Supergirl shoots scene for Arrowverse 2017 Crossover episode with cast of The Flash and Arrow10/18/2017  THIS BLOG POST IS FOR "SUPERGIRL" SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 "CRISIS ON EARTH X" AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE. If you have not seen the episode, and do not want to see or read possible spoilers about it prior to seeing it, do not continue reading the article or viewing the photos below. . . . last warning . . Last week I caught the crew of Supergirl working on their portion of the 4 episode Arrowverse crossover episode. After some earlier scenes including their cast, they did a scene later in the day wth members of The Flash and Arrow for a scene at a wedding.... but who was getting married? Early in the day, before they started shooting, they had changed the sign at St Andrews Wesley Church to read "ST PAUL LUTHERAN CHURCH" THE WEDDING OF BARRY ALLEN & IRIS WEST CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE" After I tweeted that, they changed the sign literally 10 minutes later, changing Barry Allen & Iris west to be a jumbled mixture of their letters mixed up & some placed upside down. Of course, when they went to go shoot the scenes, they had to change them back anyways.... so dont know why they even bothered. Well, unless youve been disconnected from the internet for the past month or so, you likely already have seen the promotional poster for the cross over event featuring right smack dab in the middle, Barry Allen & Iris West in a wedding ceremony. On this day, they filmed scenes for Barry & Iris ATTEMPTING to get married.... yes, I said attempting. See, this was their first attempt, which gets stopped after an attack by villains. Will they EVER get married?? That answer can be found in this blog post on The Flash blog section. On set for this shoot was The Flash stars Candice Patton as Iris West in her wedding dress, Jesse L Martin as Joe West, and Patrick Sabongui as David Singh. Also on set was Arrow star Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak. So where are the rest of the expectant characters, namely Barry Allen? Probably battling whatever forces are trying to stop this wedding. The scene they shot was Iris, Joe, David & Felicity guiding wedding guests out of the church as flashes of light went off inside the church. They did 3 total takes of the scene, then moved on. After that, they did a stunt running scene with some of the guests where they were pretending to dodge, or get hit by things falling from the sky.

 THIS BLOG POST IS FOR "SUPERGIRL" SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 "CRISIS ON EARTH X" AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE. If you have not seen the episode, and do not want to see or read possible spoilers about it prior to seeing it, do not continue reading the article or viewing the photos below. . . . last warning . . The 2017 Arrowverse crossover episodes, all titled "Crisis On Earth X" have been filming through most of October in Vancouver, and last week I caught up with the Supergirl crew shooting part of their segment of the 4 episode event. On this day, they shot a variety of scenes. In the morning they shot a scene on a roof with a Earth X character named "Overgirl" that I missed due to their scheduling and other commitments I had. When I got there in the early afternoon they were prepping to shoot a scene out in front of the the St. Andrews Wesley Church. The scene sees Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers and Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers having a chat when Legends Of Tomorrow star Caity Lotz as Sara Lance arrives, says a few words to Alex, before going into the church, leaving Kara to tease & grill Alex about the clear flirtatious conversation the pair seemingly had. Its been strongly rumoured the 2 characters may be hooking up in the episode after the very publicly posted departure of Floriana Lima as Maggie Sawyer leaves Alex's love life with a vacancy, much to the growing fanbase of fans who like Maggie & Alex together. After they shot this scene, all 3 actresses wrapped their day there, and left, making way for the production to prepare for their final scenes of the day, on the other side of the church that didnt even have any Supergirl cast in it, as The Flash and Arrow stars were on hand for the shoot, Many of you may already have seen the youtube video I posted of their rehearsal of this scene where Melissa goes a bit off script near the end.

If you have not seen the episode, and do not want to see or read possible spoilers about it prior to seeing it, do not continue reading the article or viewing the photos below. . . . last warning . . Back in August, I found the Supergirl set shooting some scenes in a park in the Coal Harbour area of downtown Vancouver. On set that day when I got there was Katie McGrath, Odette Annable and Mehcad Brooks. The trio were shooting a scene at a stage area set up to look like a press conference. Behind the stage was a large LCorp sign, and scattered throughout the crowd of extras were signs demanding justice/vengeance against LCorp. Directed by Arrowverse regular director, famed comic book legend, and actor Kevin Smith, the scene saw Katie as Lena Luthor step up to the podium with Mehcad as James Olsen and Odette as Reign beside her. Lena then gave a speech where she tells the crowd that she sees their signs, and is going to step down as the head of LCorp, but before the crowd has even a moment to revel in the statement, gun shots ring out and James dives to push Lena to safety, while Reign moves off in the other direction.                                  A bit later we see another scene being shot. This time, Supergirl herself..... errr I mean mild mannered reporter Kara Danvers, is on set. Melissa Benoist joined the trio for the later scenes. In the later scenes, we see Kara standing up in the middle of the crowd while everyone goes fleeing for safety. Meanwhile up on the stage, we find out that James got shot in the arm. they also filmed a quick scene of a girl in a hoodie being apprehended (I'm assuming the shooter?) in the middle of the crowd. During breaks in the latter half of the shooting day, the cast were preoccupied with meeting with a couple little girls from the Make A Wish foundation. While I decided it was not the best time to photograph cast, some of the other photographers there did. I couldnt resist though, a shot of them snapping the clapper board with Melissa during one take. The cast were nothing short of exceptional in how much patience & time they took with the kids. While everyone that goes to sets would expect nothing less from the other 3, I think most of us were all at the least a little surprised to see the usually impossible to get an interaction with Melissa spending so much time with them. It was nice to see her being nice to someone at the set for a change. The girls also got to call rolling once, and got to hang out with Melissa to watch while the others did a scene Melissa wasnt in at that point. Throughout the day, director Kevin Smith went around to crew, and at least twice to the fans watching and handed out Tim Hortons Timbits (for those not from Canada, basically, donut holes).
