Sorry to interupt the pre-school blah VS blah circle jerk with some movie news but ...
Tom Welling ('Smallville') talked to MTV online at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards that he's signed on for a movie but is not allowed to discuss it, fueling rumors that he will star in X-Men director Bryan Singer's new Superman movie.
"I'm sworn to secrecy," Welling said with a smile. "It's too early." A spokesperson for Warner Bros. said the role has not yet been cast. Welling, in the meantime, will continue playing Clark Kent on the small screen. "We have a couple new characters [this season]," he said. "Lois Lane will be visiting Smallville, which keeps things interesting for Clark. ... And Clark isn't necessarily earthbound this season."
I don't know where is this coming from cuz I read an article where the same guy was saying that he wasn't interested in the part.
Here's that news:
August 5, 2004: Comics2Film points out an article at Superman-V.com that claims director Bryan Singer has offered Smallville star (and fanboy fave) Tom Welling the title role in Superman Returns. The offer is reportedly a two-picture deal but, as Superman-V points out, "Welling has shown a reluctancy towards playing SuperMAN and from what we hear from our source that is still the case and it is unlikely that he will accept. With Singer and the Donners on board and rumours of Christopher Reeve being involved Welling MIGHT change his mind but we haven't heard anything to indicate that is the case." Dark Horizons recently claimed that actors Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch) and Christopher Douglas (Passions) are also in the running to play Superman. Superman Returns begins filming later this year in Australia for a 2006 release. Dan Harris & Mike Dougherty will script.
Although Pat Moran + Associates are accepting open submissions from both actors and non-actors, auditions are by appointment only. Auditions will be held the week of August 16th through August 20th.
awww crap, Tom Welling? He's so skinny!! He's good for a teen superman but for adult we need muscle, go on put foam or some other shit under his costume, it will look stupid.
Woah! Lois Lane, very cool. Cant wait for that, but im not up to date with smallville. Last time i saw it Clark was a bad wittle baby,robbing banks and shit... yay!!! Do u think he can fly now?
he only plays a teenager. hes like 27 in real life. and hes actually pretty ripped. i think hes perfect.
yeah that was when he had the Red Kryptonite ring. as opposed to weakening him, it made him rebellious. but then Kal's father gave John Kent superpowers so that he could physically take Clark down.
If he really is going to be superman, then this movie loses all possibility of being good, even with Singers touch. I mean Superman is a MAN not a boy. anyway i heard he was casted on for a small part in the movie.

he is a boy. I mean i would atleast think the standard casting decesion for a Superman, would call for someone could pass off an apearance that they are in their mid to late 20's. No matter how much make up or bulking this kid goes through, he will still apear to be in his teens or someone who just turned 20. How can you really take Superman serious if he appears to be a boy?

I know what u mean, but he looks like the best choice for now. I don't know make a suggestion, cuz Tom is really good in Smallville. The guy that plays Lex is a great actor, I hate that biotch from next door she is too perfect. What's a guy have to do to get some tongue action dammit! All the powers in the world can't help him to get laid with that nice girl. Hey don't reveal too much about smallvill cuz we're on the first season here in croatia. Can u guys tell me how many seasons of Smallville r out there? is the show over?
