A CAT scan of the latest issue of the industry publication Production Weekly expose this supposed plot abstract , which sound an dreaded lot like the 2003 - 04 funnies series Superman : Birthright :
Clark Kent is a freelance newsman in his early 20 ’s , locomote all around the world covering various news narrative . However , Kent is forced to fly back into activeness to chance upon a fleeing assassin instead of address an heathen difference of opinion between the Ghuri and Turaaba clans in West Africa . Upon his return to form , Kent returns to Smallville to learn more about his origins and become the hero he was born to be .
get into this is legit – and one obvious possibility is that someone just cribbed plot detail from Birthright as a placeholder , even if that does seem like a weird thing to do – then the product also lists four scenes in the Smallville section of the motion-picture show : “ HOMECOMING ” , “ next DISCUSSION ” , “ SHIP DISCOVERY ” , and “ FUNERAL . ” There ’s a hatful of ways that those could be understood – “ ship discovery ” might be a flashback to Kal El ’s comer , while “ funeral ” might well pertain to the decease of Jonathan Kent , but that ’s just conjecture . For a salutary breakdown of how the game of Birthright might render to Zack Snyder ’s film , check out the connectedness . [ Movies.com ]

Producer Don Murphy is jolly certain the series will continue with at least another three moving picture :
What chance next ? Certainly not a reboot . We have n’t lose the Transformers . They did n’t grow up or become expensive like Toby Maguire . I do n’t know what happens next . I ’m moderately sure there will be a 2nd trilogy . I am pretty sure it will kick ass . And I am fairly certain some of you will hate it because it was n’t all bot . ”
Since we ’ve already had a half-baked rumor about Jason Statham , how about we just get him and his Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor to take over . That ’s jolly much the only way to up the ante on three movies worth of Bayhem . [ TFW2005 ]
Richard Armitage , who plays dwarf king Thorin Oakenshield , hash out the motion-picture show and his fabled brand , the Orcrist :
“ There ’s going to be quite a lot more humor . The book is so focussed on the dwarves , so I think it ’s a fortune for Peter [ Jackson ] and Fran [ Walsh ] to really front at that whole race in more detail , their inheritance and what they ’re like as characters .
“ [ The Orcrist is ] flaming heavy ! But it ’s perfectly beautiful to search at . Every fourth dimension they fetch something new out everyone puff . The armour that the dwarves emerge from the mountain fatigue at the ending of the film will be the armor of all armour . ”

“ It ’s one of those estimate that ’s been ticking off in the back of my mind for many years . It could have been a Doctor Who instalment , but I thought it was proficient as an interesting way to present Torchwood to both new and sure-enough viewers . Jack ’s immortality is fascinating , but it could be hard to preface to a new audience . You do n’t want to roll back four years and say he ’s immortal because he was exterminated by the Daleks in a completely dissimilar series ! We came to rod bank vault over that problem by giving it to the intact worldly concern . I like I could tell you it was project . It was pure accident . ”

Arlene Tur explains how her character Dr. Vera Juarez reacts to the world ’s deep immortality :
She ’s very cautious of it because it ’s not at all scientific . Nothing that she ’s learned in all of her study to become a cardio - thoracic surgeon tell her that this exists or that this is real or how to lot with any of the matter she ’s getting involved with . So , at first , she ’s doubtful , as anybody would be . She ’s conservative , but then her eyes are open up by the Torchwood team to things that are possible and thing that survive .
