Cruise movie shoots in Sewickley There was a room in the inn for Tom Cruise on Thursday.
The Cruise crime thriller "One Shot" took over the former Sewickley Country Inn along Route 65.
Neighbors were told a nighttime scene would involve Cruise backing a car out of the parking lot and crashing into another car, then stepping out of the car.
"I can do that. I have done that, but I didn't get paid for it," wisecracked one of the 10 spectators gathered across busy Ohio River Boulevard about 5 p.m., as police periodically blocked traffic to allow the film crew to position a cherry-picker and other equipment. Eight cars marked as Pittsburgh Police vehicles were parked at one end of the old inn. At the other end, a few room doors were propped open next to a bunch of portable lights.
Neighbor Carol Roossin said she's been on TCSA all week.
"That's Tom Cruise Sighting Alert," Roossin said.
Friends have called to see if they should hurry down there, and whenever Roossin has walked her dogs the past few days, people have shouted out to see whether she's seen the "Top Gun" and "Jerry Maguire" star.
"It's kind of exciting and glamorous," Roossin said. SOURCE

Spectators Gather at Movie Shoot Hoping to See Tom Cruise Vicki Truchan estimated she’d been waiting since 6:30 p.m. across the street from the former Sewickley Country Inn, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tom Cruise.
It was about 9:45 p.m. when the “Top Gun” and “Jerry Maguire” star arrived on set in a black Cadillac Escalade. Cruise waved from the vehicle to the crowd, causing a rush of excitement and prompting cheers from spectators lined up in the cold along busy Route 65.
Sydney Bichsel, 13, was first to spot Cruise. She quickly pointed him out to friends Sarah McSweeney and Elizabeth Truchan.
“I saw his arm,” said her mother, Vicki Truchan of Sewickley, who is a huge fan. “I saw him wave, so that counts.”
Cruise was in Sewickley Thursday night filming scenes for his crime thriller “One Shot.” He stars as Jack Reacher, an ex-military investigator trying to catch a serial killer sniper in the adaptation of Lee Child's action-packed novel.
Cruise was gracious, stopping to wave to the crowd several times in between shooting a scene before being whisked away in the same vehicle.
Film crew members said the nighttime scenes would be shot through early Friday to take advantage of the hours before sunrise. Crews planned to pack it up when daylight hit.
Friends and fans Olivia Skocz, Kelsey Kane and Sarah Beining couldn't hide their love for the Hollywood actor as they nervously walked onto the set two hours before filming was to begin.
“We want to meet Tom Cruise,” said Beining, 18, of Sewickley.
The friends said they were also hoping to land roles as extras.
“We love him,” said Skocz, 21, of Sewickley. “He’s beautiful.”
“He’s our favorite actor,” added Kane, 20, of Sewickley.
Sewickley Police provided traffic control on Route 65 while dozens of film crew members moved equipment, positioned stunt cars and prepared the set for the shoot. Crew workers hushed onlookers during takes and herded them to far ends of the sidewalks.
Sidewalks around the inn were restricted, as well as a section across the street where a spotlight was positioned in a yard.
Diana Hornyak was curious about the movie shoot that was taking place just around the corner from her Sewickley Manor home. She called neighbor Linda Stumper to see if she’d be interested in walking to the set.
“This is crazy, but do you want to?” Hornyak asked her friend.
“I’ve got my coat on,” Stumper answered.
The two ended up on Boundry Street, trying to pick out Cruise from the dozens of others who moved about the set. The bright new Three Rivers Motel sign glowed in the night, bringing the women back to a time when the Country Inn's restaurant served great food and the motel was open for business.
“It’s hard to believe they’re making a movie right next door,” Hornyak said.
Hornyak said she was more familiar with Cruise’s earlier films, but she'll definitely see “One Shot.”
“He’s a good actor,” she said. “I’ll watch this.” SOURCE

Sewickley gets its 'One Shot' with Tom Cruise Those driving along Route 65 in Sewickley early Friday evening drove by Tom Cruise and probably never knew it.
The actor was at the former Sewickley Country Inn filming scenes for his next flick, "One Shot." The movie has been filming around Pittsburgh throughout the month.
With a large, lit sign rechristening the inn as "Three Rivers Motel," dozens of movie workers turned the former Sewickley motel into a film set for two days.
In the scenes filmed at the former motel Friday night, Cruise was seen exiting one of the motel's rooms and entering a white Mercedes driven by a blond woman. During one take, Cruise yelled to directors and producers that the motel room door would not open.
Neighbor Bridget Brown stood across Route 65 with one of her daughters snapping photos of the celebrity.
"It's pretty awesome," she said while watching the filming.
While Brown hasn't seen Cruise or wife Katie Holmes around Sewickley, she said the movie star waved to onlookers Thursday night before filming scenes.
"We were out last night and he actually pulled up in his Cadillac Escalade and we were all standing right here and he was waving to us," she said. "It was pretty fabulous." SOURCE
