Hollywood Reporter Celebrates Smallville Milestone
Thu January 26th 2006 @ 5:55AM - James - Tom Welling - 0 Comments
In celebration of the show's 100th episode, which airs on the WB later today, today's online edition of The Hollywood Reporter has a really nice, in-depth look back at how Smallville was created, how it has fared over the past five years, and, more importantly, what may be to come in the future.
Smallville has proven itself to be one of Warner Brothers' most important assets, and according to this article has made more than $100 million in DVD sales alone.
Of course the show's executive producers can't always be right: Mike Tollin, in thinking back to the casting process for Smallville, notes that "When Tom Welling walked into the casting office, all we had was a tape where he played the cute pizza boy in [the 1997 movie] Chasing Amy, I think it was."
I don't think it was, but I'll cut him some slack for mixing up "Chasing" and "Judging" Amy, just this once. It is a special occasion, after all.
