Tyrone continues to hang onto its train wreck of a past. Producers will film yet another movie in Tyrone, the small film mecca of Pennsylvania. Recently, producers have scouted Tyrone to be used as a backdrop for a Denzel Washington movie, Unstoppable. Now, scouts for the horror movie "The Hills Have No Teeth" want to use the town as a backdrop for several scenes of the movie. The movie will be a sequel to the successful "The Hills Have Eyes" series. Nanette Tooder, publicist for the production company Psyko Babble, said the team was impressed with the natural creepiness of many residents, particularly those who walk downtown right around dusk. "The town has natural beauty," said Tooder. "Fortunately, the residents don't." Chaz Leiberson, who is slated to direct the movie, said that some Tyrone residents will be asked to join the cast as extras, or "Extries" as townsfolk like to say. "We've already had our people talk to their people," said Leiberson. "Their people are, of course, welfare caseworkers. They're afraid they may be thrown off the roles if they're gainfully employed for more than two weeks." Dani Jo Gleason, a recent Tyrone resident and methadone actress, said she's preparing for her role. "I'm doin' a lot of studyin' up on Stanislav's exercises to really embrace the role of a maniacal inbred," said Gleason. "Stanislav is the name of my brother-in-law, who just got out of prison after serving time for sexual assault."
