Huesario.

Smallville (CW) Cuando la When CW movió a Smallville de los Jueves a los Viernes, parecía que podía ser el final de esta fiable interpretación. Ciertamente Smallville no parecía encajar bien con las retorcidas series adolescentes que la cadena estaba contando, tales como The Vampire Diaries. Entonces algo extraño y maravilloso ocurrió: aparentemente los fans no estaban preparados para dejar morir a Smallville. Los productores siguen haciendo un buen trabajo creativo, y la serie finalmente le ha dado rátings de audiencia a la CW los Viernes por la noche. Mientras que Smallville no ha tenido una renovación temprana como Vampire Diaries o Supernatural, las cosas pintan muy bien para una 10ª temporada, con Super Clark y sus amigos. Y por cierto, no os sorprendáis si consigue otra temporada y vemos una o dos películas adicionales de Smallville bajo el título de Absolute Justice.

Los comentarios de "Media Week's Marc Berman": "Aunque Smallville, por supuesto, ha bajado con respecto a su anterior emisión de los Jueves, es improbable que nada más pudiera funcionar mejor para la CW en el problemático Viernes."

Oportunidades de renovación: 90%

The Superman Homepage ha sido informado de que Brian Doherty, quien acaba de ser este mes promocionado a supervisor, en las ventas nacionales, en la CW ha revelado que los ejecutivos de la CW están excitados con una 10ª temporada de "Smallville", y que quieren realmente "salir a lo grande".

Lo que se dice es que están intentando cerrar un trato con Michael Rosenbaum para que regrese Lex Luthor, y que quieren que firme por al menos 9 ó 10 episodios.

Aparentemente un anuncio será hecho de una manera u otra muy pronto.

March 17, 2010: "Smallville" Actors to Appear at 2010 Superman Celebration

Smallville actors, Vandervoort and Witwer, and Noel Neill to appear at 32nd annual Metropolis Superman Celebration

The second weekend in June is devoted to the legendary character that stands for "Truth, Justice and the American Way" each year in Metropolis, Illinois. But Superman is always kind enough to share the spotlight with a few other celebrities.

Special guests have just been confirmed as headliners of the 32nd annual Superman Celebration June 10-13. Smallville fans will be excited to see this year's celebrity line-up.

Laura Vandervoort, who portrays Supergirl/Kara and Sam Witwer, also known as Doomsday, will be the Smallville actors headlining this year's Celebration. And, the "First Lady of Metropolis" Noel Neill, is scheduled to make a return trip to the festival. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the celebrities in person at autograph and question and answer sessions.

Laura Vandervoort Laura Dianne Vandervoort landed the coveted role of Kara, the cousin of Clark Kent on the hit CW series Smallville, playing the role of Supergirl where she became a main focus of the seventh season.

Following her stint as a regular on Smallville, Vandervoort acted in the pilot for ABC's new series V. The pilot was picked up and she began shooting in August 2009 for the TV series which debuted in November.

Vandervoort was born in 1984 in Toronto, Canada and begin acting at the age of 13. A tomboy for years, she was involved in several sports and earned a second degree Black Belt by the age of 16. After taking several classes and doing background work on Canadian shows such as Road to Avonlea and Harriet the Spy she got her first speaking role in Canadian children's series Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?

After commercials and guest stars in Mutant-X, Prom Queen, Twice in a Lifetime, Doc, Sue Thomas FBI, Troubled Waters, Dresdan Files and a few Disney movies of the week, she landed the lead role of Sadie Harrison on the CTV TV series Instant Star.

In 2006 Laura shot her first feature titled The Lookout with Jeff Daniels. Several of her TV appearances, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, led Laura into the hands of the CW network and Smallville. Following Smallville, Laura shot the sequel to the feature film Into The Blue titled Into the Blue 2: The Reef. Following The Reef, Laura went directly into filming an independent production titled The Jazzman and then a TV movie titled Out of Control. Since shooting a gritty independent film, Damage, Laura shot a science fiction miniseries, the SyFy channel's relaunching of Philip José Farmer's Riverworld.

Sam Witwer Sam Witwer grew up in Glenview, Illinois, outside of Chicago. He attended Glenbrook South High School, where he was involved in drama and theater
classes, as well as being the lead singer
of a high school band. He attended the Julliard School of Drama before heading to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. His first major film role was as Wayne Jessup in The Mist.

In 2008, Witwer was cast to play Doomsday, the new rival of Superman on Smallville's eighth season after Michael Rosenbaum, who played the superhero's arch-enemy, Lex Luthor, left the show. He is also known to audiences for his recurring roles as Lieutenant Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo on the popular series Battlestar Galactica and Neil Perry on the Showtime series Dexter. A sci-fi fan growing up, he was happy to have landed a minor guest roll on Star Trek: Enterprise. His other television credits include guest appearances on Bones, Star Trek: New Voyages, Navy NCIS, Dragnet, Cold Case, TAG, and ER.

A lifetime Star Wars fan, Sam appeared as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller/Galen Marek and as Darth Sidious, in the massively successful multimedia project Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Witwer provided both his voice and likeness to the lead characters across all of the mediums. He reprised his role as Galen Marek in the video game: Soulcalibur IV. There is also speculation that he will reprise his role of Starkiller for the Star Wars live-action TV series.

Witwer says that his first love is music and he is consequently the lead singer of his own band, The Crashtones. The bank released its first CD entitled "Colourful of the Stereo" in 2006. Witwer has since assembled a live line-up consisting of professional musicians and others in the industry, including Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton, with whom he performs whenever time allows.

Noel Neill Though she first played Lois Lane in the 1948 movie serial, Superman, with Kirk Alyn, Noel Neill is best known for playing the iconic character on television in The Adventures of Superman with beloved legendary actor George Reeves from 1953 to 1957. So identified is she with this role that her portrayal of the "girl reporter" set the standard for all Lois Lanes to follow.

Metropolis has become such a fan of Neill that the Chamber of Commerce will unveil a statue of her likeness on the second day of the Superman Celebration. Engraved bricks are currently being sold for the base that will hold the life-size sculpture of the actress.

With the unveiling planned for June 11, final engraving orders are needed at the monument company very soon. A deadline of April 16 has been set for ordering engraved bricks guaranteed to be in place for the unveiling. More information about the statue and a brick order form can be found at http://www.noelneillstatue.com. Orders may also be placed by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 618-524-2714 or emailing metrochamber@verizon.net.

The Superman Celebration is a long standing festival and a must see event for most anyone, especially comic lovers. Superman fans travel from all over the globe to visit the small southern Illinois town that is the Official Home of Superman.

Metropolis features a 15-foot bronze statue of the Man of Steel and a Super Museum located on the town's Superman Square. A life-size statue of Noel Neill will grace the landscape soon. There are other interesting super-hero related attractions located throughout the city, such as a giant rock of kryptonite. Complete with an Artist's Alley, Man of Steel exhibitions and contests, amusement park, live music and $1000 Superhero Costume Contest, the Superman Celebration provides fun for the entire family.

• and Michael [Ironside] back on the show.
  
  There’s so many characters coming back that you can’t help but notice that so far we haven’t heard about Martha Kent or Perry White or Pete. Are there still people you hope will come back or are you like, “We’ve got everyone we want”?
  
  Souders: The season’s still evolving. And we love all of them, so we do hope that other people that aren’t quite in place yet will be coming back.
  
  Unfortunately, Allison Mack’s only in five episodes this season.
  
  Peterson: You’ll see her presence, I think, a little bit more than that even though Allison’s only in five. She has a pretty decent storyline even when she’s not on screen.
  
  What does her departure mean for Watchtower and that crime-fighting league?
  
  Souders: Her absence is greatly felt. That becomes very apparent by the end of episode two. But what she created there is something that will live on forever. Like Brian was saying, there’s always a presence of Chloe. We’ve been working with Allison on some of her storylines for when she comes back, which we’re really looking forward to. We’re about to start writing some of those. It’ll be wonderful to have her back on the show for a little bit.
  
  Has it been hard saying goodbye to all these original cast members over the years, creatively and personally?
  
  Peterson: I think absolutely because we’ve become friends with them as we work with them. But also, we’ve seen how they’ve been so dedicated to the show, yet have wanted to go off and explore other areas of their careers. It’s really encouraging to see that somebody like Allison is willing to come back and finish up the show the way it should be while still pursuing her dream.
  
  And what does Chloe’s departure mean for Oliver? How’s it going to affect their relationship?
  
  Souders: Oliver, as fans can attest to, is madly in love with her, so he’s completely heartbroken by it. When she comes back, it’s going to be a real change in his life. I think she meant something to him that he hadn’t had in his life in a long time. Her absence is keenly felt in his world.
  
  Peterson: It propels him into a pretty major decision.
  
  The final season brings another big milestone: the 200th episode. What can you tease about that episode?
  
  Peterson: Wow. [Pauses] There’s almost so many great moments, it’s hard to tease any one of them. The one thing that we can tease is that it’s the return of Brainiac in the form of Brainiac 5 (James Marsters), a way we’ve never seen him on the show. He will play a really major role in Clark’s life in that episode.
  
  Souders: He actually kind of helps to change Clark forever, helps him get over a few obstacles he’s been wrestling with up till now. Part of doing that will allow the audience to see some old, familiar faces.

• interpretando a Lucy. Son divertidos, y fabulosos, y Clark consigue otra ventana hacia por qué Lois es quien es.
  
  ¿Cuál fue tu reacción al saber que Teri Hatcher interpretaría a tu madre en "Abandoned?"
  
  Cuando descubrí que Teri Hatcher iba a interpretar a mi madre, rompí a llorar en mitad de una escena muy cómica. Me dijeron "contrólate". Tuve mi momento fan. estoy tan agradecida de que ella haya querido ser parte de esto.
  
  ¿Estás emocionalmente preparada para que la serie termine el año que viene?
  
  No he pensado en ello. No creo que puedas estar nunca emocionalmente preparado para algo en lo que has invertido tanto de tí mismo. Para mí, han sido siete años, pero es sólo el camino de la vida, y es genial salir por todo lo alto con grandes historias y un gran arco. Es agridulce.

Erica: I believe that this tenth season is going to be our best yet, and it's because the writers are unbridled. They are able to really explore this mythology, and go for it, and go out with a bang. And I know the fans will like it.

Space: Why do you think that the Lois and Clark relationship is so timeless and so compelling?

Erica: Hmm. Because I think it's the perfect partnership. She is the human version of his - his superpowered version. She also believes in the same things he does, and she'll do anything to get that, and she'll do anything to support him. And it's just this - it is, it's an idealistic relationship, partnership, and I think that's what people look up to, and that's why they embrace that whole mythology. And yeah. So I love being a part of it, I love supporting that, it's just been thrilling.

Space: It's really undeniable that Tom Welling is a very special actor and has a very special claim on the character of Clark. What do you think it is about Tom - what do you feel he brings to the role?

Erica: He just brings himself to it. He's an incredible person, he's incredibly gifted, and it's been a blessing to work with him.

Space: What would you like to say to the fans who've supported you for all of these years?

Erica: Thank you, so much. Thank you for embracing me, we wouldn't be here without you, and I hope love what ends up happening this year with it

lildragon: Well, I was just channel surfing and I just so happened to stop on E News and Kristin was on giving spoilers for tv shows and at the tail end she said something to the effect of, "find out who Tom Welling will become engaged to on tv.'' So, there you go, engagement!!

superliz6: At this point its not really a spoiler, but my friend works at E! and she called me today to say that Lois and Clark were getting engaged.

@Mikefalco; hi Mike will you come back to Smallville as your wife?can't wait to see you again!
@smallvilleph: Looking forward to that! Hopefully we'll get more Perry-Lois scenes.
@MJMcKean: Yep.

¿Puedes describirnos cómo te metiste en la cabeza del Dr. Emil Hamilton? ¿Cómo lo ves como personaje? ¿Averiguaste sobre él en la mitología de Supermán antes de acapetar el papel?
Mi primo que es coleccionista de cómics e prestó unos cuantos cómics en los que aparecía Emil. No sé si eran particularmente relevantes para la serie pero sigue siendo genial el conseguir algún contexto sobre dónde va el personaje a encajar finalmente en el universo de DC. Desde la primera aparición de Emil, Tom (Welling) quería crear una impresión distinta de que Emil tenía una vida ocupada y llena fuera de ‘la serie’. Lo veo como a alguien ligeramente mayor, una figra de mentor para Clark, quien ahora se ha transformado en un verdadero aliado y en alguien de confianza.

¿Cuáles son tus cosas favoritas de interpretar al Dr. Hamilton? ¿Cuáles han sido tus mayores retos a la hora de interpretarle?
Tanto las cosas favoritas como los mayores retos como Emil aún no se han emitido. Pero lo serán en el nuevo año. ¡Cuando lo veáis será completamente obvio!

Conseguiste participar en la increíble película de SMALLVILLE “Absolute Justice;” ¿Cómo es el trabajar con Tom Welling como director?
Como mencioné antes, Tom ha estado muy involucrado con mi personaje desde el principio. Así es que tenerle como director es un lujo.
