The network announced during its portion of the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour at the Beverly Hilton that its 2008 lineup will include 30 original movies, the largest-ever development slate of original telefilms in network history. The first movie of the new slate, When You Listen, executive produced by Abrams and starring Tom Bosley, is in preproduction for a premiere date of 9 p.m. Jan. 5.
"This makes us the largest single producer of quality movies ... of any cable network in the industry," said Henry Schleiff, president and CEO of Crown Media Holdings, owner and operator of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel.
Schleiff added that the movies are budgeted at more than $2 million each.

Listen, meanwhile, centers on a young girl's beloved grandfather who suffers a heart attack, only to use the would-be tragedy to help repair all the broken hearts around him.
