James Marsters, Tom Wopat In Season Five!

Two big names have signed on to appear in Smallville's fifth season, as revealed at the Television Critics Association WB Press Tour today.

James Marsters ("Spike" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) will be appearing on Smallville playing a character very familiar to comic book fans. He plays Professor Milton Fine, better known as Brainiac.

Tom Wopat, John Schneider's Dukes of Hazzard co-star, is also making a guest appearance, as a senator and old friend to Jonathan Kent.

Here are the official press release:

JAMES MARSTERS VISITS “SMALLVILLE” AS THE EVIL BRAINIAC AND TOM WOPAT REUNITES WITH SERIES STAR JOHN SCHNEIDER

Burbank, CA July 22, 2005

James Marsters sinks his teeth into another juicy role for The WB when he joins the cast of SMALLVILLE for multiple episodes. Marsters will portray Brainiac, a classic DC Comics villain and one of the Man-of-Steel's most formidable enemies. Additionally, one episode this season will reunite series star John Schneider with his former “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star, Tom Wopat.

Marsters plays college professor Milton Fine, alter ego of the uber-villain Brainiac. Possessed of a vast, superior knowledge limited only by his hubris and emotions, Brainiac comes to earth armed with a secret about Clark's biological family and the truth about Krypton's demise. Brainiac's presence in Smallville will have a devastating effect on Clark and Lex's already deteriorating friendship.

Marsters first appeared on The WB in the critically acclaimed hit series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” as Spike, the vampire who first tries to kill Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), but ultimately falls in love with her. After five seasons on the show and Spike's untimely demise, Marsters' character was reborn as a ghost on the series spin-off Angel starring David Boreanaz.

Marsters began his professional career in the theater, performing in stage productions including “The Tempest” and “Red Noses” at Chicago's renowned Goodman Theatre. In addition, Marsters revisited the stage in Los Angeles with a starring role in an original play produced by Noah Wyle, titled “The Why.” Additional television roles include a guest appearance on “Northern Exposure” and the series “Strange Frequency” for VH1, as well as on Gene Roddenberry's “Andromeda.”

Brainiac is the latest DC Comics character to appear in SMALLVILLE. The Flash, Mxyzptlk and Perry White have all made appearances during the series run. Last season, Lois Lane (Erica Durance) joined the cast.

Also this season on SMALLVILLE, veteran actor and Broadway star Tom Wopat will portray a state senator who was a boyhood friend of Jonathan Kent (Schneider). In addition to his role co-starring with Schneider on the hit television series “The Dukes of Hazzard,” Wopat starred in the popular sitcom “Cybill,” with Cybill Shepherd, and in the daytime drama “All My Children.” He was also nominated for Broadway's 1999 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for his role opposite Bernadette Peters in the revival of “Annie Get Your Gun.”

Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, "Smallville" was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon, "Spiderman 2"), based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive producers, along with Greg Beeman, Ken Horton, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

Tim Minear to write and direct the "Spike" Tv Movie?

An update on the Spike TV movie. It was only the other day that Joss Whedon asked Tim Minear if he wanted to "write and direct some blonde vampire movie thing". Tim said yes. It’s still very early days though as nothing is signed.

Anyhow, this is what Tim said :

"Also, I had lunch with Joss and he asked me if I wanted to write and direct some blonde vampire movie thing. Should I do it? (I of course said yes right off, still) Anything under 13 hours scares me. And anything over 13 hours... um. I got nothin’."

"Buffy" consorts colonizing other Tv Shows

There’s life after death in more ways than one in the world of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Six stars from the acclaimed series will turn up on new network series this fall. Here’s a breakdown of who will be seen where and how they’ve evolved:

David Boreanaz

"Buffy" role: Angel, a lovelorn vampire who wanted a soul and finally got one.

New role: Special Agent Seeley Booth on the "CSI"-ish mystery series, "Bones," for Fox.

Similarities: Angel and Booth are men who both want justice and are good at digging for the truth.

Differences: Angel is an immortal, and Booth has a life span.

Nicholas Brendon

"Buffy" role: Xander Harris, the hunky sidekick with the dry, sardonic wit.

New role: Seth Richman on Fox’s workplace comedy "Kitchen Confidential."

Similarities: Xander and Seth are both charming to the ladies.

Differences: Xander lacked the obvious confidence that Seth has.

Charisma Carpenter

"Buffy" role: Cordelia Chase, a woman with her own agenda. It was her way or the highway.

New role: Kendall, a troublemaker on UPN’s mystery series "Veronica Mars." She’s 28, a wife and mother.

Similarities: Kendall and Cordelia are both women who love to stir the pot.

Differences: While Cordelia turned out to be lovable despite herself, Kendall may be a tougher lady to warm to. "She’s a [witch] in a bikini. She is so campy," Carpenter says of her "Veronica Mars" role. "She’s meaner than Cordy ever was."

Seth Green

"Buffy" role: Daniel "Oz" Osborne, a nice enough kid with a cursed life.

New role: Barry on the comedy "The Four Kings," for NBC.

Similarities: They really are two different characters.

Differences: Daniel didn’t have his act together enough in the world of vampires and werewolves. Barry definitely knows his way around better.

Alyson Hannigan

"Buffy" role: Willow Rosenberg, the uncertain girl who blossomed into a take-charge woman.

New role: Lily, a woman madly in love in the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother" (she’s not the mother).

Similarities: Willow and Lily are women who found their confidence, in part, because of the loves they found.

Differences: Willow took a while to grow from girl to woman, while Lily has her act together immediately.

James Marsters

"Buffy" role: Spike, the devilish vampire with hidden nobility.

New role: Brainiac, an advanced robot from another world, next season on WB’s "Smallville."

Similarities: Brainy and Spike love the dark side.

Differences: Spike turned good while Brainy will definitely be evil.

Nach «Buffy» und «Angel»: Jetzt kommt Spike

Es ist für «Buffy»-Fans eine nicht enden wollende Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle:
Ankündigungen und Dementis über neue Serien wechseln wie Ebbe und Flut. Nun
aber gibt es endlich ernstzunehmende Hinweise, wonach der beliebte Blutsauger
Spike, der seit Buffy's zweiter Staffel mit von der Partie ist, im Mittelpunkt
eines eigenen Fernsehfilms stehen würde. Wie bekannt wurde hat, Serienschöpfer
Joss Whedon den «Angel»-Veteranen Tim Minear damit beauftragt, sowohl ein
entsprechendes Drehbuch zu verfassen, als auch Regie zu führen. Eine erfreulich
Nachricht für Tim Minear, dessen letztes Serienprojekt, das FBI-Drama «The
Inside», nach nur wenigen Folgen aus dem Programm geworfen wurde.

Zwar fehlt im Moment noch die offizielle Bestätigung seitens des WB, die
Informationen gelten in Fachkreisen jedoch als vielversprechend und überaus
wahrscheinlich.

Sarah unter den Top 5 der Sexiest Female TV Stars

Okay, so there's no Emmy nomination for Eva Longoria's sex kitten role on "Desperate Housewives," but at least she's been recognized for how hot she is.

The 30-year-old beauty and former Miss Corpus Christi was voted the sexiest female TV star of all time. Yup, forget about Heather Locklear, Farrah Fawcett or any of the other sirens in TV history. Longoria, who only really rose to fame in the past year, apparently trumps them all.

The petite starlet, who plays adulteress Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC show, received the honor courtesy of a poll conducted by British supermarket Sainsbury's, no doubt the arbiter of sex appeal and savings.
Despite the "all-time" claim, the actresses landing on the list starred in shows that only hit the airwaves in the past decade or so. At No. 2 on the list is Jennifer Aniston of "Friends" fame who made "the Rachel" the It hairdo of the '90s.

Slinking into third place is Kim Cattrall playing the gleefully promiscuous Samantha on HBO's "Sex and the City." Following on her stiletto heels is Pamela Anderson who is sadly not honored for her "Stacked" performance but for her repertoire of "Baywatch" rescues.

Rounding out the Top 5 is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Aaarg, eine 40. Disc mit Bonusmaterial das es noch nicht gibt. Und dazu ist die Box auch noch super günstig (ca. 20€ pro Staffel).

Wobei mir das Design nicht sonderlich zusagt, und ich ja schon alle 7 RC1 Boxen habe.
