This September, a new Hallmark movie flies its way onto Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The movie – starring Heather Hemmens, Niall Matter, Pietra Castro, and Geogia Acken – is called Come Fly With Me and is an original picture about a new United States Air Force Thunderbird pilot and a civilian who are brought together by their young daughters, but her dedication to duty may mean their romance won’t be cleared for take-off.
Come Fly With Me was filmed in cooperation with the Department of the Air Force and the Department of
Defense. The Department of Defense provided production access to film scenes on location at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, the home of the Thunderbirds, and the movie features exciting flight footage courtesy of the Department of the Air Force.
According to Hallmark, “Not long after Capt. Emma Fitzgerald (Hemmens) arrives at Nellis Air Force Base for her two-year assignment on the famed Thunderbirds team, her shy, 11-year-old daughter Lucy (Castro) is befriended by Alice (Acken), whose civilian father Paul (Matter), a widower, is raising her on his own. Alice is in awe of Emma, as she dreams of becoming a pilot someday despite suffering from a heart condition.
“As the foursome spends time together, the girls decide to play matchmaker in the hope that a romance will lead Emma to put down roots rather than move again when her time with the Thunderbirds ends. Emma and Paul are drawn to each other and a spark develops, but Emma is overwhelmed by the demands of her Thunderbirds training and tells him she needs to focus on her flying.
“But when Alice’s health suddenly worsens, the thing keeping Emma and Paul apart could be what
ultimately brings them all together.”
Commenting on the new movie, Elizabeth Yost, Senior Vice President, Development, Programming at Hallmark Media said: “Through this beautiful story, Hallmark Media is honored to celebrate and thank the commitment made by members of the military – and their families – as they serve our country,”
Elizabeth added: “It is a long-standing priority for us to create movies set in this world, which resonate strongly with our viewers. We’re so proud to partner with the United States Air Force and DoD to bring this
special, heartfelt story to life.”
Lt. Col. Darrick Lee, Director, U.S. Air Force Entertainment Liaison Office, said: “The U.S. Air Force is excited to partner with Hallmark Media and Front Street Pictures to bring a story that loosely showcases the pride, precision and professionalism of our nation’s elite Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds.”
Come Fly With Me is an Air Road and Front Street Pictures production, with Charles Cooper as producer. Jack Grossbart, Linda Kent, Michael Shepard, and Marnie Young are executive producers on the movie.
Come Fly With Me is directed by Michael Robison. The film is based on a script by Denise Farley & Debra Oliver and Trish Vogel.
Should you wish to check out the new movie, Hallmark’s Come Fly With Me makes its debut on Friday 15th September. The movie will be screened at 9pm ET/PT on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
