Did you know that Heroes is filming right now? Yup, they're filming episodes for the third season (after a strike-shortened second season) this weekend in downtown Los Angeles.

BlogDowntown.com has a picture of a mural on a wall near an alley called Frank Court, which is between Spring and Broadway streets. No word on how the painting figures into the plot, but it does seem to show the Earth exploding, which is one step up from the painting that showed New York City exploding in the first season. BlogDowntown also says that the scenes being shot will also involve a car chase and gunfire.

I want to know what they're going to do with this painting once filming is done. Wash it off? Reproduce it someplace else? Just take photos of it? Tear down the wall and auction it for charity?

No word on which cast members will be involved in the filming, if any.
