With the transformation of East Ninth Street, of Cleveland, Ohio, into New York City's 42nd Street underway, for a climatic battle sequence in Marvel Studios'
The Avengers, local
WEWS news team has posted their video coverage. Though not too revealing, the video showcases the transformation's progress, as well reveal an extra's role in the film.
A few additional tidbits I've learned today, though not exciting, include two fire trucks, an Eyewitness News Van and an Ambulance spotted on a carrier truck with "Marvel Film Productions" labeled on it's side; evidently meaning they'll be used for filming. Also, if you have any interesting news or images that you'd like to share, feel free to

Anyhow, filming for this "epic battle" is said to begin Aug. 15, and the superhero ensemble flick is said to film interior shots in the Ameritrust Bank building, where
Spider-Man 3 was also filmed.
