Tom Welling as Superman

[Docker2.0]

PAT! you dont' trust me!?!
I told you Welling has agreed to it already but it won't be officially announced for another couple of days. Again, that's why Routh wasn't asked and is sitting on easy money for that reason. Plus WB feels like they have hit a homerun by hiring this generation's (arguably)Superman.

well now, if true, it would appear that the ball is in Tom's court.


Service, Mr. Welling

"I just got a call that a verbal agreement may have been reached today between WB and Gough and Millar that would allow Welling to make the switch to the big screen. I put in some calls to further confirm it and I'm waiting to hear back. Now this doesn't mean Welling has agreed to anything, but that he isn't being held back from it any longer which in itself is HUGE considering all indications were that Gough was the only problem holding things up.

As usual, I'll keep you all posted...THE WAIT COULD FINALLY BE OVER!! WOO HOO!!"

I need a martini.

And some of this:

Awesome news.

The next thing I hear better revolve around THIS.

Well, you know how it is, Docker. We (general "we," not you and I "we") have been through this before. Plus Sanchez made it sound like it was a done deal two months ago, but then "something happened." I have nightmares of that phrase, y'know? LOL

I think most of us have known since early 2004 that there was a sizable faction at WB who wanted Welling to graduate up to their film franchise. They put the feelers out (reference Ross' drawings) and got some reality confirmation on that, and it's grown in leaps and bounds since then. Because fans didn't let it drop. Squeaky wheels eventually get oiled, doncha know?

So I'm about as confident (read: hopeful) as I've ever been that this is going to happen, but I'm not going to get cocky about it until the fat lady sings. Because we all know, this sheet could still fall apart at the 11th hour. It's happened before after all.

Anyhoo, keep the faith folks.

 

[triplet]

Hee.... He is a Super-Man and now he'll be superman on screen!

I hope our hopes aren't dashed...

I don't want this to be like last time.

*bites nails nervously*

 

[Showtime]

Well if it is indeed about to drop, I hope it drops quickly. Then we can talk about what the suit will look like on Welling, get some more manips going. At least it will be over. We all know that it won't be all fun and games though. There will be those who won't accept this. Unfortunately.

Well..................we have only 2 weeks left before it's officially announced. They have known since the bomb of a certain movie that Welling would be Supes. Hence the bringing in of Supergirl.

Waiting...waiting...still waiting...

Asking AgentPat to continue sacrifing chickens!!

2 Weeks? What are you talking about.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

2 Weeks? What are you talking about.

I would expect an announcement anytime between now & before October 31st for an obvious reason

 

[Showtime]

...that reason would be...

 

[Lighthouse]

...that reason would be...

He's talking about the strike.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

...that reason would be...

The writers strike could start on November 1st

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Looking at how good the ratings are for the first two episodes of Season 7 & now this & the guys for the most part seem to love Kara

This could be the end of Smallville

 

[Showtime]

He's talking about the strike.

What does the writers strike have to do with casting?

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

What does the writers strike have to do with casting?

I am talking about in general. They probably want things done before any strike happens. One less thing to worry about.
