I cant wait to see society/legends. Great news today that CW was doing a smart move and going to air them together. Cant wait to see how this "TV MOVIE EVENT" goes. Now i really cant wait for first photos/promos to come out. I totally bet ratings are going to be nuts for the night.
ReplyDeletecool pandora and idol clips. Cant wait to see how these two episodes will turn out. Idol looks to be a nice light and fun episode. To we get the following week another story arc episode.
I said in the other thread great that Pam grier was cast as amanda waller. Totally cant wait to see what they have in store for her multi episode arc.
Some quotes from michael shanks on hawkman and welling directing him:
ReplyDeleteOriginally quotes can be found at his official website.
He is currently filming his episodes of Smallville, advising the audience that "those of you doing the 'suave Michael' photo shoot later on, I can't shave... I'm working on Smallville right now and Hawkman has a beard and he's old and grizzled. Somewhere along the line I went from being a young ingénue to being old and grizzled."
» Still on the subject of Smallville, Michael revealed that his character will not be costumed as the traditional bare-chested Hawkman because "the way that they're doing the wings for the character, and the flying rig, they have to use this practical harness, so they had to build a breastplate to hide all the strapping and stuff... so no bare-chested Hawkman."
» And further on the costume, "the wing-span is thirteen feet. I thought it was ten and... I was talking to Tom Welling, who's directing the second episode, and I said 'How are you going to do this, dude? 'Cos it's pretty... I take up a lot of space. When I turn, I knock crap over! I said 'have you seen me in this outfit?' He said 'No'. I said 'Maybe you should, 'cos I'm like ten feet across.' They grabbed a tape measure and measured it and it's thirteen feet across. So it's twice my height, width-wise, that's how much space I take up. So, good luck other actors getting into that shot!"
» "The show's a lot of fun, everybody's really great. Tom Welling's really tall, which I didn't know, he's like 6'3". And I'm supposed to be intimidating him? Yeah, good luck on that one!"
there is reports about society/legends 2parter 2hr airing might be changing dates. there is an unconfirmed report going around that its moving from jan 29th. to feb 5th. which isnt really a bad move really. just a week later, and better in a way since feb is a sweeps month.
