HNR Interviews Tom Welling
Source: HNR

The Hollywood North Report website has posted a new interview with Tom Welling from the set of "The Fog." The advantage they had, though, was that since Tom isn't really allowed to discuss his new movie, he instead talked about Smallville!

You can read the entire interview, conducted by Robert Falconer, here. Here's a sample from the interview, where Tom talks whether it's more interesting to play a villain instead of a hero:

"The quick answer is yes. I’m not sure if that comes out of an ultimate understanding of playing villains as being more fun, or if it’s because I rarely get to play them and the few times that I have, I had such a great time because it’s so much different from what I ordinarily play. Obviously, people say that change is as good as a holiday, but at least in the case of our show, I think when you have characters like Lionel Luthor – who have so much going on, and it’s dark and it’s dirty and it’s conniving and it’s manipulative – there’s a lot more you can do in a scene. On the other hand, if you’re playing a person who is just trying to help all the time, I find you’re following…you’re not leading so much. A character like Lionel Luthor can just make things happen. A character like Clark is always trying to figure things out and make things better. It’s a trick to make the hero more proactive than reactive. Ultimately, I think playing different characters – whatever they may be – is always good."

"Commencement" Review!

Michael Rosenbaum Is Full Of Sith
Michael Rosenbaum was one of the celebrity actors who offered their opinions of the new Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith, at StarWars.com.

"I was torn for Anakin Skywalker because the Jedi put him in this position in a way, so you feel more for the villain," Rosenbaum explained at the site. "I loved it because it was darker, action-packed and everything a Star Wars fan wants out of the final episode. It's so much more than I ever imagined. Right when the film finished I went from this overwhelming joy to this depression. I had to lie down."

"I came here with my friends on a road trip from Los Angeles in my conversion van," Rosenbaum continued. "We were playing the Star Wars DVDs in the van on the way here. I was walking around on the Ranch in my Lucas Ranch robe, and I was playing with the lightsabers like a kid. And then all of a sudden this movie ends and I became incredibly sad because part of my childhood lives on with these films. But deep down I know that Star Wars will always be around. That's one thing I always love about Star Wars is that it's a constant conversation piece. Star Wars characters are universal, like Superman or Mickey Mouse. It's iconic and there forever."

"When I went to the theater and I saw all these other actors just tear up while watching the film; it affected everyone," Rosenbaum adds. "Everything about this movie from the music to the CGI to the actors to the story is just overwhelming. I'm just blown away by the whole thing. This was the best day of my life. My friends and I are speechless. I recommend everyone go see this film."

Some editorializing here from KryptonSite: We agree, you will likely not be disappointed - and hey, you may even see some parallels between Smallville and Star Wars!

Glover & Rosenbaum Talk "Forever" In Cult Times
Special thanks to: GL2000

Issue #117 of Cult Times magazine features interviews from the set of the "Forever" episode of Smallville courtesy of Thomasina Gibson. Within the article are quotes from John Glover (Lionel) and Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) where they specifically discuss "Forever.

“What I do with Michael [Rosenbaum] is we work on the yin and the yang of our relationship and in this episode there was just a beautiful, easy kind of quality that I think we found once Jensen and Jane had gone away. That is the thing that comes to mind that I hope when it comes together will be very strong. That’s what’s so beautiful about working with Michael. We totally give and complement each other. What the writers have written about the relationship is that there is a very deep love and a longing to love and trust each other but it just keeps getting demolished all the time," Glover said about the episode.

Season Finale Ratings!
Smallville's fourth season finale showed significant improvement in ratings despite heavy competition including a new episode of Lost and season finales of That 70's Show and America's Next Top Model. (70's marked the last appearance of Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace on the show. Next season should be scary in the "Happy Days after Richie and Ralph left" sort of way).

Here's the overnight-ratings breakdown. We've split it up into the first hour, and that last half hour, in case you're curious:

(R) denotes repeat airing - (SF) stands for "Season Finale"

Smallville season finale episodes are usually the ones that pull out all the stops and keep us guessing for the entire summer. Tonight's episode should be no exception.

As a bonus to make us anticipate the episode even more, they've upped the episode length to 90 minutes which will include a ten-minute preview of the highly-anticipated "Batman Begins" movie.

Smallville Flies To Thursdays For Season 5
The WB's Fall 2005 schedule has been announced, and Smallville is finally leaving its very-busy Wednesday-at-8 timeslot.

Look for Clark & the crew to be on Thursday nights as they take on their college years starting this Fall. Joining them at 9PM will be Everwood.

Here's how the WB describes the new season on their official website (not TOO spoilery, but be warned just in case):

Smallville continues to successfully explore the legacy of one of America's greatest cultural icons. With a rabid fanbase and 3 top-selling seasons on DVD, it's clear that Clark Kent's journey into manhood will keep on thrilling millions of young adult WB viewers.

For Clark (Tom Welling), now the most eligible bachelor in Kansas, it's hard hiding his extraordinary gifts behind farmboy flannel. Now he's off to college, enrolling close to his home (and sweetheart Lana), but still heeding the call of his Kryptonian destiny. Remaining true to the original mythology, Clark finds himself traveling great distances to unlock his true potential. Lex Luthor, meanwhile, continues battling for control of his father's company as he comes to realize his own destiny, one bent on power, destruction, and revenge.

The move to Thursdays also brings out some new competition - sitcoms (Joey and Will & Grace) on NBC, and ABC's Alias is moving to the same time slot. All of the networks have not yet announced their plans, so The O.C. and Survivor may also still be on Thursdays at 8 too.

“This season, we're making a bold statement on Thursday nights by moving one of our signature hits, Smallville to 8:00,” WB Entertainment President David Janollari said in a press release. “The show faced some of the toughest competition of any series on television this season, going up against Lost every week, yet it continued to deliver great ratings, ” he said.. “With the critically acclaimed drama Everwood moving into the 9:00 timeslot, we think Thursday will be one of the most compelling nights of the upcoming season. Led by Treat Williams, Everwood features one of the strongest ensemble casts and some of the best writing on television.”

The Many Faces Of... Batman
What does Batman have to do with Smallville, you ask? Well, there's a 10-minute preview of "Batman Begins" airing with the season finale on Wednesday night, so we figured it'd be the perfect time for Russ Dimino to break out "The Many Faces Of... Batman!"

The track doesn't seem to be commercially available at this time. For more on the music of Smallville, visit KryptonSite's Smallville Music Page!

Allison Mack Interview, Part 2
Part 2 of Allison Mack Online's exclusive interview with Chloe Sullivan herself, Allison Mack has now been posted.

Here's a sampling from Part 2, where Allison talks about any potential rivalry between Chloe and Lois:

"I don’t like to pit them up against each other, because I don’t think that there is any competition between the two of them. I think that Lois really softens Chloe because the majority of the situations we’ve seen Chloe in, she’s been the most aggressive, the sort-of most mature, the most intelligent out of the people that she’s been around, whereas with Lois she’s grown up with Lois—she’s grown up sort of like Lois’ little sister kind of like, tagging along being, sort of, under her. So any time Lois is around Chloe steps out of the power position and Lois takes over. You can see a really interesting side of Chloe just because she’s never really pushed control to someone as much as she does to Lois and sort of taken the back seat to the power position as much as she does to Lois. So it introduces a really great dynamic to my character because it shows a specific side to her that you haven’t seen before."
