COLUMBIA — Two years ago when Frank Hutto was writing a film script that called for a pastor with a football past, he didn’t have a fictional character in mind. He was thinking of South Carolina great Marcus Lattimore.
In January, the former Gamecocks running back played himself during the filming of “Faith’s Song,” produced by Lexington-based Northface Christian Films. Lattimore appears in one key scene in the movie, which according to producer Frank Hutto is scheduled for release in the fall.
“Marcus has done a lot of speaking, and he’s been out in the public eye for a long time now,” Hutto said.
