Reconsidering AP's Watchdog forum

Hey folks, as many of you already know, the majority of the action has moved over to the Apologist Puncher's new Watchdog forum, which can be found at http://supermanfilmwatchdog.forum-motion.ca/forum.htm.

Honestly, I don't foresee too many more updates being made here. AP's Superman Watchdog forum has absorbed the majority of posters from here and so maintaining this blog would be, at best, redundant.

So click over to http://supermanfilmwatchdog.forum-motion.ca/forum.htm and join in on the discussion.

Reconsidering Homecoming, Episode #200

Homecoming, Smallville's 200th episode, airs tomorrow night. The conjecture is that we may see Tom Welling playing a future version of Superman and wearing The Suit.

Either way, the show's been firing on all cylinders and has been a lot more interesting than the reboot sounds so far. Speaking of which, keep an eye out for a poll here concerning casting for the film.

Finally, after episode's over, don't forget to head on over to the Apologist Puncher's Superman Film Watchdog forum to talk about it.

New Forum

Hey all, we've all got a new forum to join in now. One of the staunchest and most consist of our fraternity, the Apologist Puncher, has launched this forum to restore some of the convenience of a message board that we used to have.

Feel free to head on over to the new forum at http://supermanfilmwatchdog.forum-motion.ca, register and join in on the conversation.

And, of course, thanks to AP for setting it all up for us. Kudos to you, sir!

Personally, if that forum were to entirely take the place of this blog, that would be fine by me.

Zack Snyder is directing the Superman reboot

As you all have no doubt been made aware, the Superman reboot apparently has a director: Zack Snyder.

At this point, we know that Chris Nolan is producing the film, David Goyer is writing it and now Snyder is directing it.

The entire purpose of this effort is far from complete however. What kind of script is Goyer writing? Is it something that pays tribute to the character and his history? Or is it yet another attempt at "modernization"?

To what extent will Nolan's influence be felt upon the production?

Will Nolan and Snyder be able to put aside their jaded view of humanity so prevalent in their respective films and emphasize the warmth, optimism and hope that have defined Superman for decades?

Can we at least be sure that Blandon Routh won't be coming back?

This is far from over.

Episode 200- Homecoming photos

http://www.supermansupersite.com/08171151.html

The Superman Supersite has posted several pictures which were taken on Monday, 08.16.2010 as members of the 'Smallville' cast and crew shoot scenes from Episode 200, Homecoming.

While not too heavily spoilery, the clothing and the location of the shoot could indicate a flashback or perhaps two of the characters going out on assignment to a location that the 'Smallville' production has not been to in quite some time.

Speculation?

Sam and Lucy are coming back

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Smallville-Michael-Ironside-1021736.aspx

General Sam Lane (Michael Ironside) and Lucy Lane (Peyton List) are coming back to 'Smallville'. K-Site and other places are running with that.

I'm interested to see what's coming, to be honest. We haven't seen either of those characters since the unspeakably lousy season 4. The series is usually good at bringing characters back and coming up with an intelligent justification for doing so. Most of the time. Let's hope this is no different.

The gossip is that Sam's return somehow is related to Lex Luthor. Dare we hope?

Anyway. Episode airs in October.
