Summary: A must-see
movie is being filmed in our area. Station: KDKA Channel 2
Reporter: Keith Jones When it Aired: June 18 Running Time:
20 seconds Visuals: The many faces of morning anchor Keith
Jones. Highlights: * When Jones warns, "If you see something
unusual happening in Westmoreland County this week, don't
worry: It's just a movie." * When he adds, "[C]rews
are filming a new movie called Mars Attacks Mount Pleasant.
This title strikes me funny, I don't know why. The producers
say the movie is written to be a comedy poking fun at the
media. The scenes for the film are being shot all around the
Pittsburgh area." What We Learned: Poking fun at the
media -- there's a novel idea. Unanswered Question: Why don't
any other planets attack us? Mars, Mars, Mars! It's always
Mars! News Value: 3.
