But her featuring in a lead role here wasn’t the only reason I wanted to watch Mail Order Monster.

Here, a young girl is having some issues with life. Primarily, a bully at school and her Dad’s new girlfriend. It seems that help might be at hand though when a comic she is reading advertises a ‘Mail Order Monster’, that could be the answer to her problems.

Filming for a new drama called "The River" is scheduled to take in several months in the Detroit area. The drama will revolve around a despondent cab driver who is planning to take his own life until his plan is interrupted by an elderly passenger who is on her way to a hospice center.

It will be Michigan-based corporate and broadcast video director Robert Gothro's big screen directorial debut. Marc Prey (Hallmark's "All I Want for Christmas) wrote the script for the drama and will produce the film with Gothro under Moving Pictures Entertainment.

"It's a story of loss, redemption and hope," Prey said in a press release. "It's something we feel will truly hit home with audiences, particularly given the current state of our country."

Veteran casting director Pamela Guest has been hired and is in talks with Kristen Bell and Ellen Burstyn about two of the key roles for the film.

Gail O'Grady, Greg Germann and Robert Mailhouse have been tapped to star in the Hallmark Channel original movie All I Want for Christmas.

The movie, set to premiere Dec. 1, centers on a single mother (O'Grady) with no time for dating who suddenly finds herself with thousands of potential suitors.

The movie, from Alpine Medien, Larry Levinson Prods. and Grand Army Entertainment, is executive produced by Nick Lombardo and Michael Moran, with Kyle Clark and Stephen Niver producing. Harvey Frost is the director; Marc Prey wrote the script.
