Kyle Gallner Speeds Into New Wes Craven Movie
Special thanks to: Moviehole

Director Wes Craven must really like Smallville actors who have once played The Flash.

Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) is in Craven's newest film, "Cursed," which is due in theaters on February 25. Michael, of course, is also the voice of Wally West/The Flash in the Cartoon Network's animated Justice League.

Now it's Kyle Gallner's turn. After playing Bart Allen in one of the best comics-inspired episodes of Smallville's history, "Run," Kyle has now been cast in Craven's next project, a Dreamworks film called "RedEye." Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls) and Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins) also star in the film, which Moviehole says is "about a woman held captive by a stranger on an airliner who threatens to kill her father unless she helps him arrange the assassination of a wealthy businessman."

Congratulations to Kyle Gallner on his new role, but let's hope this doesn't mean he'd be too busy for a return appearance in Smallville by season's end. (TPTB - You're making one for us, right?)

Smallville's Ladies Make Femme Fatales' Hot List
Kristin Kreuk (Lana) is the cover feature and has ranked #1 among 2004's Sexiest Women in Femme Fatales' January 2005 issue. But that's not all! Erica Durance (Lois) and Allison Mack (Chloe) also both made Femme Fatales' list! Congratulations to all three of them!

Also, proving that you don't stop being sexy when you're over 40, Erica's predecessor at playing Lois Lane, Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), also made the list.

The latest Femme Fatales is now hitting newsstands.

Erica Durance On The Future Of Lois
Scifipulse.net has gathered some material from issue #125 of Dreamwatch magazine, now available in the UK and coming soon to the U.S. In the interview, Erica Durance is asked whether or not she'd like to return for Smallville's fifth season.

“I would be interested in coming back, of course,” said Durance. “That would be wonderful, to be able to be on this show for another season. I think they're working on that right now and deciding how much of next season Lois might be back and where they could take the character. I know they'd love to bring her back, but there's the film coming up and there are all sorts of things in the upper echelons that I don't know reasons for, but I'll probably know what's happening for in next couple of months.”

Let's hope the movie doesn't screw this up, too. Thanks to Ian at Scifipulse for the tip!

A Little Bit Of Smallville In Wizard #160
Special thanks to: Jake

Getting us hyped up five months early, the latest issue of Wizard magazine (the best-selling publication about comics) offers a tease of what to expect in Smallville's fourth season finale, which won't be airing until May. Click here for the spoilery details.

There's also a feature on comic pros' reaction to the casting of Brandon Routh as the movie Superman. More details to come, but it seems painter extraordinaire Alex Ross stands by the actor who he painted for a TV Guide cover and a recent piece also featuring former Superman Chris Reeve - Tom Welling was his choice. Tom's co-star Erica Durance also would have liked to have seen her "Clark" on the big screen.

Look for Green Lantern's fist, Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, or a montage of characters on this special issue's cover. Wizard #160 also features the announcement of a new comic book series to be written by Smallville's Jeph Loeb - Supergirl, spinning off from the recent hit Superman/Batman story arc. Supergirl will be drawn by Ian Churchill. There's also another project listed that Jeph has been rumored to be attached to; but since Wizard's not saying it for sure, we'll save that announcement for later. Whatever it is involves an artist Loeb seems to work very well with...

"Aunt Nell" Is Now On The Web
We may not have seen her on Smallville since the series' second season, but that doesn't keep Lana's Aunt Nell, aka Sarah-Jane Redmond, off of the Web.

Her official site, SarahJaneRedmond.com, has recently launched. The site also tells about a stage appearance that Ms. Redmond is currently participating in.

And also, those of you want to see some of Redmond's best work should check out the DVD's of Seasons 1 and 2 of Millennium, where she played a VERY spooky character by the name of Lucy Butler.

Special thanks to Brig. Lethbridge-Stuart for the tip.

ABC Family January Schedule!

Blade: Trinity's David Goyer Takes On The Flash
Hopes for a spin-off series featuring Kyle Gallner as Bart Allen may be totally quashed as the Warner Bros. movie division has claimed another DC Comics hero as their own.

David Goyer, who wrote the films "Batman Begins" and "Blade: Trinity," will take on the Fastest Man Alive, the Flash, as his next project. He will write, produce, and direct. "'Flash' is my favorite of the properties," Goyer told Variety. "I think the character of the Flash, who moves faster than the speed of light, opens itself up to rich cinematic and story ideas."

Blade: Trinity's Ryan Reynolds has expressed interest in playing the character. We'll post more updates at TheFlashSite @ KryptonSite as they become available.

As for why is this posted here? Well, the Flash (Bart) did appear in the episode "Run," and the animated version of the Flash in the Cartoon Network's Justice League series is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum.

Kristin Kreuk Speaks At TV Guide Online
Kristin Kreuk was interviewed this week at TV Guide Online. She talked about the show and her being pleased with the new directions the Lana character has been taking. Here's a sample:

"I've had so much fun [this season]," Kreuk smiles. "Jensen is wonderful. To be in your character and laugh and to have that kind of relationship with another person on the show has been so lovely. I don't think Lana and Clark have ever really laughed together. They have had this intense, serious relationship, and to have another level is just so fun."

Kristin also talks about her character's deviation from the color pink. To read the full interview, click here. Thanks to everyone who let us know!

"Recruit" Finds Its "Coop"
Colby Johannson will be playing "Coop" in the 13th episode of the new season, which is titled "Recruit."

Johannson's other roles include episodes of SciFi's new Battlestar Galactica, and also an episode of The Mountain and the movie "Freddy vs. Jason." He often plays "Football Player" so the role shouldn't be too bad of a stretch for him.

For "Recruit" spoilers, click here.

"Pariah" Guest!
An actor named Nick Pernisco will be playing the role of "Jack Garner" in the episode "Pariah," which is scheduled for Feb. 2.

Recent credits for Mr. Pernisco include the film "Melinda and Melinda" and an episode of Deadwood.

Despite the name, the character is probably not related to crazy Dr. Garner from Summerholt. :-)

Kristin Kreuk's "Legend Of Earthsea" Premieres!
The SciFi Channel miniseries "The Legend of Earthsea," featuring Kristin Kreuk (Lana) and two-time Smallville guest star Shawn Ashmore ("Eric Summers"), premiered on Monday, December 13, at 9PM.

The miniseries spanned over two nights. Check your local listings for exact times and possible re-airings.

Kristin Kreuk in Femme Fatales and CFQ
Special thanks to: CFQ

Kristin Kreuk (Lana) is featured in two new magazines that you will soon be able to find on newsstands everywhere.

Kristin is in the December 2004 issue of Femme Fatales magazine where she talks about Smallville in addition to her Earthsea miniseries, which premieres tonight.

She talks about becoming involved with a mythology that already has a fan base, both with the miniseries and with Smallville, and reveals that her sister is a big fan of the 'Earthsea' series of novels. She also talks about her Earthsea co-star Shawn Ashmore, who appeared on two episodes of Smallville though the two of them hadn't had the opportunity before to work together. "Everyone on Smallville loves him, loves him to bits," she told Femme Fatales' Sean Jordan.

The Kreuk feature in Femme Fatales clocks in at five pages and is filled with some nice photos from both projects. Meanwhile, over in the December/January CFQ, Kristin talks about her role on Earthsea and talks about the evolution of Lana Lang.

Both issues should be on newsstands soon if they are not already. CFQ and Femme Fatales will both soon be relaunching their websites; for more information on them, click here. Also keep an eye out early in 2005 for a Kristin Kreuk appearance on Femme Fatales' cover as she has been named one of the "50 Sexy" women for the year 2004.

A Movie For The Flash?
Another concept that would have made a great TV series might be heading to the movie theaters soon.

Both "Blade: Trinity" director David Goyer (who also wrote next year's comic-related film "Batman Begins") and star Ryan Reynolds (who, with Jessica Biel, made the film worth watching, because Wesley Snipes sure didn't cut it) are interested in bringing the Wally West version of the Flash to the big screen.

Of course, a Flash movie would probably mean we'd never get a TV series for Bart, who was introduced in the Smallville episode "Run." We'll keep you updated.

Whitney Speaks: MediasharX Interviews Eric Johnson
Kristin Kreuk isn't the only Smallville actor soon to show up on the SciFi Channel.

Eric Johnson (Whitney) has a new SciFi movie titled "Anonymous Rex" which premieres on the cable channel on Saturday, December 4. Just in time for his new movie, Dee over at MediasharX.com has done an extensive interview with him, and, of course, Smallville has mentioned. He talks about the many roles he auditioned for (Lex? Clark? Chloe?), fan reaction to his character, upcoming projects, returning for "Facade," and more. Here's a brief sample:

"The few, the proud, the Whitney fans. I appreciated it a lot. I knew there were legions of people cheering the death of Whitney, which was also... you know, as long as people are reacting, I think I'm doing my job. And so when they were cheering my death, that was fine with me too. The loyal Whitney fans out there, they have a special place in my heart. They saw his true colors when no one else would."
