By Movieguide® Staff
The new family-friendly movie R.A.D.A.R.: ADVENTURES OF THE BIONIC DOG, which stars Dean Cain, recently began filming in Florida.
The former LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN star plays the mayor of Dunedin in the new movie about a bionic dog.
CBS’ Tampa Bay 10 reported:
He’ll be playing the mayor of Dunedin in the upcoming film “R.A.D.A.R.: Adventures of the Bionic Dog.” Filming has already begun and will last through the month of April.
St. Petersburg/Clearwater Film Commissioner Tony Armer says the film will be a “fun, family-friendly adventure.”
The film centers around a “wonderfully mad” villain named Dr. Vanhook, who has built the “most incredible invention that ever walked the planet” — a bionic dog, according to an online casting release.
“R.A.D.A.R.,” which stands for Remote Activated Doubloon Acquiring Rex, was built to track down Spanish gold, aka doubloons, along the Florida coast.
But Vanhook doesn’t realize the dog has emotions and a moral compass and has befriended a child. The dog helps the boy find a legendary pirate treasure, and now the villain is doing everything to get the dog and the treasure for himself and keep it from the town that really needs it.
R.A.D.A.R. follows Cain’s recent faith-based flick, NO VACANCY, which was also filmed in Florida.
A portion of Movieguide®’s review for NO VACANCY reads:
NO VACANCY tells the true story of a reporter who’s demoted to the rural town of Leesburg, Florida, but finds purpose and faith when she pursues a story about a local Baptist church’s efforts to support the homeless physically and spiritually. NO VACANCY portrays this true story in a lively, compelling way and has a strong Christian, moral worldview stressing key biblical themes like redemption, sacrifice, trust, and perseverance, but MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children and young teenagers due to some intense violence and references to overcoming drug addiction.
