‘Superman’ actor Dean Cain, MLB all-star Jonathan Lucroy film baseball movie in Texas
A “Superman” actor and former MLB all-star are teaming up for a new movie filming in Texas.
In early June, JCFilms Studios announced a faith-based movie called “Dinger Disciples,” which is based on the real Waco baseball camp of the same name. The camp is founded by a couple of local dads, Reece Meador and Cody Holt, and just celebrated its second year, according to KWTX-TV.
“Dinger Disciples” will follow the two dads who combine baseball and the Bible into a “powerful ministry that now draws hundreds of young athletes each year.”
“Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” star Dean Cain will portray Meador and two-time MLB all-star (and former Texas Ranger) Jonathan Lucroy plays Holt. Former MLB player Aubrey Huff, who grew up in Mineral Wells, has a cameo in the film.
Production on "Dinger Disciples” got underway in early July during the camp in Waco.
The film will next move to Dallas and Bridgeport, W.Va. to complete scenes. No release date has been set for the feature.
"Dinger Disciples” is directed by JCFilms Studios president Jason Campbell, who shared the following statement in a press release:
“’Dinger Disciples’ is about far more than baseball,” Campbell said. “It’s about fathers and sons, mentors and coaches, second chances, and discovering that the greatest victory isn’t hitting a home run—it’s finding hope in Christ.”
