Paging Mr. Darcy: release date, trailer, cast, plot and everything we know about the Hallmark Channel movie

Imagine having one of your favorite literary characters following you around. That's what happens for Jane Austen scholar Eloise (Mallory Jansen) when she meets her very own Mr. Darcy, aka Sam (Will Kemp), in Paging Mr. Darcy, the first movie in the Loveuary celebration on Hallmark Channel. 

Dressed as the dashing Mr. Darcy, Sam's job is to help Eloise while she's attending the Jane Austen conference. But where he loves attention, she isn't so fond of being in the spotlight, so they strike a deal. But as they spend more time together, Sam helps Eloise see the world in a new way.

The Loveuary lineup includes other Austen-themed movies like Love & Jane, A American in Austen and Sense and Sensibility.
