On
Location: The Lex & Lana Wedding
Report
by Craig Byrne - KryptonSite Webmaster
In January,
the cast of Smallville gathered with 250 extras to film
what will surely be a momentous occasion in Smallville
history - the wedding of Lex Luthor and Lana Lang.
The wedding
was filmed in an actual church not far from downtown Vancouver.
KryptonSite's Craig Byrne was fortunate enough to attend this
event, coinciding with his work on Smallville:
The Official Companion Season 4.
"I'm
excited because there's a twist nobody could have ever expected,"
episode co-writer Brian Peterson said on set. "It's phenomenal.
It really is incredible to see everybody bringing it to life
exactly how you expected it. And the director's doing an amazing
job."
"I
think the performances are amazing so far," director Rick
Rosenthal said. "We're in the middle of shooting, but I've
just been blown away by the actors' performances. Having started
here in Year Two, to see the growth of all of the actors, it's
been amazing, and each one has brought something unique to the
party in this episode."
"I
think what's good about this episode is that the Man of Steel
is powerless to deal with matters of the heart," Rosenthal
added.
Here are
some of the things that were spotted on set. Be warned of SPOILERS!
- Kristin
Kreuk's dress is BEAUTIFUL. It's sleeveless, and complements
her very well. The recently-released
promotional photos offer you a look at this very lovely
design.
- Surprisingly
absent from most of the wedding festivities? Tom Welling as
Clark. Although, judging from the look on Lionel's face in one
take, and again with some of the promotional photos it wouldn't
be a surprise if he comes in to crash the party.
- The maid
of honor, Chloe Sullivan, is wearing a purple dress with a pink
sash wrapped around it. It matches the wedding's flowers and
looks great on Allison.
- As Lex
and Chloe arrive at the wedding, Chloe looks a little frantic
like something might be wrong and she is telling him about it.
It was a little difficult to hear what they were saying, but
it could be that Lana is missing. A look of relief on Lex's
face as Lana shows up supports that theory.
- Lionel
stands behind Lex, which may imply he is the best man.
-
Martha sits in the front pew, surely a guest of Lionel's.
- Sarah-Jane
Redmond returns as Aunt Nell for her first Smallville
appearance since Season Two. She sits in the front pew next
to Martha.
- As they
are saying their vows, Lana looks a bit uneasy. Could she have
finally learned Clark's secret? Will she go through with the
wedding? Do we really need to remind you to tune in on March
15 to find out?
- Filming
on one of the days had to be stopped for several hours as a
Japanese couple had rented the church to take some photos in
its beautiful location. Whether or not they realized they were
in the middle of a filmed TV series is unknown... but they sure
seemed happy.
- There
IS a sequence where Lex and Lana leave the church and are off
to their honeymoon, which could mean the wedding is on... unless
it's a dream sequence, as rumor has it there will be at least
one dream sequence in the episode. As they were filming the
exit from the church, Clark was, again, nowhere to be seen.
