AOL AND THE WB TEAM UP FOR EXCLUSIVE 'SMALLVLLE' BLOG

'Project Mercury 2.0' Blog to Extend Plot from On-Air to Online
With Text, Photos, and Video Updates

Dulles, VA and Burbank, CA – April 18, 2006 – AOL and The WB have teamed for a unique collaboration surrounding The WB’s hit series “Smallville." AOL.com will host an online blog at http://www.aol.com/smallville that will bring fans even deeper into the show's exciting plot, taking viewers from on-air to online, then back again for the May 4 episode.

The exclusive blog will allow “Smallville” fans to join Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) in his secret mission (Project Mercury 2.0) to track down Dr. Milton Fine (James Marsters). The blog will chart Fine’s progress as his traverses the globe hunting down samples of all the deadliest viruses known to man. The Project Mercury 2.0 blog will feature text, photos and video reports as Lex’s team updates him (and fans) on their progress in finding Dr. Fine. AOL.com users will be the first to know Dr. Fine is back in the United States and presumably ready to wreak his havoc on the world just before the May 4 episode airs.

In 2003 and 2004, AOL and The WB teamed up to create the “Chloe Chronicles,” an exclusive original series of brief online video segments that extended plotlines from "Smallville," providing clues to mysteries of the show and offering hints as to what was to come in future episodes. The "Chloe Chronicles" featured Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), as she investigates suspicious happenings around the town of Smallville.

“Smallville” was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive producers, along with Greg Beeman, Ken Horton, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.
