Luke Macfarlane Explains Why Upcoming Hallmark Movie Will Likely Be His Last

Hallmark's annual Christmas programming event on Oct.

Antonio Ferme editor Are we witnessing the start of the “Bros” Cinematic Universe? Billy Eichner stars in the Universal Pictures rom-com as the director of an LGBTQ history museum who falls for a hunky attorney (Luke Macfarlane). After scoring positive reactions at TIFF, Variety was on the movie’s premiere red carpet in New York City Tuesday night to ask if a potential sequel could be in the works. “Billy and I’ve been joking about [the possibilities], I’m not sure what it would be,” Macfarlane told Variety. “The truth is, in any relationship, those early months are the best. And then the reality of life sets in and you got to figure out how you’re going to spend all that time with somebody.”

Billy Eichner and Luke MacFarlane are hitting the red carpet for the premiere of their new movie!

Details about Luke Macfarlane‘s upcoming Hallmark Channel Christmas movie have just been revealed.

EXCLUSIVE: Christmas has come early for Hallmark Media: Alison Sweeney (The Wedding Veil trilogy) has agreed to a multi-picture overall deal with the channel.

Jonathan Bennett and Brooke D’Orsay have some fun in an obstacle course in this new look at their Hallmark movie, Wedding of a Lifetime.

EXCLUSIVE: Keeping in line with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s business belief that movies are destined for theatrical, not streaming, the originally conceived Steven Soderbergh directed HBO Max threequel Magic Mike’s Last Dance is heading to theaters on Feb. 10, 2023 – Super Bowl weekend. Warner Bros. already had the date set aside on the release calendar.

Billy Eichner’s “Bros” just make history at the Toronto International Film Festival? It certainly felt like it. The Universal movie is breaking all kinds of barriers: It’s the first gay rom-com ever made by a major studio, the first with an all openly LGBTQ cast and Eichner is the first openly gay man to ever write and star in a studio movie. Audiences finally got to see the movie for themselves in Toronto on Friday night and, judging by the shrieks of laughter throughout the screening, it was a hit. “I want to thank TIFF for letting a comedy into a movie festival!” Eichner yelled into the audience before the film rolled, making a valid point about the dearth of studio comedies that world premiere at top international film festivals.

Naman Ramachandran A first trailer has been unveiled for Toronto selection “Salt Lake,” Kasia Rosłaniec’s exploration of late-life desire and emancipation. In the film, 64-year-old Helena announces her intention to pursue sexual experiences with other men – much to the shock of her husband of 40 years. The cast includes Katarzyna Butowtt, Krzysztof Stelmaszyk, Adam Ferency, Dorota Kolak, Dagmara Krasowska, Judyta Paradzińska and Jacek Poniedziałek. The film will screen at Toronto as part of Industry Selects – 10 titles chosen by festival programmers for their sales potential. It is produced by Warsaw-based Mañana in co-production with Common Ground Pictures from Gothenburg, Sweden, the partners behind “United States of Love,” which won a Silver Bear at Berlin in 2016. The project was presented at the Berlinale coproduction market 2020, received a Creative Europe – MEDIA development grant and Polish Film Institute production support. “Salt Lake” will be released in Poland in spring 2023.

John Legend is clearing the air about the political rift that ended his friendship with Kanye West. It was previously reported that the longtime friends and collaborators had struggled to see eye-to-eye regarding the 2020 presidential race and West's public support of Donald Trump.

Imagine sipping on a glass of fizz as you watch the sunset over the Cumbrian countryside, before curling up on a plush sofa after a day walking in the Lake District fells. There’s not a soul around as you enjoy the tranquillity of your own private cabin.

Luke Macfarlane is ready to move on from Hallmark.

Nicole Kidman is hard at work on her upcoming Netflix rom-com with co-star Joey King!

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.” As you’ll read (and see in the video above), this week’s column is a little different this time around. I am running around the Beverly Center trying to find something to wear for my interview with actor Luke Macfarlane. It’s not often I think about my outfits because I’m classic and consistent — chinos, button-up shirt, bow tie and a pair of colorful sneakers. However, my time with Macfarlane is going to be different because my editor has convinced me not only to work out with him, but to do it on camera.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is back!

 is back with a pared down cast, but double the drama for season 3. OG stars Whitney Rose, Jen Shah, Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay and Meredith Marks all return for this fresh batch of episodes, which largely focus on Jen's ongoing legal battle with the federal government — at least judging by the just-released trailer. In July, Jen changed her plea in her federal fraud case to guilty after professing her innocence for more than a year, including while filming this new season.

Baltimore Sun read. Another detail that was magnified in the retelling came from a woman who was identified as the supervisor for the film crew’s security team.

Trouble in the Housewives universe, and this time it’s pretty shocking…
