Tom Welling as Superman

[Mike22]

We can blame the stupid movie thing going on right now for tying up WB damn that thing & you forgot the Green Lantern

Oh yeah, damn, I forgot GL. I already heard a rumor about him, but I didn`t really think the world of it. I can`t remember that actors name to save my life though.

 

[Serene]

That and I LOVE the girl who plays Anne Boelyn :heart:

as a matter of fact, get HER for Wonder Woman

You know...that's not such a crazy idea.

I was talking to someone in a PRIVATE IM conversation, telling him what I heard from some friends, and unbeknownst to me, the person took a completely out of context screenshot of our conversation and started passing it around as if it were the fraking gospel truth.

Sadly enough, there are weasels with no sense of honor amongst us. That kind of behavior doesn't surprise me at all in regards to our resident weasel-boy.

 

[Pickle-El]

I have seen his work first hand on The Tights.

Tell me about it....

 

[Pickle-El]

So, I take it nothing new to report on the rumor-mill?

<----Me right now. I knew that screenshot had gotten around, and I was pissed, but I didn't know HOW MUCH it had gotten around.

No? He can look a lot like Bale

Also Gosling was nominated for an Academy Award and is leaps and bounds a better actor than Boreanaz.

Just my 2 cents - I love the idea of Ryan Gosling for Batman. He is a great actor with real depth. His Oscar nominated role was a tortured drug addict. He could bring the brooding, edginess that is needed for the role of Batman. His natural physique is lean but I'm sure with the right trainer he could bulk up for the part. t:

 

[AgentPat]

Saying anything was started by me over there is complete bull.

I never posted anything publicly on any board about what I had heard about Welling.

I didn't say you did. I said it was started by you. Clearly, you had no idea Kane would spread it all over the I-Net, but that's what happened.

And I really can't decide if I find the "a known fan of... well, that other franchise" comment infuriating, or hilariously stupid.

You're a fan of Singer's Superman franchise, are you not? Am I making stuff up? No. I just didn't want an argument started here between opposing fans so I avoided even mentioning Singer, Superman Returns, or anything related to those specific topics by name. Nothing ever good comes out of such discussion here, especially in THIS thread. And secondly, it's against the rules for this forum anyway.

<----Me right now. I knew that screenshot had gotten around, and I was pissed, but I didn't know HOW MUCH it had gotten around.

You should be rip-roaring angry, because that screen shot went around the world like it was on tour. I had people sending it to me as an FYI. That infuriated ME because it just furthered what I feel to be one of the most bogus rumors to ever make the rounds about Welling.

Please now, lets get back on topic. Okay? Please?

The latest from IESB:

I suggested Gosling for Batman on here a few weeks ago.

This is getting absurd.

Interesting thing I noticed when I was bored and checked the production lists for the IA and DG sites up in BC.

The production list for the IA 891 local lists Smallville as wrapping on the 16th of April.

http://www.iatse.com/document/PRODUCTIONS.pdf

The list over on the DG site has Smallville production ending on the 12th....

http://www.dgcbc.com/productions.pdf

Now, it's only a 4 day difference but could that mean things are moving Tom's way?

*thoughtfully strokes chin*

It could mean nothing or that that one of the lists is wrong, but I wonder if they're looking to wrap things up sooner so that Tom can get down to Sidney in time to pull on the tights for the big screen?



Let's hope....

"[SIZE=-1]Hmmm!"[/SIZE]you may be on to something there.

Speaking of the Lantern, I wonder which they'll use....

Smart money is on Hal... but since the Timmverse Justice League did so well, they might want to go for John Stewart.....

"[SIZE=-1]Hmmm!"[/SIZE]you may be on to something there.

Yeah, I think the DG site is updated more frequently, weekly as opposed to bi-monthly, but I haven't been following them that closely.

Maybe I will follow them closer from now on.

I'm really against the idea of someone else playing Batman besides Bale, but if its Gosling, I just might be able to live with it. Gosling's work in Half Nelson made me think I was watching a new DeNiro emerging onto the hollywood playing field. I know some people didn't like Half Nelson, but god, Gosling really impressed the hell out of me.

So they are pulling a Singer to find a guy that can look like the best actor in the role eh ?

I'm not trying to be offensive Caboose, but in my opinion, this couldn't be further from the truth. Honestly I don't think he looks much like Bale, and I'm really glad that he doesn't. If George Miller is worth his salt, which I think he is, he will not make Gosling model his Batman after Bale's. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Bale's Batman, I think its probably the best on screen. But Gosling is not Bale, just like Roger Moore is not Sean Connery. Different people have to bring their own character to the role, or you get what I felt was a problem with Superman Returns, with Routh channeling Christopher Reeve.

Gosling, while not a movie star, has become a highly respected actor, and he really deserves that respect. If he somehow lands the Batman role, we are all really really lucky.

 

[jayskate]

I watched Ryan Gosling in Fracture and I agree , I thought he was really good in it . I think Ryan would be a great ' Bats ' , with Tom as Superman of course .

I don't think SV as a show production dates would be affected by Welling leaving early. HIS schedule yes, but the dates of production, I don't think so. For the really big stuff, I'd imagine locations and studio time has already been booked if not also paid for. Welling could leave early - and they'd have to juggle schedules in order to allow that - but I don't think that would cause actual production of the show to end earlier. Not if they're still shooting the same amount of episodes anyway.

"But I've been wrong before."

Well allrighty then. I'm sold.

...If George Miller is worth his salt, which I think he is, he will not make Gosling model his Batman after Bale's. ...Different people have to bring their own character to the role.

Well said!! I totally agree!

Tom is the lead man in so many ways, and if this is the last season, then wouldn't he be in like almost every minute of the final episode?

They might have to speed things up... Or at least that was my thought.

It could be a mistake. One guild simply has the end date wrong or maybe the 4 days difference don't mean diddly, but it just got me thinking about why there was a four day difference.

Sometimes I overthink things, so take it for what it's worth.

HAH! One would HOPE. But that isn't what they do on this show anymore. They just need Welling off screen all the time so he can help everybody else. [/cynicism]

In essence, yes, but just like you can't fit ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag, there's only so much they can do with the time they have. And I'm sure the union has rules about having actors work through holidays and stuff.

Yeah. Still though, even if they did shorten the production sked, four days aint a hell whole of a lot of time in the grand scheme of things.

Hah! When it comes to overanalyzing a situation, you're in good company.

I havent saw any of his work but, just judging him from the pic, i'm not feeling it.
I'll keep an open mind about him though, he could be great.

Artist Leno Carvalho's Superman looks A LOT like Tom Welling

Hey Trip...

I've saving copies fo the PDF's of the DG weekly releases since June 29 when SV was on the production lists and Smallville had these dates listed:

July 9 2007 - April 12 2008

These dates have been listed EVERY week since June 29th.

I'm still pimping for TW though to be in JLA

Oh and the reason why the DG and the IASTE lists are different because the IASTE workers cover all kinds of jobs including labourers who would be doing "tear downs" etc. This past April the wardrobe department was busy doing a "sale" of SV clothes to the public that the show didn't want anymore....that went on 4 days after production officially ended.

Yeah?

*pouts*

I thought I found a clue that something might be up....



Oh, well.

Like I said, it could mean nothing and I guess it does.

Thanks for the clarification, though.
