Jen Aniston film disrupts Florida newsroom

Remember how Jennifer Aniston couldn't be in Seattle a couple weeks ago to film location shots for the romantic drama "Traveling" because she's in Miami filming "Marley and Me?"

Well here's an interesting little sidebar ... This week "Marley and Me" began shooting in the newsroom of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, where more than 100 cast and crew are already mulling about, making it hard for reporters to get any work done while Owen Wilson, Alan Arkin and "Grey's Anatomy's" Eric Dane shoot scenes in the paper's redecorated Florida office.

These poor, poor journalists. Here's a funny take from a Sun-Sentinel blog. And here's a bit from Bob Norman's Daily Pulp blog:

"If big news breaks today, we're screwed," one newsroom staffer told me. "They are starting and stopping filming continuously. It's just pissing me off. They are telling people to be quiet, asking everyone to keep it down. Security is everywhere. It's not as disruptive as a hurricane, but pretty disruptive."

"Marley and Me" is a based on a memoir by John Grogan, a former Sentinel columnist played by Wilson in the movie.
