Larry Richert Plays Key Role In Making Major Movie

WASHINGTON, PA (KDKA) ― KDKA's Larry Richert has taken on many jobs with his "Larry On the Job" feature; and he's even doing it while he's on vacation!

This week he's on the set of "Shannon's Rainbow," a major Hollywood movie that's being filmed right here in Western Pennsylvania – and he played a key role in bringing some big names in Hollywood to town to film it.

Larry actually co-wrote the story with friend, John Mowod, and they're both serving as the Pennsylvania producers on the project.

The movie is based in part on a true story about Mowod's brother, Joe, who nursed a horse back to health and on to a big win.

The pair wrote the script over a 14-month period – but it took another 13 years to get to this point.

Filming began earlier this week – bringing such stars as Daryl Hannah, Charles Durning, Claire Forlani, Steve Guttenberg, George Lopez and others to the region.

Today crews were shooting in a rural area of Washington County and they're expected to film a lot of scenes around the Meadows Racetrack.

Filming is expected to wrap up in late July.
