Movie news -- and much more!!!

SPIDER-MAN 3 IN CLEVELAND

Second-unit director Dan Bradley talks to an actress about a scene on Wednesday in Cleveland.

Crowds grew in downtown Cleveland on Wednesday as second-until production of Spider-Man 3 continued on Euclid Avenue.

With the weather far less bitter than Tuesday, curious onlookers line the sidewalks and insides of nearby buildings to watch cars race up and down the street in sychronized fashion.

Among the images below are the unit director and his crew, water trucks used to dampen the street, a car twisting off a crane, more car carnage and New York backgrounds, including a newsstand.

WOLVERINE: ORIGINS UPDATE

Marvel Comics announced on Wednesday that, despite a large overprinting, Wolverine: Origins #1 has sold out at Diamond.

Marvel also announced that the upcoming Wolverine: Origins #2 will feature two covers being shipped in 50/50 quantities. They are by Joe Quesada and Bryan Hitch.

Here's how Marvel describes the second issue, by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon:

"After the events of the first issue, the U.S. government decides to go on the offensive and neutralize Wolverine using a super-soldier of their own in Wolverine: Origins #2. Out of desperation, the powers-that-be resort to using the insane soldier Nuke.

"Having squared off against Daredevil and Captain America in the past, Nuke is just as his name implies: the nuclear option when all others have been exhausted. Which genetically enhanced super-soldier will win out and how exactly are the pasts of Wolverine and Nuke tied together?"

SMALLVILLE ROUNDUP

The WB has released three images from "Vessel," the season finale of Smallville.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"Brainiac (guest-star James Marsters) unleashes a deadly virus, which will kill millions of people, and refuses to give Clark (Tom Welling) the vaccine unless he agrees to release General Zod. Clark turns to Lionel (John Glover), who once again channels Jor-El. Meanwhile, Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) is stunned by his newfound powers and shares the discovery with Lana (Kristin Kreuk), who decides to stand by her new man, unaware of the shocking turn Lex's life is about to take due to Brainiac's evil machinations."

In other Smallville news, Annette O'Toole, who plays Martha Kent, was a guest on the syndicated Tony Danza Show on Tuesday

On Martha being a senator, she said, "It involves going to Metropolis a lot and I get better clothes."

O'Toole said she's become "one of those TV moms."

"When I'm on the subway, which I an a lot, I get recognized so much," she said. "People come over and they are so wonderful to me."
