Seriously, who is Clark Kent going to be fighting next on Smallville, midgets from outer space? The show is already in its eight season, with a ninth season on the horizon, and word from Entertainment Weekly is that Tom Welling, the show’s star, is “close” to signing on for a ninth season, but the deal is still a work in progress. Translation: If they want him, they better pay him a hell of a lot of money per episode, because at this point is there really any reason to do another season of Smallville except to squeeze as much blood out of this stone as possible?
From EW:
Yes, there’s news, and it’s good. Some would even call it, ahem, super. According to a well-placed Smallville insider, Welling is nearing a deal to return for a ninth season. I’m told they’re just ironing out some minor deal points, such as should the Brinks Truck pull into the actor’s driveway, or just unload on the street.
What I said.
Anyways, a ninth year of Smallville. Now I’m not a regular watcher of the show or anything, but Tom Welling has GOT to be getting up there in years after nine years. He was already in his ’20s when the show started, so what’s he now, in his ’30s? I’m just saying. Time to put on the red cape and get on with it, guys.
Below: Superman may be immortal, but his castmates aren’t.
