You Have Been... April Fooled!

I think most readers of KryptonSite should be used to this by now...

Either way, as far as I know, none of the headlines or articles on the KryptonSite News Page today were or are accurate. No announcement has been made about Episode #200; Bridget Regan won't be appearing as Diana Prince (but wouldn't that be AWESOME?); No plans yet for Tom on Michael's sitcom; Batgirl continues; Season 11 isn't a done deal; and saddest for me... no plans for a Season 8 companion book, though I'd love to write one.

Additionally, the list of Season 10 titles is completely fabricated. Last year's list sadly had only one title of the 22 correct (that would be "Kandor"); will this year's be more accurate?

In past years, SOME April Fool's gags have come true, by coincidence. These include:

2002 - Lana's Parents Return (happened in "Void"); Chloe Sullivan Is Lois Lane (sort of happened, in "Delete" and "Hex")
2003 - Ian Somerhalder To Guest Star As Bruce Wayne (he didn't, but he did play "Adam Knight"); Chloe To Get A Spin-Off (do the Chloe Chronicles count?)
2004 - Who's Going article with a picture of Pete; Mr. Mxyzptlk Coming To Smallville (happened in "Jinx"); Lexana: It's Real (see Season 6)
2005 - Gough & Millar Prepare Young Aquaman Pilot (seriously, I didn't know!); Dean Cain on Smallville (happened in "Cure")
2006 - Christopher Eccleston To Appear As Zod (so it wasn't Eccleston, but Zod did show in Season 9); "Bizarro" Is Coming (it happened!); Justin Hartley To Guest In Season 6 As Aquaman (so he showed up as Green Arrow instead)
2007 - Smallville Returns To The WB (TheWB.com now exists!); Tom Welling Signs Through Season 9 (if only we knew...); Clark's Kryptonian Mother Lara To Appear (she did, but with a different actress than we suggested) Season 7 accurate predicted titles included "Bizarro" and "Kara."
2008 - Rosenbaum Out For Season 8 (why did that one have to be true?); "Legion" listed as a predicted Season 8 episode title
2009 - Annette O'Toole Returning (it happens this year!); The BBC Plans Their Own Version Of Smallville (have you SEEN Merlin?)

Special thanks goes out to Nerf from the Shadowtales forum for the Season 8 companion graphic.

Were you fooled? Probably not, but talk about it on the KryptonSite Forum, anyway. :) I'd love some feedback... and don't worry, KryptonSite will be back to normal tomorrow, just in time for a NEW episode! - Craig

SMALLVILLE PICKED UP FOR ANOTHER SEASON!

Here's the press release:

The CW Network has announced that its hit series “Smallville” will return in the fall of 2010 for a momentous tenth season.

“Smallville,” a modern retelling of the Superman legend, stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent. The series moved to Friday nights this season, where it currently ranks as network television’s #1 show in its time period among men 18-34 and men 18-49. Additionally, “Smallville” has dramatically improved The CW’s ratings performance in its Friday 8:00-9:00p.m.time period by 67% among adults 18-34 (1.5/6), 200% in men 18-34 (1.8/7), 75% in adults 18-49 (1.4/5), 183% in men 18-49 (1.7/6) and 74% in total viewers (3.12million).

“Smallville” joins the five previously announced series – “The Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “Supernatural” and “America’s Next Top Model” – which will all return for another season on The CW.

“Smallville” was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

TV Guide is reporting that Tom Welling, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman, and Erica Durance will all be returning. No official word yet on Allison Mack or Callum Blue.

Renewal Prospects "Looking Really, Really Good"

Although Smallville was not on the initial list of shows renewed for another season on The CW, EW's Michael Ausiello has some possible good news for folks who'd like to see the show fly for another year:

Question: Crazed fans like myself desperately need an update on Smallville’s renewal. How’s it looking? Any idea what the hold-up is? —Ryan
Ausiello: It’s looking really, really good. And the hold-up is due to boring stuff like contracts and money.

So there you have it: It sounds like if every contract can be finalized (Tom allegedly signed through Season 10 last year), and if The CW sees that the show can be done at a budget in which the show still turns a profit, the show could be back after all.

Geoff Johns Named Creative Director Of DC Comics

DC Comics is reorganizing, and part of those changes includes the installation of a new Creative Director who should be very familiar to Smallville fans - Geoff Johns.

Johns had this to say about his appointment at the DCU Source blog:

There is no place on Earth that has a more diverse and deep universe of characters and worlds. From Atrocitus to Y: The Last Man. My love for DC started when I first saw the Flash take on Captain Cold in the Challenge of the Super-Friends. I never ate my Honeycomb that fast. It when I bought my first comic books in 1985, including Crisis on Infinite Earths, alongside my Super Powers figures and only grew over the years until I broke into the industry myself.

So what does a “Chief Creative Officer” do? Well, I still wear t-shirts and write and go to conventions, but I’ll be doing a whole lot more too.

Under the leadership of Jim and Dan, I’ll continue writing and giving my creative input as I have been in comic books. But expanding onto that, Diane’s asked me to take our comic book world, embrace it (as I do) and use it to lead the creative charge on bringing it all to film, toys, television, video games, animation and beyond. The Justice Society appearing on Smallville was only the beginning.

John Schneider Stars In Spike TV "Back Nine" Pilot

Smallville patriarch John Schneider, who played "Jonathan Kent" in the show's first 100 episodes, has been cast to star in a SpikeTV pilot called "Back Nine."

Schneider will play the lead character, a washed-up former U.S. Open golf champion. He has a sex-addicted caddy named Tiger who was so named before the Tiger Woods drama last year; it'll be curious to see if the name changes.

If picked up as a series, Back Nine would join other sports-themed SpikeTV series including Blue Mountain State which features Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) and Alan Ritchson (Aquaman) in its cast.

Smallville Vets Take On Supergirl #50

The CW Renews Several Shows; No Smallville (Yet)

The CW has renewed several shows including The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, and 90210 for additional seasons but thus far has NOT announced a Season 10 renewal for Smallville.

The futures of One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected are also still unknown.

This might not be cause to be alarmed - after all, the network needs to see their new pilots before making key decisions - but it's clearly not a "sure thing" as the show has been in the past at this time of the year.

Read the CW's press release.

"Warrior" Holds Up Against The Olympics Opening Ceremonies

Helping things look good for a renewal, Smallville ended up with 2.48 million viewers as reported in last night's overnight ratings.... despite being up against NBC's nearly 30 million viewers for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. In key 18-49 demographics Smallville did better than CBS's Surviving Survivor repeat and ABC's airing of Spider-Man 2.

Here's the overnight-ratings breakdown (Source: TVByTheNumbers):

Please note that the above numbers for last week are for the 8PM hour only. (R) denotes that it's a repeat airing.

Additionally, the repeat of "Hex" got 1.52 million viewers... perhaps Zatanna should show up more often. :-)

Christopher Nolan To Oversee New Superman Film?

Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood Daily has posted the bombshell that a new Superman movie might still be a possibility, with The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan in a supervisory role.

The project is still "in the early stages of development," but if it happens, it will likely be put through the process before some of the Superman rights revert to Jerry Siegel's heirs.

Chances are good that Nolan and the other filmmakers will take a new approach rather than using previous Superman actors such as Brandon Routh or Tom Welling in the role.

Big News: Michael McKean (Perry White) Is Returning To Smallville, Too!

We didn't think the news would be very far off: Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is now also reporting that Annette O'Toole's husband, Michael McKean, is ALSO returning to Smallville later this season, playing the role of someday-editor of the Daily Planet, Perry White.

Perry has not been seen on Smallville since Season 3.

"We finally get to see the legendary introduction between Perry White and the intrepid Lois Lane," executive producer Brian Peterson teases. I know speaking for myself, I'm more concerned with seeing what Perry thinks of Clark's progress.

Ausiello has also gotten confirmation on when both Martha Kent and Perry White will be returning - it will be the next to last episode of the season, episode #9.21, for which we do not yet have an episode title.

Annette O'Toole Is Returning To Smallville!

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Annette O'Toole has inked a deal to return to Smallville as Martha Kent in one of this season's final episodes.

No word yet on when, but Ausiello says it will be "rocked by an 'unexpected surprise' or two."

Smallville Season 10: Things Are Looking Even Brighter...

Today The CW held their part of the Television Critics Association press tour, and several journalists caught up with CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff to discuss the prospects of Smallville going for a tenth season.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, Ostroff sounds optimistic about the show's chances, and seems pleased with the show creatively. But regarding whether or not the show will be back for another year, Ostroff says the decision will come in May. "[The producers] haven’t even pitched us the last episodes yet, so we haven’t even gotten to how we’re going to deal with the last episode and whether it’s a season finale or series finale," Ostroff said to Ausiello. "But right now, I think it’s just a season finale."

Ostroff also made chances sound good in an interview with IGN's Eric Goldman. "If the show doesn't come back, I think it will be a sort of really last minute decision, because either development [for new series] was great or the show wasn't doing as well on Friday nights. But we still have a whole half a season to go before we have to determine that," she said.

So, while no official decision has been announced, at least things ARE sounding good.

Laura Vandervoort (Smallville's Kara) returns to television on Tuesday night with the series premiere of V on ABC.

Michael Shanks Talks Hawkman

(Before anyone gets mad about "spoilers on the main page," keep in mind that site policy allows for things that are being discussed and publicized in mainstream media to be talked about here. So please don't be mad!)

A new interview at the Huffington Post of all places talks to Michael Shanks about his upcoming 2-episode role as Hawkman in the episode "Society." The article notes that the episodes will air on January 21 and January 28, though those dates have not yet been confirmed by the studio.

Here's a quote from the very revealing interview: "Hawkman being the alpha in the Justice Society, being someone who...has made some missteps along the way, can or could represent a type of mentor character to Clark in his leadership abilities with his burgeoning team members of the Justice League. He represents a character that has a lot of wisdom to pass down to this next generation, so there is a strong possibility that once the initial phase wears off that there will be a coming together of those two to paint a larger portrait of the future, of what Clark has available to him and what his options are."

Sam Jones III Arrested In "Big-Time Drug Deal"

Oh, Pete. You shouldn't have left Kansas.

TMZ.com is reporting that Sam Jones III, who played "Pete Ross" in the first three seasons of Smallville, was arrested as "part of a conspiracy to deal more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone."

The DEA reports that Sam was the "Hollywood connection" in the plot to distribute the pills. If convicted, Sam could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

Let's hope this is mistaken, and that Sam was not involved. Stay tuned for more information when and if it becomes available.

UPDATE: KTLA has posted an article with more information about the situation. You can find that here.

Steve Bacic Is The "Dark Archer"

KryptonSite has learned that Steve Bacic has landed the role of Oliver's mentor "The Dark Archer" in the upcoming episode "Disciple."

Fans of the sci-fi genre may recognize him from recurring roles in Andromeda and Stargate. He also played a not-so-Beastly Dr. Henry McCoy in X2. Soon he'll be appearing as "Dr. Sexy" in an episode of Supernatural.

DC Comics' Superman: Secret Origin: Geoff Johns Creates The "Ultimate" Smallville Comic

Hitting comic book stores this week in the first issue of a new comic book mini-series titled Superman: Secret Origin. The book is written by Geoff Johns (writer of Smallville's "Legion") and has some special treats for Smallville fans within.

The first issue takes place during Clark's childhood, and folks like Lana and Pete are present. [SOME SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW] The added thrill is that there are some references to the TV show that didn't usually exist in comic book continuity - for example, the reaction that sets off Clark's heat vision. There's also a reference to a "Chloe S." for those who look closely enough, and I still think Jonathan Kent looks like John Schneider in a few places. You'll also notice that the barn and the farm house look a little familiar, and Clark takes on a blue shirt/red jacket combo that will "blur" the line between TV and comics continuity.

Either way, it's a fantastic comic, and it almost makes me wish there was a monthly comic book series like this which explored Clark's younger days and retold Smallville from the comic book universe's perspective - involving Lana, Chloe, Pete, Lex and the rest. Check it out in good comic book shops everywhere.

Glen Winter Will Be Directing "Society"

Geoff Johns, the comic book superstar who is writing the upcoming Justice Society episode of Smallville appropriately titled "Society," revealed on Twitter that he has plans to dine with "Legion" director Glen Winter on Saturday... and mentioned that Winter is directing "Society" as well.

Is Michael Rosenbaum Returning? The Latest...

Some buzz to come from DragonCon was that Michael Rosenbaum would be returning to Smallville in the near future as Lex. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as related by Michael himself in his Twitter account. Here's what he had to say:

"On the Smallville comments? Not gonna happen. Creating my own stuff now and very happy. Sorry to bum ya out."

Hopefully some deal will be made to bring Michael back before all is said and done. Not only would it be awesome to see Michael interacting with Tom Welling and the rest of the cast again - it would be fun to see him interacting with Cassidy Freeman's Tess... and Smallville without Lex Luthor is like peanut butter without jelly. It still tastes decent, but it's even better to have both at the same time.

Dawn Ostroff Says Smallville Could Live Past Season 9

The CW's Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff today spoke with the media at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour in Pasadena, California, and offered a shiny broadcast for the show's future.

"I hope it's not the last season," she said. "I think the producers have done a great job coming up with really good storylines this year, but I do think the show still has a lot of life left to it."

Regarding the show's Friday-night move, she says "this is the first year we're actually migrating all of our viewers to Friday night. We felt the best way to open up Friday night was with a big established hit like Smallville."

Ostroff does not know if Michael Rosenbaum will be returning to the show this year. "I wouldn't rule it out, but I don't know if it will happen this season," she said. "I don't know if we really actually had a conversation with Michael, but I think the idea was to keep the character alive and make his presence really felt." (Clearly she hasn't seen "Requiem.")

Repost: A Reminder To PLEASE Check Out Smallville Season 7: The Official Companion!

In addition to working on KryptonSite, site webmaster Craig Byrne has written the four most recent Smallville companion books for Titan Publishing.

The Season 7 companion book, which featured a Foreword by Laura Vandervoort (Kara), was released in October.

Unfortunately, a decision to make a Season 8 book has not yet been made, and chances are if sales on the previous books do not pick up, we might not get companions for Season 8 (or beyond)

So, if you've been "thinking about it" but just never got around to it, now is the time to PLEASE order a copy of the book from Amazon.com or go to your local bookstore to find or request a copy.

Personally speaking, and breaking from the editorial voice for a moment, I'd really like the opportunity to do another book and I KNOW there are a lot of unanswered questions about Season 8 that fans would like to see answers to. If sales go up, and the Amazon.com ranking goes up, they might have no choice but to go forward with more!

Order your copy of the Season 7 book from Amazon.com!
