The cast of Smallville reminisces about the demanding production process of the long-running superhero series, highlighting the tireless work of the crew behind the scenes. The article also explores the possibility of an animated sequel, the current status of a Superman project with Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum, and the upcoming release of the new Superman film.
The streaming landscape has shifted, with new seasons of TV shows often consisting of just 10 episodes, and in some cases, even shorter runs. This contrasts starkly with the 20-episode seasons that were commonplace during the early 2000s, when shows like Smallville aired.
Recently, the cast of Smallville, including Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), Tom Welling (Clark Kent), Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang), and Erica Durance (Lois Lane), reminisced about the intense production process they endured weekly during the show's run. Participating in a panel at MegaCon, the actors revealed that they sometimes received scripts only days before filming commenced, and numerous changes were implemented on the fly. This rapid-fire approach left them with little time to fully grasp the collaborative effort that unfolded daily on set.Rosenbaum shared that only now, as he revisits the series, can he truly appreciate the intricate mechanisms that powered the creation of the show's staggering 217 episodes. He acknowledged the tireless work of the entire crew, from makeup and hair to wardrobe, technical and post-production, stating, 'I would just say that I'm looking back now and watching the show and I'm really appreciative of how hard everyone worked. And that's not just us, the crew worked incredibly long hours and put so much of their hearts on this and everyone from make-up and hair to wardrobe, technical, post-production. Those guys were working around the clock so everyone put so much love into the show and so everyone needs to be, you know, appreciated.'Rumors have persisted about a potential animated Smallville sequel, spearheaded by Rosenbaum and Welling. However, the project has yet to gain momentum, with Welling recently revealing that it's not a top priority for Warner Bros. Despite this, Welling expressed his enthusiasm for a reunion with Rosenbaum, stating that 'it'd be fun' to collaborate again, although they are patiently awaiting the green light. The legacy of Superman, however, transcends any singular iteration. David Corenswet will portray the iconic hero in the upcoming film, with Nicholas Hoult cast as Lex Luthor. James Gunn directs and writes the script, aiming to kickstart a new DC cinematic universe. With expectations soaring, Superman is slated to premiere in theaters on July 11th. In the meantime, all 10 seasons of Smallville are available for streaming on Max
