Former 'General Hospital' Star Antonio Sabato Jr. Reveals Unique New Film Project

Former General Hospital star Antonio Sabato Jr. has announced the mystery project he has been teasing on social media in recent weeks, revealing details about a new film with an unusual production approach.

In a post on Instagram, Sabato Jr. revealed he will portray Tony DeFranco in the upcoming film Just Drive.

According to Sabato Jr’s post, Tony DeFranco is: “A reclusive, cancelled former A-list filmmaker. Framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Hunted by the press, silenced by the platforms, erased from the internet. With the world watching and the powerful closing in, he has one night, one limo, one driver, and a truth so dangerous that someone already tried to kill him to keep it buried. His only weapon? A story the world isn’t supposed to hear.”

The film is the debut production from Gratwick Studios, with Sabato Jr. also serving as an executive producer.

The project is described as a “one-night thriller set almost entirely inside a limo. Tony, a man Hollywood celebrated, then destroyed, then forgot, is picked up by Jeremy, a young driver drowning in his own debts and guilt, on the worst night of both their lives. What starts as a ride to no where as Tony figures out his next move becomes a reckoning with the industry that made him, the systems that control them, and the truth about what happens when you refuse to stay silent.”

The description continues: “It’s a story about power, corruption, cancel culture, and what it costs to tell the truth when everyone with influence needs you to shut up. It’s about two men from opposite ends of life discovering that the same machine grinding them down is the one they’ve been told to trust.”
