Alright, listen up, y’all. They’re makin’ a new Superman movie, right here in Cleveland. Can ya believe it? Some fella in a cape flyin’ around, pretendin’ to save the world. Heh, reminds me of my grandson playin’ in the backyard with his towel tied ’round his neck.
Filmin’ that Superman Movie, Right Here in Our Town!
They say it’s gonna be a big deal, this movie. Comin’ out next summer, 2025 they say. Guess we’ll see if it’s any good. They been shootin’ it here for a good while now, weeks I reckon. Messin’ up the roads somethin’ fierce. Lakeside Avenue, closed down. Can’t get nowhere without goin’ all around Robin Hood’s barn.
Heard tell they call him the “Man of Steel.” Steel, huh? Like my old cast iron skillet. That thing’s lasted longer than most marriages ’round here, I tell ya. Anyways, this Superman fella, he’s supposed to be somethin’ special. Stronger than an ox, faster than a greased pig, and can fly, too. Wish I could fly. Would save my old bones a lot of achin’ climbin’ these stairs.
They got the whole downtown lookin’ different. Callin’ it “Metropolis” now. Fancy name for a city, if you ask me. They even changed that baseball field, where the fellas play ball. Progressive Field, they call it. Now it’s somethin’ called “Metropolis Meteors.” Sounds like a bunch of rocks fallin’ outta the sky if you ask me. But hey, that’s show biz for ya
- They’re filming it all over Cleveland
- Lots of roads closed because of the filming
- They changed the baseball field for the movie
My neighbor, Gladys, she says she saw ’em filmin’ the other day. Said there was a bunch of people standin’ around, lookin’ up at the sky. Probably waitin’ for that Superman fella to come flyin’ by. Gladys, she’s got eyes like a hawk, she does. Sees everything.
Big Money and Jobs, They Say
Heard on the radio they’re spendin’ a whole lot of money on this movie. Millions and millions, they said. Eleven million just for filmin’ here in Ohio, they said. And all kinda jobs, too. Thousands of ’em. Some in Cleveland, some in that Cincinnati place down south. My nephew, Billy, he’s been tryin’ to get a job on the set. Says he can hold a boom mic or somethin’. Good for him, I say. Keeps him outta trouble.
They say this Superman fella is gonna be here a while. Filmin’ for over 200 days, somethin’ like that. That’s a long time to be makin’ a movie. Guess they gotta get it just right. Hope they don’t forget about us regular folks while they’re busy makin’ their fancy movie.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it. They’re makin’ a Superman movie here, spendin’ lots of money, and closin’ down the roads. Maybe I’ll go see it when it comes out, just to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe I’ll even see Gladys in the background, starin’ up at the sky. Heh, wouldn’t that be somethin’? But for now, I gotta go make supper. Got some potatoes to peel and a chicken to fry. Superman or no Superman, folks gotta eat.
Downtown Cleveland Turns into Metropolis
It’s funny seein’ our town all dressed up like some other place. Downtown Cleveland lookin’ like a whole different city. Metropolis, they call it. Just a bunch of buildings to me, but what do I know? They got all sorts of fancy lights and cameras and people runnin’ around. It’s a real hullabaloo, that’s for sure. My grandson took some pictures, but they’re all blurry. Kids these days, always fiddlin’ with them phones.
Well, that’s all I got to say about this Superman movie. Hope it’s worth all the trouble. And I hope they fix them roads soon. My old car ain’t built for all this bumpin’ around.
Superman is Cleveland’s Man of Steel!
Yep, that’s right our very own city is hosting the “Man of Steel”. This here fella is quite something and it’s really a sight to see. So, if you’re near by, come on down. You can catch a sneak peak. If you’re lucky, you might see him fly by.
