...[Rosenthal's] been coming back to the show off and on over the past few years of the show, and Season 6 is no exception. Rick has already wrapped production on the episode, Subterranean airing on October 26th of this year.
With the switch over from The WB, to now the CW, Rick says things may change in the story lines. Theyre going to go through a little bit of a budget contraction until they see how the CW is going to do. My budget was clipped a little bit, and we shot the show in one less day than usual. To a degree, some of the size of the shows may get scaled back; maybe alternating between a big show and a small show.
But he didnt see that being a problem on his particular episode. For what was shot on a day less, I still think it delivers. The opening shot of my Smallville episode is craning up out of the stalks of a corn field, and just as your rise up and see a corn field as wide as Kansas, whoosh, here comes a crop duster right into your face, and with that takes us over to a potato field where there are 50 or 60 migrant workers working in the field. You crane down and you see two young migrant workers who are sort of stuck, and sort of imprisoned on this farm; and thats a pretty big shot. And then the next shot is the boy trying to escape at night, all through the corn fields it has a great look to it. We were only able to do it because we planned meticulously.
As far as the supernatural element to the episode from what it sounds like, we could possibly be seeing Moleman appear. Theres a creature who is moving underground and is sucking people into subterranean, into the bowels of the Earth; its got all kinds of stuff going on.
And Ricks coming back to Smallville again for another episode in January; Theyve whispered to me that they have something special planned.
