Psych’s Corbin Bernsen began filming a movie about the struggling Soap Box Derby in Akron, OH yesterday. Reportedly, “The former LA Law and Major League star is trying to help the cash-strapped nonprofit after reading about their situation in USA Today last year.”
The film, entitled 25 Hill, will shoot in Akron for only a short time before returning to L.A. for the bulk of filming. They will be back in Akron this summer though to film additional exterior scenes. Corbin is spreading out the shoot to accommodate his Psych filming schedule in Vancouver.
Remember those fabulous Akron Cadet-Ettes who were in Akron for 40 years? They were the “host” band for the All American Soap Box Derby for 9 years! They would have been MORE THAN WILLING to get together to be the musical addition to this movie!
