Smallville Movie - Who Should Star in it?
IAPW
only Tom Welling from the original cast and starring other people in the
other roles. Here are my thoughts on who should star in the Smallville
movie.
Clark Kent - Tom Welling. Tom Welling has shown extreme maturity as the
young lad from Kryptonite. Welling is able to express both sides of Clark
Kent - his earnest desire to help others in need, and his desire to live a
normal life bereft of his extraordinary abilities. The constant struggle
between his two desires is what captures the viewers' attention, and it
this constant struggle which Tom Welling is able to express superbly
without peer. Bravo Tom!
Lois Lane - Lindsay Lohan. This Mean Girl has all of the prerequisites to
be the Lois Lane ever - including the double L's which make up the
initials of her name. As the current Queen of the Teen Queens, she has
shown the unique ability to connect to her audience, both male and female,
the traumas of adolescent youth. Girls are able to see her as an ordinary
yet smart and clever girl who one want to a best friend, and boys are able
to see her as a sexy red hair starlet who one would want to date not only
for her looks but for her mind. She is both beautiful and yet exudes
strength of will - both qualities which a modern day Lois Lane must have.
Lindsay, you go girl!
Pete Ross - Chad Micheal Murray. Chad Micheal Murray is the current king
of male teen flick heartthrobs. Having wooed and wowed Alexis Bledel,
Lindsay Lohan, and Hilary Duff, Chad Micheal Murray would stop the hearts
of all teen girls and tween girls who watch Smallville. Yet, as he has
show in One Tree Hill, he is also able to portray a devoted best friend.
If anyone deserves to have 3 first names Chad Micheal Murray does. Yea
Chad Micheal Murray!
Lana Lang - Amanda Bynes. Sexy, Funny - when those 2 words are spoken, the
immediate thought is of the young lady who personifies those words -
Amanda Bynes. With her acerbic wit and flawlessly executed pratfalls,
Amanda would make people of all ages laugh with her. Never at a loss for
words and endlessly funny yet also charming and beautiful, young viewers
would understand why Clark could not take her eyes off Amanda Byne's Lana
Lang. We luv ya Amanda!
Jimmy Olsen - Adam Brody. As Seth in The O.C., he has ably portrayed a
lanky socially awkward youth who's ultimate pursuit is Summer. As Jimmy
Olsen, he has the chance to play another socially awkward youth who's
maturing in to adulthood. Adam Brody is the every man of the current
youth generation and what is Jimmy Olsen but the every man of youths? Go
get 'em Adam!
Chloe Sullivan - Mischa Barton. Whether she be Jessie's lesbian
girlfriend in Once and Again or the object of obsession in the OC, Mischa
Barton has never been anything but lovely. Strong-headed yet loyal, this
cousin of Lois Lane will be Clark's constant thorn who is constantly
trying to discover his secrets. Love and kisses, Mischa!
Lex Luthor - Ashton Kutcher. Yes, Lex Luthor is evil. And what could be
more evil than to be punk'd? This lovable bad boy would be perfect as the
teenage Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor would try to punk unsuspecting passerbys
and Clark Kent would save the innocent victims from Lex's despicable
pranks. We hate ya and luv ya Ashton!
Supergirl (Kara) - Hilary Duff. Already a mega star around the world with
countless legions following her every move, Hilary Duff would cap off her
career as the young girl from Krypton Kara. Contrasted with the dark and
moody Clark Kent, Kara is bubbly and enthusiastic. And who could be more
bubbly and enthusiastic than Hilary Duff? Best wishes, Hilary!

I guess my first thought is to ask why any of the cast of Smallville would
need to be replaced in a feature film? I mean, is Kristen Kreuk, at 20 years
of age, too old to play Lana Lang anymore? Are the late teen/early
twenty-something cast members over the hill already? Your cast list read
like a whose who of Tiger Beat magazine. Ashton Kutcher as Lex Luthor? Why
not just stick Harvey Feirstein in the role and kill off the series for
good?

You have _got_ to be joking. First of all, the guy from "Dude, Where's My
Car?" as misunderstood rich kid with the potential for evil? Secondly, you
don't replace the best actor in the series with someone with about .01% of
the talent.

This is actually doable. However, I think Kara is best left to her own
movie and out of Smallville continuity, at least for now.

Yeesh, what a long winded way to say 'great rack'
IO
your list of actors, but no doubt that reflects my age.
However, as far as replacing any of the existing cast, Kristin Kruek
is doing a great job as Lana, but even more so, Michael Rosenbaum as
Lex is probably the single strongest actor of a generally excellent
cast. Can't imagine any reason to replace these people.
By the way, wouldn't Superman make occasional visits back to the farm?
Annette O'Toole and John Schneider should be in any movie as well.

Aw, c'm'on, that's the best you could do? He's grown into the role on
TV, yes, but we could do better. I'll take John Chodes, although I
don't know if he's acting these days. Come to think of it, I don't
think I've ever known him to do anything besides write, direct, and
produce, but I THINK he'd be good at acting.

What, like they're going to splice in footage from the TV show? Why
would anyone perceive a sudden change otherwise?

Cause this hypothetical movie is billed "Smallville" and viewers
might remember Clark's former best friend who moved away. Even if he did
get only three lines per episode.

It seems we have different standards for "fat" when it comes to regular

So? Are they going to have a hell of a time explaining why there are
no commercials too? Or why there's a projector running?
Why should Pete's "change" in skin color need any more explaining than
the "changes" in appearance of the other characters who were re-cast?
If two people tell the same story, is it a problem that they don't
have the same voice?
> (If not, why mention Chloe at all?)
There's a difference between roles and actors. The actors are only
playing the roles; that's all they're there for. Changing the actor
doesn't change the role any more than changing the newscaster changes
the news. You get a different delivery, that's all.

What do you mean, "without powers"? How about total B.S.
marksmanship, the ability to tie a rope in an eyeblink, practically
psychic knowledge...and in the finale, the trick with the wire in the
ear? Just as with Superman, they kept ramping up his powers along
with the humor as the series progressed.

I have no idea what either of those have to do with anything.

Because you expect a certain level of consistency when trying to tell a
continuous story. There's a reason why white roles are rarely recast black,
and vice versa. The difference in appearance is _too_ abrupt.

You seem to think differences between the TV show and a movie would
need to be explained.

So the first time he's shown on screen, hang a little title on him
saying "Pete Ross", and a picture of Sam Jones in parentheses. Or
just colorize him dark, and slowly lighten him as the scene goes on.

You forget that in the odd time that a television show spawns a theatrical
movie, as many of the television actors as possible are used in the movie.
This is because the target audience are the fans of the television show. So
changing the actors is something the producers will be very hesitant to do.
Fans are invested not just in the story but in the actors, as well.
If you are talking about a Smallville movie after the series ends, that is
another story. It is unlikely that such a thing would take place, as series
are most often cancelled for low ratings (i.e. not enough people care to
watch). However, if a movie is made next year or the following, most of the
actors you listed will have returned to obscurity.

But he could sing, box, understand obscure languages (including wolf),
charm ladies, and withstand all types of deprivation. Superman
resists bullets, but I doubt he could beat Frazier in a staring
contest or any of various other types of endurance.
Frazier's powers were like those of the G-man in "Twin Peaks" --
relatively subtle but total bull shit.

In the concluding episode, he "read" electronic data xmission by

Besides the wolf language understanding you just described Bats, but
give him enough time... ;O)
I understand what you are saying, but it kinda kept up that whole,
"there's more to mounties from the frozen tundra, than you would
think" theme that ran throughout the entire show.
It kinda lost something when they moved production to Canada and lost
the Ray character, but it was still enjoyable. I think that in those
last coupla seasons they knew that it would end soon so they just
tried to outdo themselves with silly ideas.
Lynley
Brent McKee
The production was always in Canada. The first two season (the CBS
seasons) were shot in Toronto and area just like the non-Ray
season(s -- in Canada the last 20 some episodes were split into two
season). The big difference was where the money was coming from.
Seasons 1 and 2 were a partnership between CBS and CTV with
Alliance-Atlantis as the production house. Season 3/4 was CTV with
BBC and one of the German networks and Alliance-Atlantis producing.

You sure? I read somewher when the show aired here that it was filmed
in Chicago for the first 2 seasons and when CBS cancelled it they
moved up north.
Lynley
Brent McKee
I'm sure. The pilot was partially shot in Chicago but after that most
of the "obvious" Chicago scenes were stock shots that had been made
during the shoot for the pilot, and in truth there weren't that many
scenes that were "obviously" Chicago. In fact, this website
http://home.hiwaay.net/~warydbom/duesouth/location.htm
lists most if not all of the locations used for each episode of the
series.
