Upcoming Movies

CMT has announced that LeAnn Rimes, Ricky Shroeder, and Laura Bell Bundy will star in two upcoming original films slated for this summer. Ricky Shroeder and Laura Bell Bundy will star in To The Mat, which tells the story of a laid-back ex-wrestler (Schroder) who’s trying to keep his family’s down-and-out southern wrestling school above water. When his mother hires an uptight Wall Street consultant from New York (Bell Bundy) to help get the books in order, these two opposites must find a way to get along and save the family business. The film is currently in production and set to premiere in August. Reel Love stars LeAnn as a successful, big city girl who returns to her small town roots after a family emergency. Her character then embarks on a soulful, comedic journey to reconnect with family and friends and find meaningful romance along the way. Filming will begin in late April with a premiere set for September.

Loretta Lynn has had to postpone a few shows on her current tour to make way for a much-needed knee surgery to correct some pain she’s been feeling while on stage. She did take time to sit down with Philly.com and talk about her music saying that it’s changed quite a bit since her younger years, but says fans will have to either “accept it or forget it.” She also says she’s working on several new projects and plans to work with rocker Jack White again soon. Loretta is scheduled to perform at the Inn of the Mountain Gods on May 12th.

And finally, don’t forget that Trace Adkins’ latest film The Lincoln Lawyer hits theatres on Friday. He’s had parts in several sitcoms, T-V movies as well as three big screen films, but Lincoln Lawyer is by far the biggest film he’s earned a role in. He says one way he could tell this film was a bigger deal than ones he’d worked on in the past was by the amount of yelling on the set. Trace said, “A lot more producers on this movie. There were like five or six producers on this movie and they were always yelling at the director at the same time usually. I guess the more dollars at stake, the more yelling there is.” Trace stars alongside Matthew McConaughey who plays a lawyer that’s on retainer with Trace’s biker gang.
