GL Vets Co-Star In New Film

Tags:

GUIDING LIGHT stars Kim Zimmer (Reva; Echo, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) and Crystal Hunt (Lizzie; Stacy, OLTL) are in Corbin, KY, this week filming the upcoming family movie 23 Blast. “Very excited! Great Cast! Great Role!!!” tweeted Zimmer, while Florida native Hunt posted that she “can’t wait to be back in the south.”

Based on the true story of Corbin teenager Travis Freeman, who, despite losing his eyesight at the age of 13 due to bacterial meningitis, refused to let his blindness hold him back and played the position of center for the Corbin High School Redhounds. For the purposes of the movie, Travis — who will be played by fellow soap alum Mark Hapka (ex-Nathan, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) — goes blind as he’s about to enter his senior year and must make a choice about returning to the field. OLTL director Gary Donatelli is one of the producers. Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 star Dylan Baker plays Travis’ father, Larry, and is also directing the inspirational story, which takes its title from one of the plays called by the Redhounds’ football coach. Zimmer will play as Travis’ mom, Mary, but it’s not yet known what Hunt’s role is in the independent film.
