Did someone say vanity project?

Mariah Carey, who is already filming her own E! reality series Mariah’s World, now has a multiple telemovie deal with Hallmark in the US.

She will develop, executive produce, direct and co-star in three (…that’s three!) telemovies and compose and produce an original song for each.

It follows her directorial debut on A Christmas Melody which drew 3.9m US viewers in December, while Mariah Carey’s Merriest Christmas special is also Hallmark’s most-watched holiday event.

“We are honored to continue our collaboration with the multi-talented Mariah Carey,” said Michelle Vicary, EVP Programming at Crown Media Family Networks. “It’s rare to work with a talent who can produce, direct, star and also compose original music for a project, and we know she will deliver for our viewers once again.”

As a Hallmark project it appears there is no producer involvement from Jamie Packer’s RatPac Entertainment.

  1. I’m inclined to say good for her. Most people would rather do less work for more money. Developing, producing, co-starring, directing and writing original music for a project – actually sounds like a lot of work! Not likely to watch any of them, but still…. 🙂

  2. I enjoyed ‘A Christmas Melody’, even though it was your typical cheesy Christmas movie. It did record ratings for Hallmark, so I’m not surprised that they’ve signed her on for more. I’m glad she’ll be, at least, providing some original music for them.
