Smallville

March 1, 2007: Al Gough - More Seasons and No Costume

MeeVee.com has interviewed Al Gough, executive producer of "Smallville", and pretty much ended any speculation about seeing Tom Welling in the Superman costume, while also confirming that Al is serious about going for eight seasons.

    How many more seasons of Smallville do you anticipate?

    A: We all feel we have, legitimately, a good two more seasons worth of stories. Then I think it's time to pack it up to the fortress and go home.

    Before Brandon Routh was discovered, he used to get comments like, "Oh, you look like Superman." He even dressed up in a Superman costume for Halloween. Have you ever thought about Tom Welling donning the costume -- just to get an idea of "what if"?

    A: No, it's actually in his contract that he won't wear the costume. (Laughter) I'm not sure what he does at home, but on the show, he's not wearing the costume. And again, not to conflict with the movies, [Warners Feature Film Division] doesn't want him in the costume, and we don't want him in the costume. [Smallville is] a different show altogether.
