Apparently Michael Rosenbaum has turned down several offers to come back for the series finale of Smallville. A source told Spinoff Online that he "has put the show behind him and moved on. [...] By all indications, he is not going to be involved.”
“I’ve twisted his arm, I’ve taken him to dinner, I’ve gotten him drunk … I’ve tried to get him to sign papers that he didn’t know what they were … so, I’m trying everything that I can,” Tom (Superman) Welling told KryptonSite during Comic-Con International. “Michael wants to come back, but there are just some things to iron out, and I think he understands that we can’t end the show without Lex Luthor. We’re even teasing the idea that he’s going to be on already, with the idea of clones, or [the idea] that Lex has developed these bodies that he could then tap into to heal himself later in life.”
UPDATE!!!! Several websites (including Superherohype) are reporting that Rosenbaum is indeed coming back for the final 2-hour episode of Smallville. The episode is to air May 13th.
Deadline is reporting that Ryan Gosling is close to signing on as Logan 5 in the remake of the sci-fi classic Logan's Run. The actor would reunite with his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. The story depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing overpopulation. Logan 5 is a "Sandman," a law enforcer who tracks and eliminates people who "runs" from society's lethal demand. That is until he reaches that age.
