Here's a really big rumor being reported by Articlesbase.com that once Tom Welling is finished with Smallville he will move on to star in a new feature film remake of the 1985 film Teen Wolf. 

This information comes from a source that is currently working on the new Teen Wolf TV series being developed for MTV. The new Teen Wolf feature film reboot will be a little different from the original, the biggest change is that the werewolf will be a teenage girl. Here's what thew site had to say,

'Teen Wolf, which was originally led by actor Michael J. Fox, showcases a high school student who discovers that his family has an odd heritage and eventually finds himself transforming into a werewolf. Released in 1985, the movie was directed by Rod Daniel, and was co-written by Jeph Loeb and Matthew Weisman. As for Welling’s upcoming movie, his version will be featuring a teenage girl as the werewolf. Given this, many speculate that Welling’s role would just be secondary.'

This whole thing sounds ridiculous, but you never know. I guess Welling will need to do something once he's done with Smallville, but I just don't see him jumping on board a Teen Wolf remake especially in a secondary role.

What do you all think of this Tom Welling Teen Wolf rumor?

Although "Watchmen" director Zack Snyder won the race to direct "Superman," the filmmaker certainly wasn't the only person in Hollywood vying for the job. Indeed, Snyder emerged victorious over a lengthy list of would-be directors that included Darren Aronofsky, Robert Zemeckis, Matt Reeves and more.

Another potential director at one point was Ben Affleck, the actor-turned-filmmaker who impressed critics and audiences alike with his most recent directorial effort, "The Town."

Studio executives at Warner Bros. were so impressed with the director's work that Affleck was reportedly considered a front runner to get behind the lens with "Superman" at one point, though the job never panned out. It's unclear how close he was to directing "Superman," but according to Affleck himself, there's some pretty sound logic on why the director passed on the Man of Steel's big screen resurrection.

"The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money," Affleck told Deadline during a recent interview. "With 'Superman,' I think they’re going to do a great version. Chris Nolan is brilliant and they’ve got a great director for it. I’ve love to do something like 'Blade Runner,' but a lesson I’ve learned is to not look at movies based on budget, how much they’ll spend on effects, or where they will shoot. Story is what’s important. Also, there are a lot of guys ahead of me on the list to do epic effects movies."

It's hard to argue with Affleck's reasoning: after all, story really is what's important at the end of the day. But given his comments, does Affleck's decision to pass on "Superman" reflect poorly on the film's story? Would he have pursued the job had he found the story more interesting, or do you think there were other reasons involved? Give us your take in the comments section

Ben Affleck turned down the chance to direct the new Superman film because he didn't feel confident enough to take charge of an "epic effects movie."

Christopher Nolan, the brains behind the rebooted Batman franchise, is bringing the Man of Steel back to the big screen in a new instalment following Bryan Singer's 2006 offering Superman Returns.

Nolan, who will act as a producer on the film, recently hired Watchmen moviemaker Zack Snyder to direct it, and Affleck has now revealed he was "tempted" by the job, but decided to leave the superhero movie to a director better acquainted with big budget blockbusters.

He tells Deadline.com, "The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money. With Superman, I think they're going to do a great version. Chris Nolan is brilliant and they've got a great director for it.

"I've love to do something like Blade Runner, but a lesson I've learned is to not look at movies based on budget, how much they'll spend on effects, or where they will shoot. Story is what's important. Also, there are a lot of guys ahead of me on the list to do epic effects movies."

In the past two seasons, Smallville has done a lot of things right. For starters, the creative team introduced the threat of Checkmate last season. In lieu of Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Lionel Luthor (John Glover), Smallville was on a downward spiral without villains worth facing. Doomsday was a cheap knock-off. Tess (Cassidy Freeman), although recently revealed to be a Luthor by blood (and Lena Luthor at that), was no Lex. Adding in a strong ongoing government component to Smallville's villain roster helped boost the impending threats to Clark's (Tom Welling) farm-boy fantasy world. Government involvement also sparked a Vigilante Registration Act to face and several anti-Blur factions. Being a hero is no longer such a great thing to be.

Now, Darkseid has arrived – at least in spirit. The Omega symbol is coming up everywhere – most recently in Slade Wilson (Michael Hogan). Comic readers know that Doomsday is all about the dreaded Omega Beams he emits from his eyes (they're like Kal-El's heat vision but way more powerful, hence the name Omega). The Omega Beams were strong enough to purportedly turn Kara Zor-El into dust in the Superman/Batman "The Supergirl From Krypton" series (issues #8-13) that introduced the latest version of Supergirl to the DC Universe (she never really died thanks to the "old" Cosmic Dust-Supergirl Ashes switcheroo). Although it doesn't look like Darkseid will be as powerful on Smallville as he is in the comic book, he is able to manifest other devilish powers like possession. He was originally in control of anti-hero evangelist Gordon Godfrey. Now, it is revealed that his earthly minions include the triple play of Desaad, Gordon Godfrey and Granny Goodness. Granny, however, is the forerunner of Darkseid's minions. She has been on Earth the longest and therefore has been affecting the events in Clark's life before his appearance in Smallville Season 10.

While Darkseid's presence serves as the main threat as well as anti-hero legislation, there is also the looming issue of the Lex clone. Tess has finally been accepted into the inner-circle of the Watchtower. Although she seems to have shunned her inner evil to help Clark on his "mission," her recent discovery that she is a Luthor may cloud her judgment. Also, it would seem that if Darkseid had to possess anybody, why not go for Tess or the Lex clone. After all, Luthors are prone to possession. Lex let himself be possessed by Zod, while Lionel opted for Jor-El after Pa Kent (John Schneider) died.

"The world needs you, Lois."

Really? It was just a few short seasons ago that Lois (Erica Durance) was nothing more than a Superhero groupie, dating Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) and Aquaman (albeit for a day). Thankfully, Lois' character is finally starting to mature from being not-Chloe (Allison Mack) and Lana-wannabe (Kristin Kreuk) to something much

When it was revealed that "Smallville's" Tess (Cassidy Freeman) is actually a Luthor, jaws dropped. Tess, whose birth name is Lutessa Lena Luthor, was the product of an affair between Lionel Luthor and Pamela Jenkins, Lex's nanny.

"We were very excited that that didn't leak, somehow, because we've had that in the works for a very long time," executive producer Kelly Souders tells Zap2it. "It's going to have a very significant role in her life for the rest of the season. Some of it really comes to a head in episode 10. We'll see how it's impacting her and how it's going to start changing her life a bit."

Episode 10, airing Friday Dec. 3, is aptly titled "Luthor." It explores not only Tess's connection to the Luthor name, but also gives us a glimpse into what would have happened if it was Lionel Luthor, not the Kent family, who found Clark (Tom Welling) in that cornfield after the meteor hit Smallville.

"It's always fun to get to write these characters that we know and love in our world and sort of think about how life would've turned out differently for them with just a few changes," says Souders. "It's always one of the most fun episodes to break of the year, when we change it up a bit."

In the parallel universe, Clark is a villainous murderer, and Lois is engaged to Oliver. However, back in the real world, Tess is still coming to grips with the new information about her past. "We obviously have a lot of ideas up our sleeve for the end of the season," says Brian Peterson, also an executive producer. "Having the Luthor name definitely has a profound impact on you."

As we approach the last half of the final season, expect to see a lot of familiar characters return — including everyone's favorite feisty blonde, Chloe (Allison Mack). "She'll be back in 12. She comes back in a very cool and exciting way, in addition to a very very romantic way," says Peterson. "It's very true to who Chloe is and who she's becoming."

Mack is expected to appear in multiple episodes, but the showrunners don't share whether her episodes will be joined in a consecutive story arc or if they'll be scattered throughout the remaining months. "That part we can't really say right now, but she definitely will be back for several episodes in the back half of the season."

Chloe's first episode back will also see the return of the Black Canary, aka Dinah Lance (Alaina Huffman). "I wouldn't say it's a two parter, but she has a quick cameo at the end of 11, which is the very last episode in this run," says Peterson. "And then she's in episode 12 when we come back. We see her in a different light than we've ever seen her before."

Sounds like we may be going into the holiday hiatus on quite a cliffhanger.

Another familiar face in the back nine? Look for Clark's mother, Martha Kent, to return with a mission. "Becoming a senator was twofold for Martha Kent," says Souders. "Part of it was to serve the people and part of it was to protect her son. When she comes back, she'll do both."

If you're still hungry for hints about what's to come for our heroes, don't worry – we've got a few more tidbits for you.

We're all looking forward to Clark proposing to Lois, but the course of true love never did run smooth. We mentioned to Souders and Peterson that we've gotten a lot of tweets from fans wondering when Lois and Clark would get back to being journalists. "You don't see a lot of them at work," Peterson says. "That's actually part of the issue between them now, is that Clark is very busy being a hero."

"We can promise in the next run you'll see them back at the Daily Planet working together," Souders adds, reassuring.

Of course, one of the reasons Clark has been so preoccupied lately is that he's grappling with the decision of whether or not to reveal himself as a superhero. One particular catalyst will come into play: Clark's friend Oliver.

"What's going on with Oliver has a lot to do with Clark coming out, when he's going to do it, how he's going to do it, and what he needs to do before he can do it," says Souders. "Oliver really becomes a big lesson for all the people in the JLA."

And as for Lex, our favorite villain of all? The bond between Tess and Lex's clone, Alexander, is growing stronger. "Lex is definitely evolving very quickly now," says Peterson. "He's got this connection with Tess, and with her being a Luthor, he's more tied into the rest of her world in this next run of episodes than he was before."

New rumours about Zack Snyder’s Superman: The Man of Steel have emerged.

According to What's Playing, The Man of Steel will focus on Supermans’s early days, and will feature him becoming involved with a struggle between two tribes in Africa.

He then returns to Smallville to learn about his origins after he uses his powers to help settle the dispute.

With David Goyer (The Dark Knight) as screenwriter and Christopher Nolan producing, The Man of Steel is expected to repeat the success of the pair's Batman reboot.

Though we're in early days, this ‘returning to his roots’ plot sounds a bit familiar. Almost as if it’s been a TV show…

Another tidbit chruned up by the rumour mill is Anne Hathaway to play Lois Lane, although you'd imagine pretty much any age-appropriate actress is in with a shot.

Superman: Man of Steel is set for late 2012.

Guess "Young Lex" might keep aging…

While we don't know which episode it is for, Lucas Grabeel, who played the young Lex Luthor in Season 6's "Reunion," is coming back to the show in the near future.

The news was revealed when the High School Musicalstar tweeted "I'm off to Vancouver to shoot an episode of Smallville!"

Even though his name hasn't popped up in connection with the "Superman" reboot too much in recent weeks, Jon Hamm's potential as the next Man of Steel remains in the minds of many fans worldwide.

Hamm himself is aware of the movement to cast the "Mad Men" star in director Zack Snyder's forthcoming adaptation, and believe it or not, he's up for the idea — in fact, during an appearance on Conan O'Brien's new late night show, the actor said he would love to play "a middle-aged Superman."

"Everyone wants to see a middle-aged Superman," he joked during his "Conan" appearance. "With the power of handicapped parking and mall walking… a Superman who has to buy a fast car and date a younger woman to make him feel alive."

Hamm even offered some story ideas for his aging Superman, saying that the Man of Tomorrow has really become the Man of Yesterday.

"He doesn't really feel that good about himself," he joked. "He's hit a certain age and he's not so super anymore. His super kids are everywhere taking his super publicity."

After O'Brien gently informed Hamm that he can't just add the word "super" in front of every sentence, the erstwhile Don Draper grinned and retorted: "I super certainly can."

Clearly, Hamm's having a bit of fun with the people who've spoken out against his age as a reason for why he cant play Superman — but do you think he actually agrees with the criticism, or do you think he'd be up for playing Clark Kent?
