Back in March we announced that a 2nd unit film crew was heading out to Cleveland to do some filming for Spider-Man 3. According to the report, Cleveland looked a lot like New York thanks to its skylines and the city quickly became the better option.
Throw in the fact that the city was going to allow Columbia Pictures to use the convention center as a sound stage and everything seemed perfect.
However, the area where the 2nd unit was looking to shoot needed a bit of cleaning up; and a touch of pinash for that matter.
Spider-Man 3 in Cleveland
According to Cleveland.Com, the 2nd Unit for Spider-Man 3 are working to clean up and upgrade Euclid Avenue in order to brighten up the area for filming.
A Madison-Avenue-style remake of Euclid Avenue could help a local group brightening vacant store windows with local art.
The crew of "Spider-Man 3" will scrub several blocks of Euclid Avenue east of Tower City, said Kate O'Neil, a film producer who in December jump-started the arts group Exhibit: Cleveland. Workers will pressure-wash building exteriors and windows, light storefronts and fill them with colorful paintings and sculptures from mostly local artists, she said.
"It's an amazing benefit for the city," O'Neil said. "Euclid Avenue will be left looking better than it does now."
Sony Pictures will film part of "Spider-Man 3" in the city this week, and Euclid Avenue will become a New York City street scene.
