Erica Durance Thinks "Clois" Can Wait
Today's TV Guide Insider at TVGuide.com has some interview quotes from Erica Durance (Lois Lane).

In the article, Erica talks about why it might not be a good idea to go too fast with a romantic Clark and Lois relationship.

"Watching characters dance around each other and bait each other and not quite fall into sentimental love is interesting for me to see," she says. "What is also interesting for me to see is these two fighting with each other and finding out why they love each other."

Aquaman Pilot: #1 TV Show Video On iTunes!!!
Customers of iTunes are heavily downloading the pilot episode to the Aquaman TV series by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

Aquaman crept up the charts of the most downloaded TV show videos on iTunes, and at last glance, hit the #1 spot. Not bad for a pilot that the CW decided not to go forward with as a series! Fan reaction at places like the KryptonSite/AquamanTV Forum has been favorable, and word of mouth should keep A.C. at the #1 spot for a few more days.

E! Online has posted an article about the pilot's success and how it is yet another example of online sampling creating a hit. Click here to read that article, titled "Aquaman Going Swimmingly On iTunes."

The pilot stars future Smallville guest Justin Hartley.

Seattle Times Article Compares The Supermen
Julia Waterhous of the Seattle Times has written an article for the paper where she compares the recent Superman Returns to Smallville, with a preference going to the TV version of the Man of Steel.

Here's a sampling:

If the grown-up Clark Kent's lover is Lois Lane, what on earth will happen to Lana? And the Lois of "Smallville" is so hard-headed and stubborn that Clark finds her downright obnoxious — so how and when, exactly, do they turn into lovers? Plus, although Clark and Lex Luthor aren't exactly getting along, they don't hate each other. What's going to happen that's so drastic it would turn them into arch-enemies?

Smallville-Related Happenings At The Comic-Con International in San Diego!
Although there is no Smallville panel scheduled for the Comic-Con International in San Diego, which begins today and runs through July 23, there are a few items of interest that fans of the show may enjoy:

• Paul Wesley (formerly "Wasilewski") played Lucas Luthor in the Season Two Smallville episode "Prodigal." Now he's in a new ABC Family movie called Fallen. Not only is Fallen being heavily promoted at Comic-Con, but there's also a Fallen panel and autograph signing featuring Paul scheduled for Saturday. (Booth 3817)
• Former Smallville supervising producer Jeph Loeb and former Smallville/Aquaman director Greg Beeman are both involved in a new NBC program called Heroes, where seemingly unconnected people across the world begin having super abilities of their own. There's a Heroes booth where they will be giving out collectible buttons and an exclusive Tim Sale comic book, and then on Friday afternoon at 12:30, there will be an exclusive screening of a 72-minute cut of the Heroes pilot! Plus: What is 9thWonders? (Booth 3912; screening in Room 6CDEF)
• Jeph Loeb is also on a panel on Saturday presented by TV Guide, where he, along with such TV luminaries as David Goyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Bryan Fuller, and Frank Spotnitz discuss current sci-fi/fantasy television series. (3:30 Saturday in Room 20)
• A "Superman Through The Ages" DVD panel hosted by Warner Home Video has some guests from the classic movies, and promises guests from various Superman TV series, but we haven't heard any kind of confirmation as to if anyone from Smallville will be attending. (1:00 Friday in Room 20)
• The DK Publishing booth has a preview copy of Smallville: The Visual Guide, written by KryptonSite's own Craig Byrne! Take a look at it at Booth 5449 - and tell them you heard about it at KryptonSite! There's also a DK panel on Thursday at 2PM in Room 1B; in case you want to ask them about the Guide and show your support!

Aaron Ashmore Joins The Cast Of Smallville
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has revealed that Aaron Ashmore, possibly best known for playing "Troy Vandegraff" on Veronica Mars, will be joining the cast of Smallville in a very important new role - so important that, at least for now, we're not posting it on this main page because it's a big SPOILER!

Look! Up In The Sky! Superman Documentary Airs Tonight
The A&E cable network in the United States will be premiering their documentary, Look! Up In The Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman tonight.

The documentary takes a look at the history of the Superman character in the media, from the classic Fleischer cartoons and movie serials all the way through to this summer's Superman Returns.

Smallville is included in several minutes of the documentary, mostly using clips from the series pilot. (Though clips from "Arrival," "Tempest," "Rosetta," and "X-Ray" are incorporated). Annette O'Toole (Martha Kent) and series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are interviewed, as is two-time Smallville guest Margot Kidder. Sadly, KryptonSite's favorite Superman, Tom Welling, is not present; though his immediate predecessor, Dean Cain of Lois & Clark fame, is.

The piece has already been reviewed favorably online in some places.

The special airs at 8PM (ET) June 12 on A&E. Click here to see a trailer.

Note: A special version of this documentary that clocks in a half hour longer will be released on DVD next week. Click here to order your copy! Chances are that the longer version will have even more Smallville goodness - and at under 10 bucks, how can you go wrong?

Some Hope That We'll Someday See Aquaman?
WizardUniverse.com has posted an interview with executive producer Alfred Gough where he talks about the Aquaman pilot and promises that it will be seen by the masses at some point.

Aquaman, from the creators of Smallville, was hoped to reinvent the character for a new audience, much like Smallville did with Superman. Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar were behind the series pilot, which was directed by Greg Beeman.

Here's an excerpt from the interview:

"We’re working on a way to get the pilot out there. That’s sort of all I can say at the moment. Whether it’s some sort of addition on season six of “Smallville” or not—we’re really proud of the pilot. We’d love for the fans to get a chance to see it. The implication when a network doesn’t pick up a show is that the pilot sucks and that’s not the case. It’s not a perfect pilot by any stretch of the imagination. There are other reasons—which are a mystery to us—as to why The CW didn’t pick it up. I think it definitely puts Aquaman in a modern context and he’s not lame. It’s a shame because it would have been a really fun series."

Reminder: Smallville Effects Wizards At VES Festival
Artists, supervisors and producers from EntityFX (the company that handles the special effects for Smallville) will be participating in a 75 minute discussion and slide show at the Visual Effects Society's 2006 Festival of Visual Effects.

The discussion will also include a question and answer session. The event, which will be held in Hollywood, is open to the public though of course, there is a cost for tickets. The Smallville event is described as follows:

Creating Super Effects on a TV Budget: It’s a Big Job at “Smallville” / 3:00 - 4:30 pm
With over 100 episodes aired over 5 seasons, the Warner Bros. television series “Smallville” has achieved a remarkably mature status for an episodic drama based on the teenage adventures of Clark Kent, before he assumes the alter ego of Superman. During the past four seasons, Entity FX created the visual effects that in a large part drive the show. Join the producers of “Smallville” and the staff of Entity as they explain and demonstrate what makes visual effects production of a weekly network series a unique challenge The panel will focus on how the Entity team spurred a creative evolution by developing a strategy to achieve economic production and how that strategy helped to overcome the artistic, budgetary and time limitations common to television production. Panelists: Mat Beck, Kymber Lim, Eli Jarra, Noriaki "Jack" Matsumoto, Ken Horton, John Wash – all from Entity FX

Rosenbaum, Ashmore At Superman Returns Premiere
Smallville's Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum, as well as "Leech" guest star Shawn Ashmore (Eric Summers) were both present for the premiere of the new film, Superman Returns, in Westwood (Los Angeles), California, on June 21.

Rosenbaum even posed for some photos with his older Lex Luthor counterpart, Kevin Spacey. Thankfully, nothing along the lines of the Blinovitch Limitation Effect occurred to create a time anomaly.

Lois & Clark's Superman, Dean Cain, was also present. He was seen in some photos with Eva Longoria, no doubt sharing Teri Hatcher horror stories.

Smallville Among Entertainment Weekly's WB Highlights
The June 2, 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine takes a look at some of the highlights of the 11-year history of the soon-to-depart WB Network.

It's a nostalgic look at some of The WB's best and most memorable moments, good and bad (from Buffy all the way through to Felicity's haircut). They remember who Mary Cherry is, so it's definitely well-informed.

#11 on their list was "Smallville Institutes A No-Fly Zone." Here's what they had to say:

"When you
