Sorry, Metropolis Is Not Happening

We’re starting to get e-mails about a page on the Internet Movie Database about an “upcoming television series called Metropolis” starring Tom Welling and Erica Durance.

Unfortunately, this is another case of IMDb taking articles that are user-submitted, including wishful thinking from someone with an overactive imagination. It’s not happening.

Warner Bros. has a new Superman movie, The Man Of Steel, out in 2013, when this would be purportedly happening. But more importantly… as much as we should “always hold on to Smallville,” to spread false information like this is stupid and wrong. It’s leading people on to believe something that’s not true.

Not to mention, shouldn’t Tom, Erica, and others be allowed to move on and do new things?

So, whoever it was who submitted it to IMDb as “fact” – you’re an idiot. And if you’re a “news source” that hopped on this fake news, you’re even worse.

Remember IMDb submissions also said Laura Vandervoort and Kristin Kreuk were appearing in the “Finale,” and that fake fan rumors said Michael Rosenbaum would be a series regular in Season 10. Didn’t happen, and never was going to happen.

Thankfully, if I want to see Super-action with Tom, Erica, and the rest, there’ll be the complete series DVD in just a month.
