Pittsburgh will play host to the premiere of a Tom Cruise movie that was filmed in several local communities, including Dormont, last year. "Jack Reacher," originally named "One Shot" after the novel the story is based on, will premiere at the SouthSide Works Cinema on Dec. 15.

It was a little strange to see trailers emblazoned with “Paramount Pictures” logos lining Peermont Avenue last week. It was even stranger for Peggy White, who had a production crew camped out in her kitchen. White’s Pinehurst Avenue home was the location producers of “One Shot,” a new movie featuring Tom Cruise, chose to shoot a few scenes. The movie is being filmed in the Pittsburgh area. “It’s very cool, but it’s kind of weird to get kicked out of your own house,” White said. “But it’s definitely been a good experience. Everyone who walked through my door was nothing but lovely.” The movie is scheduled for release in 2013. White—who also grew up in the house—said she’s excited to see it on the big screen and add something to the home’s …
