Smallville Buys More Set Space? UPDATED
12-10-09
In this day and age, Twitter is often a place where all kinds of things can come out.
The YVRFilm Twitter apparently seems to cover announcements and news regarding the Vancouver film industry. Yesterday, they posted this:
@YVRFilm Smallville has purchased more surrounding buildings to expand their Burnaby studio space
Now, Smallville is likely shooting somewhere around the 13th or 14th episode of Season Nine. Why would they be expanding their studio if the show could be ending only 8 or 9 episodes later? Could this mean Season 10 is happening?
Either way, fans asked, and YVRFilm responded yet again.
@YVRFilm Smallville SpinOffs to consider also
So, could the spin-off idea be still explored? Or - provided any of this is even for real - could this extra space be to finally give Lois an apartment? Or, Smallville theories aside - maybe the set space is created so producer Tom Welling could shoot the Cheer pilot in Vancouver? (If it's even shooting, and if it's even shooting in Vancouver)
No sources aside from YVRFilm have confirmed any of this to be true, and the studio has not confirmed or denied this to be true, so this one's labeled just in the Rumorville category for now, as it is only speculation at this point. However, if it is true, the news should be encouraging... and especially if "Absolute Justice" ratings are big, the adventures of a "young" Clark Kent could very well go into a tenth year.
(But if there is a spin-off, can Geoff Johns be involved? That would totally rope in a lot of people...)
Allison Mack Confirms Season 10 For Welling? Plus, Details On Her Own Future UPDATED
5-11-09
In an interview with indieWIRE's Matt Dentler to promote her new film You, Allison Mack (Chloe) has confirmed the rumors (below) that Tom Welling has signed for a 10th season. It also appears she has confirmed her character's season finale survival; unless, of course, she was being crafty with her words.
Here's what she had to say:
"The latest with Smallville is that we have another season [after this season’s finale on May 14]. Tom has signed for two more, so the show will go until season 10. I will be completed with my contract next year, and I am looking for new and exciting ways to carry out my character’s exit. I love living in Vancouver, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I love the people, the food, the aesthetic, and the life I have built here. It’s wonderful."
Smallville has now officially been renewed for a ninth season, but don't count out the possibility of a spin-off just yet.
With Smallville's ratings being what they are, The CW might want to keep things going in the TV-DC Universe a bit more. No ideas yet on casting or concept, or if this is anything more than a rumor, but it's something to think about....
