Amber Marshall & Kerry James Unite for Heartwarming New Movie – All the Details!
The buzz around Amber Marshall and Kerry James continues to grow, not just for their roles in Heartland but also for an exciting new project that will showcase them in a whole new light. Fans were recently thrilled by the trailer for Heartland Season 17, where Amy (played by Amber Marshall) shares a kiss with a mysterious man. Speculations ran wild, with many fans, including myself, believing the man to be Caleb (portrayed by Kerry James). While it remains unclear how this relationship will unfold on the show, there’s more exciting news for those who love seeing Amber and Kerry together.
Amber Marshall and Kerry James are set to portray a married couple in an upcoming movie titled Elke’s Magic. The film is based on a book of the same name by author Anga Margaret Foster. Amber will play the titular character Elke Becker, while Kerry will take on the role of her husband, Werner Becker.
The screenplay for Elke’s Magic has been written by Dana and Smith. Set in the 1970s, the story follows Elke, an empath with remarkable healing abilities. Despite her gifts, she lives a reclusive life, finding solace in her private world. Her peaceful existence is disrupted when two travelers, Meg and Sam, arrive and uncover her mysterious past. Together, they strive to help Elke overcome the struggles rooted in her history. At its core, the story is a touching exploration of love, friendship, kindness, and healing.
Amber and Kerry’s involvement in the movie is particularly exciting for fans of Heartland, as it provides an opportunity to see their chemistry outside the beloved series. Notably, Elke’s Magic will also have a Heartland connection behind the scenes, as Michelle Morgan, known for directing several episodes of the show, will serve as the film’s director. Michelle is set to direct a few episodes of Heartland Season 17, making this her latest directorial venture.
Currently in pre-production, the team behind Elke’s Magic is busy finalizing sets, costumes, budgeting, and other preparations. Filming is expected to begin sometime between now and next summer, with a likely start date toward the end of this year.
Author Anga Margaret Foster shared insights about the casting process in a video on her YouTube channel. She revealed that she wanted an equestrian and animal lover for the leading role, and Amber Marshall was her first choice. Thankfully, Amber enthusiastically accepted the role. While it’s unclear if Kerry James was also a first choice, he happily joined the project.
For Kerry, this is a significant new opportunity beyond his role in Heartland. Though he has appeared on Graham Wardle’s podcast, Time Has Come, he hasn’t had many other projects outside the show. On the other hand, Amber has been actively diversifying her career. She recently wrapped up a Christmas movie titled Blinded by Christmas Love, set to release this winter.
The pairing of Amber and Kerry in Elke’s Magic is bound to excite fans who have long speculated about a potential romantic storyline for their characters in Heartland. While some fans are hesitant about Amy and Caleb becoming a couple due to Caleb’s close friendship with Ty, others argue that the two characters share a deep bond and similar life circumstances as single parents. Even if Heartland doesn’t explore this dynamic, Elke’s Magic will provide fans with a chance to see Amber and Kerry as a married couple, sparking new conversations about their chemistry on-screen.
Although Kerry’s role in Elke’s Magic may not be as prominent as Amber’s, their portrayal as husband and wife will be a fascinating watch. It may even influence fans’ opinions about a potential pairing in Heartland.
