CINCINNATI — Interstate 71 South at Lytle Tunnel will be “subject to intermittent periods of closure” Thursday due to a Warner Bros. movie filming in the area, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

ODOT said the closures will be in approximately 15-minute intervals from 4 to 6 p.m. During those times, all southbound lanes will be closed.

While ODOT said the intervals could happen at any time within the two-hour time period, it only expects there to be two intervals.

The Ohio Department of Development announced in February that tax credits for the filming of multiple TV shows and films across the state — including one movie, “Genesis,” nabbing more than $11 million for production in Cleveland and Cincinnati.

Internet sleuths immediately began digging, finding that “Genesis” is believed to be the working title for the upcoming DC Universe movie, “Superman: Legacy.”

WCPO-9′s sister station in Cleveland, WEWS, reported the blog Midwest Movie Maker first published an article, Everything we know about ‘Superman: Legacy’ filming on-location in Cleveland and Cincinnati, citing the tax credits.
