Now, as certified (by us – we certified ourselves) One Tree Hill super fans, we will always follow whatever the stars of One Tree Hill do. Jana Kramer had been teasing her latest Christmas movie, and that was all that got us really excited.
She’s set to star in The Christmas Ring, which will head to the screen on November 6th. The book is by New York Times bestselling author and filmmaker Karen Kingsbury.
Starring opposite Kramer in the movie is Benjamin Hollingsworth. A Virgin River star? That was enough to get us to definitely be committed to watching. The movie is set to be released via Fathom Entertainment.
“The Christmas Ring is going to be a sentimental and long-lasting experience for theater-goers this holiday season,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment said in a statement. “We hope to work with Karen Kingsbury Productions for the release of her heartfelt movies for many years to come.”
SOME MORE CASTING
Benjamin Hollingsworth and Kelsey Grammer both signed on to the film. The movie is about a widower of a U.S. Armed Forces member, looking for her missing family Christmas ring when she meets a charming antiques dealer (Hollingsworth), whose father might unwittingly have the lost heirloom.
Although we don’t know who Grammer will be playing but we’re assuming Hollingsworth’s character, Pops.
Kingsbury said, “I’ve always loved the Christmas classic movies – While You Were Sleeping and Miracle on 34th Street, Holiday, and You’ve Got Mail. It’s time to give people an unforgettable Christmas love story in theaters. This is one they will want to watch every year.”
We’ll pre-order the book so we can read it before we watch. The book is set to be released on October 21st.
Filming is underway in Nashville.
I’m very excited for this movie too, I love Karen’s books so much!
