William Shatner Dupes Town With Fake Movie Shoot

[matcom]

<snip>

The eastern Iowa town of Riverside -- whose claim to fame is that it is the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk of "Star Trek" fame -- has been duped.

William Shatner, who played Kirk, let Riverside in on his secret Tuesday night that the town is the unwitting cast of a reality television show.

Shatner originally said he chose Riverside as the location to shoot a science fiction movie he wrote called "Invasion Iowa."

But now the truth is out.

Shatner said the filming done in Riverside will be used for a show that will be shown in 2005 on cable channel Spike TV.

To soften the blow, Shatner and his co-producers are donating $100,000 to Riverside for community projects.
