This guy was almost Superman..seriously

Posted by Jared On January - 27 - 2010

Matthew Bomer is currently impressing audiences as conman-turned-FBI agent Neal Caffery in the "White Collar" television series, but there was a time not too long ago when he was primed to bring a far more familiar character to the big screen as the star of what eventually became "Superman Returns."

Before Bryan Singer took over "Superman Returns," Brett Ratner had been tagged as the project's director and cast Bomer as Kal-El. Ratner left the project in 2003, and the role of Superman was re-cast and given to Brandon Routh when Singer was named the new director. So, when Bomer dropped by MTV HQ to discuss "White Collar," we had to ask him what it was like to be Superman — even for just a little while.

Time to go hunting!..

Waiting for Superman, takes an even wider look at how we in America educate our children.

Or, more specifically, how we've generally failed to educate our children.

Equal parts sickening, fascinating, and inspiring, Waiting for Superman (the title refers to a child's dream of being rescued) takes firm aim at our national education system and asks a few simple but angry questions. Like, for example, how can one of the richest and most privileged countries in the world fail so resoundingly at educating its youngest generations? How long must our system fracture before someone comes up with a plan that actually works? Why do so many politicians promise education reforms … but practically never follow through? And, perhaps most importantly, what can a dedicated parent actually DO to help ensure their kids a legitimate and high-quality education?

Guggenheim makes his points by introducing us to all sorts of people who are directly affected by our floundering education system — and for the most part, it's just not pretty. We meet Washington D.C. Education Chief Michelle Rhee, who has some revolutionary new ideas on how to keep teachers happy and inspired … but the teachers' union doesn't like them. We get to know a small handful of great kids, all of whom seem smart and sweet and dedicated … oh, but there simply isn't enough room for those kids at the (relatively) local charter school.

And then there are the chalkboard heroes: the average hard-working educators who are sincerely and passionately dedicated to educating our young … who are constantly short on resources, egregiously underpaid, and unacceptably under-appreciated. One interview subject, a teacher named Canada, is so effortlessly inspiring and simply noble that he may inspire your own kids to become an educator. The only place a man like this can make a difference is in a charter school, which (obviously) has a rather high enrollment list, and therefore its pupils must be chosen by lottery.

Imagine being the low-income parent who must entrust her child's secondary education to a bunch of bouncing lottery balls. A country that spends billions on weapons but comparatively little on the education of our future leaders … well, you do the math. And Guggenheim captures it all: the overworked and well-intentioned teachers, the beleaguered bureaucrats, the desperate parents, and the confused kids. Waiting for Superman works well enough as a basic primer on how our education system got so damn broken in the first place, but it also offers some ideas and hopes for the future of American education.

Full of refreshingly honest insights and some powerfully upsetting statistics, the film seems angry and critical, but never hopeless. We'd like to think that every kid in America has his own fair shot at a strong education … but we know they don't. Not really. Movies like Waiting for Superman would like to change that.

According to CinemaSpy.com Smallville Season 10 is Confirmed!. The announcement would be made within the next two weeks.

“Fans of The CW series Smallville take note: industry sources inform CinemaSpy that the show has been renewed for a tenth season, and that the official announcement is probable before the end of January — possibly to be made on the Vancouver sets — when Peter Roth, President of Warner Bros. Television will visit the Warner-produced shows Smallville, Supernatural…and Fringe” – CinemaSpy.com

Ma Kent will return to Smallville!

Posted by Jared On January - 19 - 2010
 

Sources confirmed to EWAusiello that Annette O’Toole will reprise her role as Clark Kent’s mother later this season! The "re-appearance" will probably fall during May sweeps to boost ratings and excite the hardcore Smallville fans. The last time O’Toole appeared was in season 6 when Martha moved to Washington to become a U.S. senator. Ausiello also hints to an unexptected surprise linked to her return.

Well, I for one am excited! I always thought Ma and Pa Kent were crucial to the show and I was hurt when they were written out. What do you guys think? Have you missed Annette?!

DC COMICS' CHARACTERS HAWKMAN, STAR GIRL AND DR. FATE FROM THE JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA MEET UP WITH CLARK AND HIS TEAM IN A SPECIAL TWO-HOUR EVENT; PAM GRIER GUEST STARS

— A man named Sylvester Pemberton tracks down Chloe (Allison Mack) and tells her he knows about her team of superheroes and needs their help. However, before he can explain who he is, he is attacked and killed by Icicle (guest star Wesley Macinnes). Clark (Tom Welling) and Chloe's (Allison Mack) investigation leads Clark to the former headquarters of the Justice Society of America where he meets up with Nelson AKA Dr. Fate (guest star Brent Stait), Carter Hall AKA Hawkman (guest star Michael Shanks) and Courtney AKA Star Girl (guest star Britt Irvin). Courtney pleads with Hawkman and Dr. Fate to help her catch the killer that is targeting their group but they are reluctant to resume their duties as superheroes. Clark, John Jones (guest star Phil Morris), Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) and Chloe team up to help the JSA stop Icicle before he murders another member of the group. Meanwhile, Lois (Erica Durance) receives a package from a mysterious agency called Checkmate, run by Amanda Waller (guest star Pam Grier). Geoff Johns wrote the two-hour episode. Glen Winters directed the first hour (#3X5262) and Tom Welling directed the second hour (#3X5263).







 

On his website, Mark Millar had some encouraging things to say about "revamping Superman for a new generation (and YES, 30 somethings, that DOES mean an origin to explain where the Hell he came from to my daughter and her pals). Obviously, there's some legal shit to sort out but anyone who thinks Superman is gone is just plum crazy. Should we pursue this aggressively, especially given the buzz on Kick-Ass is just astronomical and Matthew is being offered pretty much anything he wants to do?

We had so much fun casting around on all this, just idle chats in the pub as we scribbled our notes. Imagine Daniel Craig as Lex Luthor, Clint Eastwood as Pa Kent, Daniel Day-Lewis and Julianne Moore as Jor-El and Lara. And the idea one of our production team had for Jimmy Olsen is just GENIUS! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. What do YOU guys think? You wanna see the Kick-Ass team REALLY go after Superman or develop something else?"



 

"I want to start on Krypton, a thousand years ago, and end with Superman alone on Planet Earth, the last being left on the planet, as the yellow sun turns red and starts to supernova, and he loses his powers." MM

 

















Superman cameo cut out of Green Lantern movie

Posted by Jared On January - 18 - 2010


MTV is reporting that director, Martin Campbell, has pulled the Superman cameo from the film. In fact, "None of the other DC characters will appear in the film," Campbell stated. 

Back in July, Green Lantern writer Marc Guggenheim stated that there would be Clark Kent cameo similar to the Tony Stark moment at the end Hulk. 

But as for right now, there is no Clark Kent and Green Lantern meet-up, and no new Superman movie either — just wishful thinking. Of course, we're coming up on the time when DC is supposed to be unveiling the projects of its newly formed movie production arm, so you never know.
