Huge Fireballs Rock The Set Of The Avengers In Parma, Ohio!

Nothing too revealing here (keep your fingers crossed for more photos from the set featuring the cast later today) but check out the following report from The Avengers shoot in Parma, featuring the huge fireballs we've heard so much about these past few weeks courtesy of Fox 8 Cleveland.

"Oh, gosh. The first day I was out here, I was here from 11 to 6 p.m.," said Molly Miller, of Olmsted Falls. "I know that's a long time. But I'm waiting to see the explosions for 'The Avengers.'"

Miller is one of hundreds of fans hoping to capture part of an epic battle scene: explosions at the former Chevrolet Powertrain building in Parma.

"They got this big crane, and they have something rigged to it to where they have to bring it up in the air," said John Rusko of Parma.

A series of explosions errupted from a box lifted on the crane, shooting fireballs 30 feet in the air.

"It was amazing to see," said Joey Laumer of North Olmsted. "So it was really cool to see the equipment and what really Hollywood is all about. This is, so far, my favorite movie ever because I've been able to see the filming of it."

The blasts on the ground and in the air were staggered throughout the day, leaving fans hours of downtime between shots.

"It was great, actually," Miller said. "I made a lot of new friends. We just talk the whole time and wait around just to see the explosion. Definitely worth the time."

Funny to see folks in lawn chairs like they're waiting for fireworks. Oh wait...

I wonder how many Ohio-ans who've never picked up a comic book in their life may become geeky Avengers fans?

Is that a girl or a woman? The one with the high pitched/squeaky voice. I cant for the life of me tell. Shes got the voice and mannerisms of a 13 year old, but the face of a 45 year old. She looks like one of the inbred hill billies from Deliverance.

ps. it might say in the video but I couldnt bare to look at her so just skipped through.

I like how it's her favorite movie because she saw them filming it. Well they filmed part of "Texasville" in my home town and I was able to see some of the filming and still think that movie sucks. Mainly because it is just life in a small Texas town.........which is frickin boring!

On the other hand I don't think The Avengers will be much like Texasville at all.......cuz it's gonna kick ass Boys!!!!...and Ladies.

So pissed I missed out on this. They were supposed to do it on Wednesday, but then postponed it to the next day. And I had to work.

I'll be in Cleveland on business for the next couple of days. Any ideas on where I should wander to catch a bit of the action?
