Another movie being made in the Pittsburgh area will start shooting Monday.

"Shannon's Rainbow" is a family film about the rehabilitation of a racehorse, starring such actors as Claire Forlani, Julianne Michelle, Daryl Hannah, Charles Durning, Steve Guttenberg, George Lopez and Michael Madsen.

Filming starts at Ohio Valley General Hospital in Kennedy Township, Allegheny County.

The majority of the action will take place at the Meadows racetrack in North Strabane and other nearby locations in Washington County.

Writer and producer John Mowod said he fought hard to make sure the movie would be shot in his hometown.

"Everybody wanted to move it somewhere else -- New York, New Mexico, Illinois -- but we fought the good fight, and here we are in Pittsburgh and we are going to do the whole thing in Pittsburgh," he said.
