	William Shatner's 'Invasion Iowa' Proves to Be TV's Most Elaborate Hoax Ever
		New Reality Series to Be Telecast on Spike TV in 2005 RIVERSIDE, Iowa, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmy Award(R)-winning actor William Shatner revealed Tuesday that "Invasion Iowa," the independent science fiction time-travel film he purportedly wrote, directed, produced, and starred in on location in Riverside, Iowa, is actually a fake.
		"Invasion Iowa" creators and executive producers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and William Shatner chose the city of Riverside, population 978, in large part for its status as the "future birthplace" of Shatner's legendary "Star Trek" character, Captain (later Admiral) James T. Kirk, who was born in the quaint Midwestern farming community on March 22, 2228.
		The "Invasion Iowa" cast and crew spent ten days in town, shooting at various locations, including Downtown Riverside, Murphy's Bar & Grill, Sojka Farms, Delgato's restaurant and St. Mary's Church, and brought in nearly a million dollars to the local economy.

		Not only was the premiere of Invasion Iowa scheduled against some of the highest rated shows on the major networks, but it was also being presented over four consecutive nights, denying the series any opportunity to create a stir and build an audience.
		It's a shame because, judging from the first episode, Invasion Iowa is a refreshing, funny and surprisingly heartwarming show that deserved to be a success.
		Shatner says in the first installment of Invasion Iowa, you can't help but get involved with the people of Riverside, to be touched by them and laugh with them - not at them.

		When Kane would later find out that Shatner’s "Invasion Iowa" was not a movie and actually a reality TV stunt, he was relieved: "I was so happy for the people of Riverside that they would not end up in some corny, straight to DVD sci-fi flick.
		Kane disagrees: "The 'Invasion Iowa' movie may be a fake, but the personal relationships and bonding between William Shatner, his TV crew and the people of Riverside are genuine.

		But "Iowa" adds insult to injury by having Shatner pontificate about the wonderfulness of his victims and how badly he feels about his ruse.

		Spike TV made just the first two episodes of "Invasion Iowa" available for review, but it seems inevitable that the series will end up as a big valentine to Midwestern values, especially when the truth is revealed in Friday's April Fools' Day finale.
		In both editions of "Joe Schmo," executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick plucked a schmo from obscurity, locked him or her in a house and made the schmo think he or she was on a reality show.
		Rather than sequestering the cast in an opulent house, the makers of "Invasion Iowa" must work within the strictures of a small community, limiting their control of situations.

		Kudos, though, go to Shatner for not being mean spirited in his "Invasion." He could have made these folks look foolish.

		Bill and his phony entourage, comprised of a zany cast of characters, descended upon this idyllic small town in rural America early last September and told the townspeople that they were there to film Billâs passion project, a science fiction film that he wrote 30 years ago with friend and Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy.
		Bill and the rest of the LA-based cast had to play double duty running lines and filming scenes for their fake Invasion Iowa movie all the while advancing the âplot.â But the real magic came into play when the townspeople were added into the mix.
		When it came time to break the news to the townspeople that Invasion Iowa was not Billâs passion project, that the movie was a cover for the fact that they were filming a reality show spoofing Hollywood, Riverside residents took it well.

	Super duper
		Turns out that in Riverside, Iowa, you can fool all of the people almost all of the time, as long as you've got movie cameras pointed at them and William Shatner at your side.
		Thus, Invasion Iowa plays out as a kind of cruel joke, albeit one in which the victims were at least in part asking for it, and another goofball twist in Shatner's curious, fascinating career.
		When Invasion Iowa takes its place alongside Temptation Island and Joe Millionaire in the all-but-forgotten reality-show file and the people of Riverside go back to their workaday lives, Shatner will still be out there, playing some other version of himself, real or not.
