Movie about reporter being filmed at Commercial Appeal offices

It's Nothing but the Truth, starring Matt Dillon and Kate Becksindale, reports the AP's Woody Baird.

The newspaper's real reporters and editors went about their duties throughout the filming, surrounded at times by dozens of production workers, actors, directors and camera operators.

Stacks of movie making equipment left little open space in the newsroom and its adjoining hallways.

Disruptive? "I suppose so, but I see their newspaper came out today," (writer-director Rod) Lurie said Friday.
