Blast Off!

It’s not often that you can see three of your favorite daytime stars in one film, so if you missed the theatrical release of 23 Blast last fall, now’s your chance to make up for it! The inspirational picture, which stars DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Mark Hapka (ex-Nathan) and features GUIDING LIGHT’s Kim Zimmer (Reva) and Crystal Hunt (Lizzie), will become available on DVD at Walmart beginning Tuesday, January 20.

“It’s the true story of Travis Freeman, a high school football player from Kentucky who was at the height of his game when he was struck by bacterial meningitis and lost his sight,” Hapka offers of his starring role. “He had to readjust to life afterwards and went through a bout of depression, but eventually his coach convinced him to come back to the team.”

Look for Hunt to play the cheerleader who breaks Travis’ heart, and for Zimmer to bring the heat as his emotional mom in this film produced by former ONE LIFE TO LIVE director Gary Donatelli. For Hapka, who rose to the challenge of playing blind, the best part of the film was getting to do some of the football training he recalls from his own youth. “It was really nice to put the gear back on,” he confirms, “and get back out there!”
