Rueben's Ramblings

The Hallmark Channel movie The Hunters will debut on October 25 at 8 PM.

This is a modern-day-fairy-tale-adventure adaptation of the Joshua Williamson comic book “Mirror Mirror” (based on the magical mirror from “Snow White”) that will focus on Carter and Jordyn Flynn (Dan Payne from Tower Prep and Michelle Forbes from Battlestar Galactica and The Killing), who aren’t the average mom and dad. For them, a typical workday can take place anywhere in the world, raiding ornate museums and evading pursuing authorities as Hunters, protectors of powerful fairy tale artifacts that are anything but make believe. While they take their jobs seriously, they’re just as concerned about the welfare of their two sons, 21-year old Paxton (Robbie Amell from The Tomorrow People) and 16-year old Tripp (Keenan Tracey from 16 Wishes), who are unaware of their parents’ true line of work.

When Carter and Jordyn disappear after being intercepted by the mysterious Mai during one of their missions, the boys learn the truth about their parents and their lineage from the Flynns’ young assistant Dylan (Alexa Vega from Spy Kids). They turn to old family friend Mason (Victor Garber from Alias) for help but they soon discover that the deceitful Mason is after what the Flynns were trying to protect – an enchanted mirror that has the ability to grant any wish.

Here is a trailer for The Hunters.
