Summer TCA: More Spoilers & Details! We
caught up with a few of the folks behind Smallville at
the 2005 TCA Summer Press Tour in Los Angeles, California which
was held on July 22. Some of the questions you all have been
wondering about have been answered:
For fans
concerned about Chloe's future, here's Greg Beeman: "I
think is going to be Chloe's best year," he says. "And
when Allison Mack read episode one, episode two, and episode
three, she came up to me and she went, like, 'I'm going to
have a great year aren't I?' The main thing that's really
fun is, now that she knows Clark's secret, they have this
partnership, and they function as partners in a really fun
way where they give each other a lot of grief, and she can
do things that Clark can't do, whether he has his powers or
not."
As for
what fans have to look forward to in the fifth season, Beeman
offers this hint: "If it all works out, the action sequence
in episode three is maybe going to be one of the most exciting
things we've ever done."
Executive
Producer Alfred Gough tells us that James Marsters is planned
for 7 episodes, but there is an option for more episodes after
that.
Tom Welling
will be directing some episodes in Smallville's fifth
season, in the latter part of the season.
Tom Wopat
will be showing up in episode #6.
Answering
the question of who will be going to what school: Clark will
be at Central Kansas University, Chloe will be at Met U, and
Lana will eventually be at Met U.
When
asked if Jensen Ackles will be returning as Jason for the
Season Five premiere, Al Gough tells us no. "He's deader
than Elvis right now," he reveals.
Gough
tells us a little more about Smallville's version of
Aquaman: "This incarnation of Aquaman is sort of a young
environmentalist, and what he's going to do is to teach Clark
to think a little more globally with his super-powers rather
than just locally." Spoilers
for Episode #5-4, "Aqua," are at the KryptonSite
Spoilers Page.
Any chance
of an Aquaman spin-off series? "I doubt it," Gough
says. "We may bring him back like the Flash for other
episodes, but now I hear because of the sort of success of
Entourage, the studio is going to start developing a feature
of Aquaman."
And will
the Flash be coming back? "You could potentially see
him again. There are no plans at the moment, but we're definitely
open. He's [Kyle Gallner] on Veronica
Mars, but he's only in, I think, like 12 out of 22,
so we can use him again."
There
might be another DC Comics super-hero in the back part of
Season Five.
They
are not planning for Season 5 to be the show's last. Instead,
they are planning for six, and maybe seven at the most.
The "powerless
Clark" storyline, which begins early in the season, will
not continue for as long as you may think. It sounds to us
like his powers will be back by the end of the season's third
episode, which is titled "Hidden," and that they
return in a very cool way.
Erica
Durance will be in the Season 5 opening credits as Lois Lane.
NEW!
Miles
Millar reveals that those who have been hoping for a Clark
and Lana relationship will be in luck. "Clark and Lana
will actually date this year, which is a Smallville first,"
he said. "They've been talking about it for five years,
we thought it was time for them to actually do something about
it." And could Lana handle Clark's secret? "That's
the question that haunts Clark every day of his life. Should
he risk telling her or not. You'll have to wait and see what
he does."
NEW!
Will Miles Millar direct again, possibly a sequel to "Memoria?"
"I'm planning to direct later this year," he told
KryptonSite. "I had a blast shooting Memoria, but it's
all about timing. It's such a different experience from writing
and it was great interacting with the cast and crew on a different
level."
