The Official Tom Welling Thread

[Lara]

Wow I hope so! James? Hello? Where are you? I'll check later tonite and see if it's on his site.

 

[mellyM]

Maybe he doesn't have to film long and decided to do it? He has to be back on SV in about 6 weeks doesn't he?

 

[Lara]

Well they also added his name to the cast list on CBTD2. I don't see how/why it would be wrong. I'm really happy he could use the exposure and the last movie did very well. Who knows it could go on for a long time like a modern day Brady Bunch.I think there's just something appealing to people to imagine themselves in a large family like that.

I'm not aware of any official confirmation (Although it could be in the early morning print edition of THR or Variety and I'd be one of the last to know!) yet, but I have been expecting some sort of press release. I was expecting one by the end of May, actually....

For me it's pretty much been a given that he would make some kind of appearance, however brief it may be, but as everyone here knows I don't like to place absolutes until there's been a press release. And even then things can change! I'd be very surprised if Tom isn't in this, and as far as I know he'd be the only one of the original 12 kids who aren't appearing in this one if that were the case.

However. IMDb accepts information from untrained gibbon monkeys, so without knowing where their info came from you shouldn't put all of your eggs into that basket - not unless you want to break most of them. The information they have in Tom's bio list is especially laughable. It's at best only a few steps above TV Tome.

There really isn't much time left to announce him for this movie.... But then would he be given a press release at all if he's only making a 15-second "Hi and goodbye" appearance?

 

[Lara]

Well if nothing else we might get some more interviews with Bonnie Hunt gushing. So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I wonder if the family they are competing with has a brother in a similar age that may give an idea as to the size of his role. Also with listening to the commentary on the first, so much filming time is taken up with wrestling small children. Tom's role would have to be so much easier and quicker to film.Thanks for the update though I didn't know that IMBD wasn't a reputable source.

Awww, I feel loved.

(Though the pictures aren't exactly new in the literal sense. Mid-late 2003 I believe.)

New for me.. Close 'nuff.

Yep. Me too.

 

[AgentPat]

In the category of new but not really new...

I just really like that one.

Amazing what make-up can accomplish, eh?

Hey look, they missed a pore!

LOL

In all seriousness.. How much more unearthly charisma can a man have???

 

[rumpuso]

Dear god!

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

Maybe it's just me but I really like this picture. They look perfect. Add a pair of glasses on Tom and it would be perfect, don't you think ?

Okay, they moved the Cheaper by the Dozen thread and I'm not in the mood to look for it so here is another link for confirmation on Tom doing the film. Pat has the article posted on the Cheaper by the Dozen thread or you can just click here:

Poor Tom, yeah for us. I'll be able to take my kids to see this one.

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

i have the first cheaper by the dozen... unbelievably... i bought the damn thing just to watch what they did with welling. up until then, i didnt realize, how much i liked the guy. im definitely gonna get cheaper by the dozen 2, now that confirmation about welling's involvement has arrived

 

[mellyM]

Oh it was good family fun, and they made him look good in it, the more of Tom the better

Thanks, Kiki. I see they moved both The Fog and CBtD2 threads. Whatever. I'm not gonna go chasing news over to the misc film forum where NOBODY will likely care about those films anyway. Only reason they were brought up to begin with was because of Welling's involvement, so I'll just keep my updates (if I come across any) here. At least THIS thread won't be moved - or closed.

There may be hope for you yet, Mehzeb.

I think The Fog will probably be a better film, especially if you're inclined to see either because of Welling's involvement. He's the star of The Fog verses what will probably be an underused supporting actor role in CBtD2. I think the latter appeals more to fans of Steve Martin films and "kiddie" stories. At least The Fog will be aimed at slightly more mature audiences. I say again, "slightly." LOL

 

[jas01724]

I can't believe they squished the news into a "newsbites" article... and that I completely missed it! I guess Tom isn't important enough to get a press release after all....

Ah well, you can't really be wrong about the date of a press release when there IS NO FREAKIN' RELEASE! *ahem*

At least Pat found that article today - if you'd found it tomorrow it would have had to wait until wednesday or thursday when I wont be quite so drugged up. (I go into the nice 'ospital for my slice'n'dice on monday and I'll be staying through tuesday.)

 

[Lara]

Great I needed some good news! Well it kinda makes sense he isn't Hillary Duff(thank God!) I can't believe they moved our threads grrrrr.

Good luck to you on that.. I know you need it.

Let us know how things went, 'kay?

I didn't check HR. Maybe it was released there?? [shrugs]

Y'know, I wouldn't have found it either if it wasn't for Kiki and her posting the HSE info. I scratched my chin and headed over to Variety to see if there was a press release and found that blurb, so I was as surprised as you, James.

Oh, gawd! What I miss? Your knee? *cringing*

OUCH OUCH OUCH

Thanks, and of course I will!

I know! LOL Go figure?

I guess it really will depend on the scope of his role. If it's small I won't be surprised by the lack of a big release about, but I was pretty much assured there would be one so... me dunno.

I didn't check HR. Maybe it was released there?? [shrugs]

Nope, not even as much as Variety has up.

I was as surprised as you, James.

I'd been looking at THR and V at least twice a day for the past month, and they lump it into something that doesn't even have his name (or the movie's name, for that matter) in its title. They put Taylor somethingorothers name in the title, fer gawd's sake....

Oh, gawd! What I miss? Your knee? *cringing*

OUCH OUCH OUCH

Heh, you missed my running commentary on the knee situation? How'd that happen? Yeah, it's just an exploratory scope but hopefully they'll find (and fix) whatever's causing the trouble. It was meant to be a day-case but the ol' diabetes meant that it was safer to stay overnight. Typical.

 

[Gmanofsteel]

I have to agree man sigh

 

[AgentPat]

I know I'm probably stating the obvious here, but I'm re-heeely looking forward to seeing Tom's performances next season. He upped his game SO much going into the third season after working with - of all people - Steve Martin in the first CBtD film. Going into S5, he will have a LEAD role in a feature film under his belt and he will have worked with Martin and Co again in CBtD2. Welling has pretty much been non-stop for well over a year. That kind of on-the-job training and intensity - working with different directors and writers in different genres - will only accelerate his abilities and experience with the craft. He's one lucky guy.


And James, I'd say break a leg tomorrow, but that wouldn't go over too well, would it? So I'll just say enjoy the drugs while you can. LOL G'luck! We'll be thinking of ya.
