iFMagazine – Comic Con News: (DAY 4 – July 26, 2009): HUGE ‘SMALLVILLE’ SEASON NINE NEWS
Executive producers Brian Wayne Peterson and Kelly Souders say what we’ll see is the last stage of what Clark wants to be, who is going to be appearing this season and more
LOCATION: San Diego Comic Con
THE SKINNY: At the press roundtable for SMALLVILLE at Comic Con, Executive producers Brian Wayne Peterson and Kelly Souders gave iF a bit of a preview as to what to expect in the coming season of the early years of SUPERMAN.
Season nine will be following what will be the last stage of what Clark does before he become Superman, Peterson says. But they are not approaching this as the last season of the show. In fact, they hope to keep it going for a while – despite the fact the show is moving to Fridays.
“We came into this season with 100 ideas, we have a lot of stories,” Souders says. “The studio wants to satisfy the fans. They are not going to tell us in episode 21 ‘Let’s end it.’ They are going to give it time.”
Among some of the things we will see in season nine is Clark training with Jor-El as he struggles with his identity.
We will also see in the series premiere for season nine the show explore why Clark doesn’t fly and the current look he has.
“We will see a different side of Clark,” Peterson says. “This will be the final stage of deciding what he wants to be.”
We will also see an episode in season nine where Lois has a vision of the future and just what that future will be. In addition, we will also be seeing Roulette and Metallo this season.
As far as Lex Luthor goes? While the producers have chatted with Michael Rosenbaum, they can’t find the time to work it out with his schedule. So, nothing is panning out right now in terms of him coming back. We will also see an episode in season nine where Lois has a vision of the future and just what that future will be. In addition, we will also be seeing Roulette and Metallo this season.
