The Official Michael Rosenbaum Thread

[Mikelus]

Thanks PJ for posting it, Michael kind of confirmed that it could be his last season. I guess he could come back as a guest star in Season 8, specially if S7 ends being short cause of the strike.

Sounds more like he's not so sure if he's leaving, since in the past he had no problem saying this was his last season.

 

[Mikelus]

Michael wants to move on, but it depends on how S7 ends, if the strike is over soon, SV will be able to produce more episodes and maybe "close" Lex's storyline, but if the season ends with Veritas, I'm not sure Lex's arc will be done yet, so he should be back for some episodes in S8, we'll see.

No More “Smallville” for Michael Rosenbaum?
Michael Rosenbaum, who plays Lex Luthor on "Smallville", has made an interesting comment during a video segment with Young Hollywood.

Rosenbaum finishes off the video segment telling fans to watch "Smallville" but adds, "For only a couple more months, because then I'm done".

Does this mean "Smallville" won't be returning for an 8th season? Or does it simply mean that Rosenbaum himself won't be returning once season 7 is done? Stay tuned!

Thats what I wonder. IMO if there is another Superman movie be it a sequel to SR or just a reboot then do we really need another season of SV? I mean the only way I see us needing another season is if they plain on putting Tom in the suit for more then 1 min (example Star Wars III Darth Vader).

 

[StorminNorman]

To have a Season of Smallville without Michael Rosenbaum is - well - stupid.

Taking away heads and tales the best piece of the Smallville puzzle leaves you with a show not fit for TV.

 

[triplet]

I think Michael is stupid for leaving early. He won't have a career after Smallville unless he does a helluva lot better job picking projects in the future.

He should stay with Smallville and get a regular paycheck as long as possible... He may not ever have it as good again.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I really don't blame the guy for wanting out . After 7 years straight with the same old Bull**** with nothing changing . I'd leave too.

Yeah, I agree trip, and I still think Smallville can survive without him. He's barely in it any more anyway.

Yeah, sad but true.

He's going to be like whathisname Caruso that left NYPD Blue and had a less than a sucessful feature career and is now back on TV in CSI Miami.

Michael clearly isn't as versatile an actor as he seems to think he is... The comedic roles he's chosen to do have never seemed to turn out.

Too bad, I like him, but either he's got to pick better projects or stick to what he's shown he's good at: villainous dramatic roles.

 

[Mikelus]

Michael is great, but if he wants out, I respect it. SV can go on without him, they can bring other enemies and refresh the whole thing a bit.

 

[LostSon88]

If Episode 15 is to be Lex Luthor's last...it damn well better deliver!!!

[The Incredible Hulk]

I still love the part with him on the treadmill in high heels

 

[ariellem]

LMAO at this one, particularly the end.

"Bobo Eckstein and Tom Swelling in I Love my Weiner"

I WANT TO SEE THAT MOVIE!

 

[ariellem]

I'm surprised MR didn't name himself "Mickey Rosenballs" or "Rosenbum" or some such. Maybe too obvious.

*snort*

I'd go see it...

Now, for something completely different. This is all a guess, apparently, based on who Michael's recently been seen having lunch with, but could he be the next Freddy Krueger?

I’m going to say up front that as rumors go, this one is a bit sketchy. But it’s an interesting notion, and in the interests of reporting everything we get our hands on unfiltered, here it is.

Tonight I got an email from a friend of the site who says she was lucky enough to spot Smallville star Michael Rosenbaum out and about lunching with Michael Bay in Hollywood this past weekend. Now they could be out having some sort of secret gay affair I suppose, or maybe they’re secret BFFs, but our source seems to think that they were talking business, and that their business may have been Michael Bay’s reboot of the classic horror movie Nightmare on Elm Street. And here’s where the speculation gets really unsubstantiated and crazy… our source guesses that this could mean Rosenbaum is up for the role of young Freddy Krueger, since Bay will need one to fill Robert Englund’s shoes.

However, Michael Bay has a lot of pokers in the fire and they could have really been talking about anything. Maybe he wants him to voice a robot in Transformers 2. But Rosenbaum is about the right age to put on the claws and play Freddy in a reboot, and for some weird reason it’s easy to picture him actually excelling at the role. He’d never be Robert Englund, but Rosenbaum actually might not be half bad.

Oddly enough, Rosenbaum has actually worked with the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund before. In 1998 they both appeared in Urban Legend.

For now it’s all wild conjecture, but Bay and Rosenbaum are definitely up to something, and I seriously doubt it has anything to do with Smallville or buying matching charm bracelets.

heh, maybe Bay's gonna take another shot at the Superman franchise

I wonder if Rosie would be willing to sign up to shave his head for a feature if he were Lex Luthor to Tom's Superman.

That'd rock!



Unfortunately, it was probably Bay sweet talking Rosie to do a voice for Trans 2, although if he were to do a reboot of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise I'd probably go see it. He does crazy-intense pretty well.

QFT!

Kind of a pipe dream, but dreams are good.

But would you need a private lunch with someone to talk about voicing an animated character?

I don't really see how Rosey could play a young Freddie Krueger when he's not exactly a spring chicken - he's 35 years old (I think).

Nah. I'm voting for something else.

"Director Jonathan Williams informs us cameras will roll in April on House of Eternity. Queensryche's Geoff Tate and Candice Night of Blackmore's Night topline this supernatural horror flick co-starring Michael Rosenbaum ("Smallville"), Omar Gooding, Lenny Venito ("The Sopranos") and Robert Costanzo."

Soo.....now Rosey and Kristin are both doing movies in April. What does this mean for Smallville??

 

[Mikelus]

^ Smallville will resume filming in mid-March according to the K-Site webmaster. So, unless Michael is absent from a couple of episodes or does both at the same time, seems complicated enough.

He needs to pick better movies

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

depends on where the movie is being filmed. If its in vancouver, he'll do what Welling did during the Fog and pull double duty...
