December 8, 2003: Tom Welling Talks Smallville, Chris Reeve, and Superman Movie
Movie Hole sat down with Tom Welling to talk to him about his new movie "Cheaper By The Dozen", as well as "Smallville", the possibility of him starring as Superman in a new movie, and also working with Christopher Reeve. Here are a few excerpts from the interview...Q: We've heard you tipped for Superman film. Possibility?
A: Before that film could ever be brought to me on an actual level there are just too many things that probably wouldn't allow it to happen. One is the shooting schedule I have on Smallville.
Q: Talk about working with Chris Reeve on Smallville
A: It was great. I'll be going back (to NYC to shoot another episode with Reeve) for sure.
Q: Did Chris share any insights into his days as Superman?
A: It was funny. He watches Smallville and he was amazed at how we can do what we do on a day to day basis and even get them out in a week, with some of the special effects and visual effects. He was explaining how, when he did the first Superman, even up to a year after the actual production stopped he was still working, and how they really pushed the special effects and the visual effects forward with that film. So that was the big thing that he was amazed at. He had a little joke that he didn't want to talk with me too much about Superman because I'm not supposed to know about him yet, because I'm only Clark Kent. That was his jokes.
Q: Will we see flying on the show?
A: A lot of people are looking forward to that. I'm not, but I base that on the character. I believe that Clark flying around, Clark putting on the suit in Smallville would go against what we're trying to do, and that is show a teenager with these abilities who is trying to fit and trying to be normal. I think that if he puts on the suit and he starts flying around, one, we've now changed the dynamic of the show, and, two, it would be too easy. One of the things that we try to do on Smallville is we try not to make it too easy for Clark to use his abilities. Other people can't find out about them. He has to make sure that he's very conscientious about covering his tracks and making sure nobody finds out about him.
