Smallville returned to the Comic-Con International in San Diego today (July 28), and if the enthusiasm and excitement in the room was any sign, this is going to be a fantastic season.
[Be warned, spoilers may be below.]
The panel started with a screening of clips from the show's first six seasons. Reminiscent of the excellently-edited "Previously On..."s that we see before season finales, this selection of clips was amazing.
The biggest highlight of the clipfest was seeing Clark flying (from "Crusade") with the words of Christopher Reeve's Dr. Swann in voiceover. It gave chills in the same way "Marlon Brando as Jor-El in the Superman Returns trailer" did.
Then, the clipfest went into some clips from the Season 7 premiere and possibly beyond. We see Lionel washed ashore in some way. An angelic-looking, flying Kara surrounded by white light. Chloe being zipped up but then waking up from the gurney in the morgue. More Clark vs. Bizarro. Kara in the Daily Planet (or was it the Talon? I can't remember..) This was the first view of Season 7 for fans and it was great.
It seemed that when the clips were shown, the characters of Lois and Oliver got huge responses (maybe from being popular, or maybe because the actors were present). There was a scream of "oh no!" when Chloe was seen dead on the table, but again, that won't stick. (Read some season 7 spoilers)
The guests of the panel included series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, plus actors Erica Durance (Lois), Phil Morris (John Jones), and Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/The Green Arrow). Also joining them was Laura Vandervoort, who will be playing Clark's Kryptonian cousin, Kara Zor-El, in Season 7.
From the brief clips shown, and Vandervoort's general enthusiasm, look, and demeanor, she is going to be PERFECT for the role of Kara. I think... or hope... that her addition will revitalize the show in a similar way to how James Marsters changed things up in Season 5.
Al Gough revealed that Dean Cain will be appearing in the season's fourth episode, as a villain (Read more on that). Also, Justin Hartley will be returning as Green Arrow in the middle of the season.
Phil Morris shared his own enthusiasm and fandom, revealing that he had spent several hours on the convention floor himself earlier in the day. Morris, by the way, will be returning for several episodes this Fall.
The fate of Lana is still unsaid, although Laura Vandervoort she hadn't gotten to work with Kristin... "yet." Why would she say "yet" if Lana is dead, hmm?
Saddening some fans who wanted to ask about it, Al and Miles reiterated that they still can't use Batman, though they ask if they can use Wonder Woman every year. One of the times that it was said that they could not get Bruce Wayne, there was booing from the audience.
The first 15 fans asking questions got free t-shirts. (Can I have one?)
Someone commented on the chemistry between Lois and Ollie, and they asked Erica and Justin how they prepare for a romantic scene. They both made mention of their respective spouses. (David Palffy and Lindsay Hartley were both in the audience).
Justin Hartley proved himself to be a huge geek, revealing his two favorite Smallville moments. One, was having Green Arrow shooting at the, what Justin called a "soda pop can" (how Midwest!)... and the other, just the general meteor-flying-before-the-logo "Somebody Saaaaaaaaaaaaave Me!" Seriously, why doesn't this guy have his own show?
Phil Morris said his favorite Smallville moment came at the end of "Labyrinth."
Al told the audience that Michael Rosenbaum wanted to be at the Con but he recently had a back surgery and was unable to make it. Get well soon, Michael!
Another revelation at the Con was that new Smallville action figures are coming next year, and singular-colored prototypes were seen. Scheduled for release are Clark, Oliver Queen, Aquaman, Bart Allen, Cyborg, and Bizarro.
All in all, it was a very successful panel. I know this sounds like a lot of gushing and kissing it up but this level of excitement for something Smallville has not been in a gathered place like that for a few years.
[Additional note: KryptonSite's Craig Byrne participated in a very brief press junket/conference with some of the guests. Look for some of that late Saturday night or on Sunday.]
No lo voy a traducir literal (excepto cosas muy interesantes), porqe no se me da muy bien, y os voy ha decir las ideas generales e importantes del texto: (anotaciones mias en rojo)
- La presentación de smallville en la Comic-Con empieza con un video-montaje de varios clips de las seis temporadas, perfectamente montados y al final de los clips, ponen un adelanto de la septima temporada:
Then, the clipfest went into some clips from the Season 7 premiere and possibly beyond. We see Lionel washed ashore in some way. An angelic-looking, flying Kara surrounded by white light. Chloe being zipped up but then waking up from the gurney in the morgue. More Clark vs. Bizarro. Kara in the Daily Planet (or was it the Talon? I can't remember..) This was the first view of Season 7 for fans and it was great.
traduccion:
Despues, aparecieron clips de la premier dela septima tmeporada y puede que de despues (capitulos despues). vemos que lionel ¿se lavó en tierra de algun modo? (esto no lo pillo). Una Kara de mirada angelical volando rodeada de una luz blanca. Chloe cerrada con cremallera (en una bolsa de cadaveres se supone) y despertandose en una camilla de la morgue. Más Clark vs Bizarro. y kara en el daily planet (o en el talon? no lo recuerdo...). Este fue el primer vistazo de los fans a la temporada 7 y fue genial.
- Estuvieron alli phil Morris (Martian manhunter), Justin harley (gren arrow/ oliver queen), erica durance (lois lane), Laura vandervoort (kara zor-el) y los creadore sd ela serie alfred gugh y miles millar.
- Al Gough revelo que DEAN CAIN ESTRÁ EN EL CAPITULO 4 DE LASEPTIMA TEMPORADA, LLAMADO "CURE", su papel será de villano y será el doctor Curtis Knox, el cual tiene el tlaento, de poder "curar" a los frikis del meteorito, y eso le interesa mucho a Chloe.
Knox trabaja con Lex Luthor y pued euqe tenga que ver con el nivel 33.1.
Prestar atencion a las iniciales de Curtis knox:
Info original:
Dean will be appearing in the seventh season's fourth episode, "Cure," playing a doctor who we think is named Curtis Knox.
The possibly-villainous Dr. Knox has a special talent - he can "cure" someone from being a "meteor freak," forever changing their lives and rehabilitating them. This news, of course, is of special interest to Chloe. But Dr. Knox may have yet another secret which may mean his deeds aren't necessarily that good.
Dr. Knox is working for or with Lex Luthor, so expect some scenes between Dean and Michael Rosenbaum. He might also tie into the over-arcing Level 33.1 story.
Pay close attention to the initials of Curtis Knox, by the way.
Though this isn't the Son of Swann, this could be one heck of an episode. Look for "Cure" to air in October.
- Green arrow volverá a aparecer en varios cpaitulos de la mitad de la septima temporada. Con el veremos ala JLA y pued eque con algun miembro nuevo. Erica Durance ha dejado caer que Lois no estara precisamente contenta con la vuelta de Oliver. más detalles está noche.
info original:
Tonight at the Comic-Con International in San Diego, it was revealed that Justin Hartley will be returning to Smallville for multiple episodes at the middle of the current season.
Expect some of his Justice League pals to show up this time - some that we've seen before, and perhaps some that would be new to Smallville.
Also, Erica Durance has hinted at a press junket before the panel that Lois might not necessarily be happy to see him. Stay tuned to K-Site later tonight for more details on that.
- Phil Morris compartio su entusiamo, y dijo que habia estado bastate tiempo antes por la convencion. volver aen varios capitulos de esta temporada como martian manhunter.
- El destino de Lana no está claro, Laura vandervoort, dijo que no ha trabajado con kristin...aun.
- Al y mile shan dicho que no pueden usar a Batman, aunque se preguntan si pueden usar a Wonder Woman ¿cada año? (esto tampoco lo pillo). Ademas una de la veces que dijeron que no podian usar a Bruce wayne, los fans abuchearon (aber si asi, los de DC les dejan d euna vez usar a batman)
- tambien preguntaron por la quimica entre lois y oliver, y les preguntaron a los actores que como preparaban las escenas romanticas. ambos mencionaron a sus actuales parejas.
- justin dijo sus momentos favoritos de smallville, uno en el uqe dispara auna lata de gaseosa (supongo que sera la escena donde da a la anilla) y otro cuando un meteorito rompe el cartekl de smallvile y suena "Save me". Phil Morris dijo que su momento favorito es el final del "Labyrinht".
-Al dijo que michael rosembaum (lex) queiso asistir a la comic-con, pero por una operacion en la espalda y no pudo ir.
- Tambien se revelo la venta de una nuevas figura de accion para el proximo año, de Clark, Ciborg, Oliver queen, aquaman, Bart y Bizarro.
Bueno todo tiene muy buena pinta está temporada promete y mucho, la unica decpcion, es que todavia los de DC siguan sin dejar apoarecer a Batman.
Por l odemas todo pinta genial, haber si se puede conseguir ese video que les pusieron en la Comic-con de la septima temporada...
Bueno y solo decir, que si alguien se anima, que traduzca todo y asi tal vez nos enteremos de algun detalle curioso más.
