David Cubitt, Kaley Cuoco, Beau Bridges.

town to the Oval Office and the US Presidency this true story follows

miniseries chronicles Reagan¹s years as a Hollywood movie star,
his marriage to his devoted wife Nancy ( played by Emmy and Golden
Globe winner Judy Davis), his tumultuous role as a father of two,

chapter of his presidential life.
Frankenstein: Mary Shelly's horror classic comes to life
in this four-hour action-adventure miniseries. Frankenstein stars
Alec Newman as Victor Frankenstein, Luke Goss as The Creature, newcomer
Nicole Lewis as Victor¹s love interest Elizabeth, and French
