Tom Welling as Superman

[mellyM]

Or she doesn't want to hear it when her info turns out to be false...

Or she has a life.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Either way what ever happens if Tom is in it or not there will be *****ing.

*tries to wait patiently*

waiting for the announcement has given me ulcers.

frankly I've grown a bit tired of the whole "is he? or isn't he?" thing. It was somewhat fun after the initial IESB stuff but its become tiresome either way. IESB has been pretty spot on in the past with most of their stuff but I'm starting to have doubts about the latest round of Tom negotiations that were allegedly going down last week, I think Sanchez may be guilty of playing to the crowd a bit too much. His message forum EXPLODED after the Welling news and I can see him wanting to keep people talking.

As for emijayne, who really knows? I've been lurking over there for a while and she does seem to have credibility with the longtime posters there for scooping previous things but I think she may be a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention she's gotten recently both positive and negative. I was recently sent a link to some previous remarks she had made a year or so ago that I found outright disgusting, so the shine has come off her a bit IMO.

Whomever it's going to be, let's just have it already. WB has been making announcements about 2009 movies like T4 this week so lets hope JLA isnt far behind. The thing that really scares me is if this follows the new Star Trek film and how their "Kirk" isnt even known a month before filming. Can you imagine how hairy this place is going to be if its January and we still don't know who Supes is going to be?

Whomever it finally is, good for them. If it's Tom than fantastic I'm there 10 times as long as its halfway decent. If its Routh, I wont be as excited, but even though I like to tease about the guy to our cousins over yonder I've long since gotten over that and dont really have the energy that some do to debate it much. Count me in for one viewing. If its a new guy, than may God have mercy on his poor soul because he immediately becomes the most nit-picked actor in Hollywood.

Just as much as any of us on these boards I guess...

Yeah she's had a checkered past which I was well aware of previously, that is why I am not so eager to sell my soul to her as some of the posters here, IESB, and of course Countingdown, have done. To each his own, or something like that.

Same here. I just posted on IESB for the first time in a few days. I haven't really been paying attention over there because it's a complete clusterbleep of arguing fanboys. I don't need that; I've got that here. Don't need to go there for it too, y'know? LOL

...I think Sanchez may be guilty of playing to the crowd a bit too much. His message forum EXPLODED after the Welling news and I can see him wanting to keep people talking.

I noticed that. Also noticed they had a board "update" and now there's more ads per page and less posts. Somebody said they didn't think Sanchez would approve of the arguing on his board. Are you kidding? Each refresh is worth another two cents.

As for emijayne, who really knows? I've been lurking over there for a while and she does seem to have credibility with the longtime posters there for scooping previous things but I think she may be a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention she's gotten recently both positive and negative.

Agreed. I bet she's been swamped with PMs.

I was recently sent a link to some previous remarks she had made a year or so ago that I found outright disgusting, so the shine has come off her a bit IMO.

Oh dear, what did she say? PM me dude.

Whomever it's going to be, let's just have it already.

While I couldn't agree with you more, I think Warners may be enjoying the buzz.

The thing that really scares me is if this follows the new Star Trek film and how their "Kirk" isnt even known a month before filming. Can you imagine how hairy this place is going to be if its January and we still don't know who Supes is going to be?

That would be hysterical, in a really sad sort of way, 'cause you know how people can be.

So wait... the Star Trek film starts shooting in a month, and they haven't announced who will be playing Kirk? Oh wow! I can't believe I'm missing that. Somebody post it here (Talon thread) when it happens. I'd love to know who the knew sap is gonna be.

Whomever it finally is, good for them. If it's Tom than fantastic I'm there 10 times as long as its halfway decent.

If Welling is cast, is it wrong to say that I'd be there 10 times even if it's not decent? Tom Welling AS Superman in a live action feature film? Oh c'mon! I don't care if they cast Madonna as Wonder Woman, I'm there. LOL (Hyperbole for humor)

If its Routh, I wont be as excited, but even though I like to tease about the guy to our cousins over yonder I've long since gotten over that and dont really have the energy that some do to debate it much. Count me in for one viewing.

I'll catch it when it comes to cable in that situation. He's my deal breaker. Sorry. Just is.

If its a new guy, than may God have mercy on his poor soul because he immediately becomes the most nit-picked actor in Hollywood.

Jeeze, you got that right. It makes me laugh that Jett was trying to perpetrate the rumor that actors were shying away from Batman because they didn't want to step on Bale's toes. Meh. I think that's utter nonsense. And while there really isn't any toes to step on in accepting the Superman role, the fanship is so divided on who they do want that *anybody* is gonna catch hell, no matter what.



PS: Hey Showtime, how come you don't want people knowing that's you posting there? Other than Sanchez and a few drive bys, they're mostly just a bunch of youngish fanboys. They're opinionated, but they seem to be pretty harmless. No?

IESB.

IESB.

I wasn't hiding it, I was just having fun with one of the posters there.

LOL! No prob. That's cool. Like I said, I've been avoiding posting there myself. It's gotten rather... heated. I'm gonna wait till Sanchez adds something new 'cause there really is no reason to gunk up the boards there. Well, none that I see, anyway. I think Warners has eyes everywhere. It's not like IESB is any more exposed than here or other places.

Gosh, I wish this was over soon.

I don't mind posting there, problem is my membership has been growing on several sites. Luckily my day job and "night" job allow for me to post, not sure whether that is good or bad. I don't want to being a posting addict, although I think I already am.

I think you're right, I think Al Gough is covering his tracks either way.

Are you still going to stick with your original "No Tights, No Flights" policy, considering how far we've come with the mythology and the fact that Supergirl [aka Kara, played by Laura Vandervoort] will be flying? — Salchan

Al Gough: Yes, we are sticking with that policy as far as Clark is concerned. (Obviously Bizarro can fly as well as Kara.) But following up on what Chloe said about his lack of flying in the season premiere ("Clark, you need to get on that"), Kara will be giving him "flying lessons" later in the season. Although with Clark, they end up being more like "falling lessons."


Since there is going to be a JLA movie and [Superman Returns'] Brandon Routh and [Batman Begins'] Christian Bale are not going to be in it, is there any chance that Tom Welling and the rest of the gang from Smallville's own Justice League could be featured in the roles? — cooper2000

Al Gough: That, unfortunately, isn't how Hollywood works. You will see a brand-spanking-new group of actors donning the tights for that film. I heard it is under the direction of George (Mad Max) Miller, so I am personally very excited to see it.

I just saw that on IESB.

Who was the first to bring up that Gough was the problem, that is what I want to know. Was it Rob at IESB or was it a poster from some forum?

Thing is, Gough has been rumored to have been the problem in this Welling as superman thing for a good amount of time the negotiations went down.
Even when we were hearing news from both Sanchez and Emijayne that Welling was under negotiations, Gough openly denied it. He COULD very well be right, but he could also just be that he`s covering his ass, like mentioned earlier by some of the posters here.

One thing about Gough though, I don`t have the slightest bit of trust in the guy, he has a bad tendency to lie.

Damn. Not what I was hoping to wake up to this morning.

Guess things on the scooper (IESB and CD) front are going to stay quiet until the cast is officially announced after that little blurb.
I mean it's a quote in TV guide!

Oh well....there is always the hope that this is all some strange dream.

I don't see them using Brandon, especially with all of the TW talk going on and the WB not making any effort to squash it if they were using BR.

But I really don't see a third @@#$$@* actor donning the tights in so many years. That's would be ridiculous.

 

[Serene]

Bummer.

They just need to END this already.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Different change of pace from Gough. But do we know how new this interview is ? They could have interviewed him a long while ago & it just now gets published. Then again Gough could have just used different & actual polite words since it was a TV Guide interview & not some random phone call from a web site scooper.

Exactly!

I want Welling or Routh or no Superman atall

Unfortunately it looks like another actor is what we are getting

perhaps I'm missing something, but why does Gough's latest denial carry more wieght than the other 3?

My guess is because it's in TV Guide rather than some nameless website.
