The
Latest Rumors On Who's Staying, and Who's Going
For Season 8
UPDATED
3-12-08
Here's
the latest buzz on who's staying and who's going
for the already-ordered Season 8 of Smallville:
Tom
Welling (Clark) is already contracted to
appear in Season 8.
The
contracts for Michael Rosenbaum (Lex),
Allison Mack (Chloe), and Kristin Kreuk
(Lana) conclude with the end of Season Seven.
However, Kristin is expected to appear in at
least part of Season 8.
It
has been announced that Michael
Rosenbaum will not be returning as a series
regular for Season 8.
The studio and network are currently negotiating
with Allison to make a deal for her to return
as Chloe in Season 8. Contrary to some reports,
no deal has been made yet.
Erica
Durance (Lois), Aaron Ashmore (Jimmy),
and Laura Vandervoort (Kara), are all
said to be contracted for Season 8.
John
Glover (Lionel) did have a contract taking
him through Season 8, but clearly there was
a change in plans and he departed the series
with "Descent."
James
Marsters (Brainiac) has expressed interest
in returning for more Smallville in the show's
eighth year.

Kristin
Kreuk To Play Chun-Li In Street Fighter
Movie?
POSTED
12-21-07; UPDATED
ComingSoon.net
is reporting that Kristin Kreuk will be playing
the lead in the upcoming film Street Fighter:
The Legend of Chun-Li. The film is set to shoot
in Thailand in March.
UPDATED:
Kristin IS doing Street Fighter. We're
not sure how or if this would affect her Smallville
filming schedule.
Kevin
Sorbo Coming To Smallville?
POSTED
9-2-07; UPDATED
At
the recent DragonCon convention in Atlanta,
it was allegedly said by one-time Hercules
actor Kevin Sorbo that he would soon be appearing
on Smallville. He didn't specify what
the role would be.
Originally
we reported that chances are very good that
he might be playing Zor-El, Kryptonian father
to Kara (aka Supergirl) in the episode "Lara."
We've now been corrected as the
Starkville House of El
website has talked to Mr. Sorbo himself.
"Nothing
official, only that if I am available towards
the end of the year, the want me for a 3-4 episode
arc," is the word from Mr. Sorbo.
Sorbo
has a Superman connection, having been one of
the final contenders for the role of Clark Kent
on Lois & Clark.
UPDATED:
No word on if this is still going to happen
with the shorter season.
UPDATE:
Tom Approached For Justice League Movie?
POSTED
8-25-07
On
the August 24 edition of G4TV's Attack of
the Show and IESB.net,
it was reported that Tom Welling has been approached
to play the Man of Steel for Warner Bros.' big-screen
movie adaptation of the Justice League of
America.
This
morning, we received word from Smallville's
executive producer and creator Alfred Gough
that this is not the case.
"Completely
false. Hasn't been approached. He's under contract
to the show through season 8," Gough says.
The
Superman
Homepage heard a similar report last night
when they seeked confirmation from Gough. "Hasn't
happened, won't happen," Gough told them.
IESB
still stands by their story. "We have triple
checked this out and all indications are that
Tom Welling in fact is a go on the WB side,"
IESB's Robert Sanchez said. "I rechecked
with my sources and they are all still saying
yes, yes Tom Welling, yes Justice League, yes
production starts early next year and yes Smallville
will have to work around it. Believe me, the
IESB will be the first to post a retraction
on a story if we are proved wrong, but right
now, this is what we are hearing."
Prior
to this rumor's surfacing all indications had
pointed to Tom having very little interest in
ever wearing tights. If it happens, though,
it sounds like the studio would have to wait
until AFTER Tom's eight-year Smallville contract
is up.
Supergirl
Spin-Off In The Works?
POSTED
7-27-07
Smallville
adds Laura Vandervoort as Kal-El's Kryptonian
cousin Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. But might
there be more planned for her character than
just a Smallville guest run?
An
interview with Vandervoort's grandfather
implies that following her Smallville
stint, Kara will be going off to her own series.
Smallville's
creators and the show's publicity have not said
anything about a spin-off, which is why we're
putting this one on Rumorville for now.
