Brian Austin Green is set to play popular villian Metallo on a two-episode arc on Smallville starting September 25th, with the ninth season's premiere episode. John Corben is a new Daily Planet Reporter who, in the aftermath of an accident, is mysteriously outfitted with a heart made of Kryptonite. The identity of Corben's savior is being kept under wraps until the show's debut, but executive producer Kelly Souders states that Corben is turned into "a rough version of Metallo, a first attempt at the technology, and eventually he'll get sleeker."
Will we see him again after his two-episode arc is finished? Souders laughed, "Well of course...It's Smallville. We're actually throwing some ideas around right now in the hopes that we might be able to bring him back for another episode."
Smallville returns to the CW for a ninth season on September 25th.

Green wasn't considered for GL. He just put his name in the ring because his inflated ego wanted to be a super hero.

the imperfection makes him looks sweet. this is the first version. he isnt the cleaned up metallo we know of.
also, i agree i wish tscc didnt get canned. second season was slow but i felt like it was about to pick up when boom, no more tv show. green did a great job on the show.
SWAK: to answer your question yes, sort of. he campaigned for the roll. anything after that im not sure of.

The following is for Vanboy, and I hope he reads it to the end before responding, if he so chooses.

A) Check your spelling so I don't have to decipher your intended meaning in every other sentence.
B) Don't pretend like you had some veiled meaning behind what you said; if you give a vague comment, you have to accept every interpretation, you can't just use the cloudiness of your syntax to try to alter what you meant. You used the pronouns "it" and "that" without actually making specific reference to what you were talking about, whether it was the whole piece or just the chest inserts and nothing else. Yes, you did say "built-up make-up" but after that you just used "it" and "that", and gave no specification to demonstrate that you WEREN'T talking about the whole thing.
Don't try to come out trying to look like the level-headed one when you chose your words incorrectly. And even if you meant what you said after the fact, how practical is it for a TV show, even a highly rated one, to waste money on an effect that would probably look sh*tty and obviously Computer-Generated, prompting you to go the other route and say "Man, I wish they had gone practical on that"? Only cheap looking CG is cheap, good effects still cost decent amounts of money.
Then you throw a caveat line in the end "My response to you is for everyone else to see, not for you, because I don't care what you, the individual I'm actually addressing thinks, I just want everyone to see that I'm better than you," in an attempt to mask what you're really saying "If you respond to my insults, you're the *sshole, not me, and I want everyone to think that," or, in more base terms "I'm rubber; you're glue."
Also, think about what it would look like if someone drove a coolant line into your chest; there would be bulging.
C) Movieweb keeps bugging out whenever I try to update my pic, so I quit trying. At least I'm not some d-bag who thinks his avatar represents how cool and unique he is (that was not aimed at you, it was a general statement), I let my words speak for themselves and don't rely on an avatar to define my opinions.
D) I wouldn't be so flippant, except that you're responding to my reaction with childish insults rather than a thought out and honest response. Granted, my initial comment was aggressive, but was at least based in something you had actually said, whereas you're just making surface assumptions.
Now, do you have anything further to say in aggravated defense, or are you, as you indicated previously "finished with me"? If you don't respond, it looks like you actually meant what you said, or possibly that I've stumped you, but I'm sure you can rest easy thinking that most people here would see it as the former.
Or you could respond once more, and prove yourself the fool, while having a marginal chance of putting me in my place.
Your move, Vanboy. I respect your opinions, and I like your tastes, but I will not be persecuted for calling another user out on their poor judgment and inept use of language.
Should you choose not to respond, I will not consider myself the victor of any sort of contest, but I will know that my reasoning was heard and understood, and likewise that I know now what you think you said in your original post.

I was upset when TSCC was cancelled. But I'm glad that he found himself another good show to be on. Wasn't he considered for the movie role of Green Lantern?

Yeah Newkill, He really made TSCC pop with his war wary Derek Reese performance. You never even remembered that he played weakling nerd David Silver on the original 90210, did you? Or even that lame attempt at a rap career! Thank God he got over that like Mark Wahlberg did.
And if Brian Austin Green adds himself to the cast of the New 90210, as a grown up David Silver, he will be lost forever and we will revoke his Man Card....FOREVER!!!!
Yes Remy, I agree that the end of TSCC was Lame, when mindless sponge brain shows like Gossip Girl, The Hills and Let's Make a Deal stay on the air!
The only thing that I can add about the cancelation is, it wasn't what it was when it started. The first season (Little amount of episodes as there were due to the writers strike) was fast paced, in your face, on the run, looking over your shoulder adrenaline rush, coupled with the hottieness of Summer Glau and Lena Heady. The second season, started to get too pseudo profound. I mean, the first season, Gramouldy is finding every possible way to rebuild his body to hunt down and kill John Conner. The second season. he's sitting in some room discussing the meaning of life with James Ellison. Me being a Terminator fan, I was disapointed to see the loss of momentum, that I didn't even watch the rest of season 2.
And what was that Shirley Manson crap? Why would a Terminator be concerned with making sure the child of the woman she killed gets raised right? I'm sorry, but that's not the Terminator I know! Besides, she should have been a TX, instead of a feamle T-1000.
I guess she will be reteaming with the rest of Garbage now that that "Gig" is up.
I have to say though, the urinal scene was classic!

Hey child predator shadow man "ComradeHenson", go smell more glue!
CG is not eh anwer for everything *sshole. Did I say that in my comment? Next time, check to see if the light is green before you blow your load prematurely! I said, YOU CAN SEE THE BUILT UP MAKE UP. IT LOOKS VERY 1980s. AND WHY COULDN'T "THAT" HAVE BEEN DONE IN CG? THEY COULD MANIPULATE HIS FLESH MORE SMOOTHLY!
Did you get that squid?
Stan Wiston worked with the CG artists in Jurassic park using CG and practical special effects together. They complimented each other. I love practical special effects more than anybody. I think the Enterprise in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, when it was flying around in the nebula near the end of the movie is the best there ever was! I just think CG would have been better there, to cover up the drastic bump that you can plainly see. And CG is cheap these days.
Oh and ComradeHenson, that explanation was for the other guys. I'm was done with you long ago.

It's funny that he fought against cyborgs in Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, now he is the cyborg. He should have worked out before doing this. He looks a bit wimpy. They should have avoided that shot. You can see the built up make up. It looks very 1980s. And why couldn't that have been done in CG? They could manipulate his flesh more smoothly.
Actually "I AM ThatGuy", "face hugger". See the tail going down to his abs?
