SANTA MONICA, Calif. - EntSun -- KEVIN SORBO JOINS SPEED SHIFT: ORIGINS
AS KYLE "KICKER" REYNOLDS

Veteran Actor Takes on a Pivotal Role in the New Character-Driven Automotive Drama from Slam City Films

Slam City Films announced today that Kevin Sorbo has joined the cast of the upcoming feature film SPEED SHIFT: ORIGINS, taking on the role of Kyle "Kicker" Reynolds, a former racer whose legacy — and hard-earned wisdom — become central to the film's story.

Best known to audiences worldwide for his starring roles in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Andromeda, Sorbo brings decades of screen presence to a character built around experience, consequence and second chances.

In SPEED SHIFT: ORIGINS, Kyle "Kicker" Reynolds isn't simply a mentor. He is a man with his own history behind the wheel — someone who understands both the exhilaration of racing and the price that can come with it.

When gifted young driver Colton Harris finds himself at a crossroads, Kyle recognizes something familiar in him: raw ability without the experience to understand where that ability can lead.

Their relationship becomes one of the emotional foundations of the film.

"Kevin brings exactly what Kyle needs — strength, history and authenticity," said Michael Vincent, Producer and Director of SPEED SHIFT: ORIGINS. "Kyle has lived this life. He doesn't need to tell everyone how good he once was. You feel it. Kevin has the presence to make that character believable from the moment he walks on screen."

Unlike traditional street-racing films built primarily around spectacle, SPEED SHIFT: ORIGINS uses automotive culture as the backdrop for a larger story about family, mentorship, competition, community and the choices that define who we become.

Set against the roads, racetracks and small-town landscape of Minnesota, the film combines practical automotive action with a grounded, character-driven story designed to introduce audiences to a larger Speed Shift universe.
