MUMBAI: Hallmark channel has announced a diverse array of
programmes for next month.
On 1 September at 9 pm, Paperback Hero takes centrestage
on the channel. The film stars Hugh Jackman who played Wolverine
in X-Men. He plays a driver of a road train across
the Australian outback. To pass time he writes a novel,
a mushy romance set against the background of World War
I. Anxious to maintain his he-man image, Jack submits the
novel to a Sydney publisher under the pseudonym of Ruby
Vale, a close friend. Complications arise when a publishing
representative shows up.
Lovers of serials, which do not descend into soap opera
mush, can check out Early Edition. The show starts
2 September and airs Monday- Friday at 8 pm. The main protagonist
played by Kyle Chandler gets the newspaper every day one
day in advance. Therefore, he can prevent bad news form
occurring within the span of 24 hours. Chandler won a Saturn
award for his role.
A different take on the classic of the Swiss Family Robinson,
Stranded stars Liam Cunningham and shot in Thailand
and airs on 8 and 9 September at 9 pm. My Life as a fairy
tale - Hans Christian Anderson airs in two parts on
22 and 23 September. More innovation on the classic fairy
tales comes in the form of Jack and The Beanstalk: The
Real Story. Starring Mathew Modine and Vanessa Redgrave
the film airs on 24 and 25 September at 9 pm. It has a twist
in that the beanstalk story is no legend, but an actual
historical event whose details have been muddied and perverted
over the past four centuries. It also deals with two interesting
issues which are the cloning of the goose to provide an
endless supply of gold and the importance of the greening
of the environment and its beneficial effect on the population.
