Hurricane Katrina forces Hallmark US to postpone movie air date

MUMBAI: Out of respect for the victims of Hurricane Katrina Hallmark US has announced that it will not air the movie Landslide in the near future.
 
 

The film was to air today 10 September 2005. On Diamondback Mountain, an excavation crew setting off explosive charges fails to notice the tremors and cracks racing across the ridge’s face. Suddenly the earth breaks open, swallowing everything and engulfing Diamondback Mountain in a rolling avalanche of soil, timber and rock. The dust settles, but the nightmare has just begun. The buried must get above ground before all hope is lost in Landslide.
 
 

Hallmark executive VP programming David Kenin said, “Out of respect for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Hallmark Channel will preempt its movie Landslide. Story elements of this movie are vaguely and uncomfortably similar to the natural disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Gulf Coast at large. Our hearts and thoughts are with those affected by this natural disaster.”
