EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: AL GOUGH ON TOM WELLING CASTING RUMORS

Earlier today, online rumors stated that Warner Bros. features had apparently worked out a deal with Smallville creators and executive producers for Tom Welling to take leave of the show so that he could star as Superman in the Justice League movie. This would, of course, jive with earlier rumors that the duo were holding out their cooperation for the opportunity to not only serve as exec producers of JL, but also to be given control of the Superman film franchise. This evening, Al Gough, upon hearing the latest rumors, responded pretty succinctly in an exclusive interview: "This is utter bullshit. We haven't ever been approached by anybody at Warners.  This is all utter fabrication.
  "There have been many rumors circulating over the past few weeks about Tom Welling's involvement in the Justice League movie," Gough continues. "I can tell you that neither Miles ,myself, nor Warner Bros Television have been approached by WB Features about this film.  The last time I checked with Tom's agent, he said they had not been contacted about this project at all.  We have a very cordial relationship with both Warner Bros Features and DC Comics, and in all of our discussions over the past few weeks on Smallville business, THIS HASN'T COME UP ONCE. So, there you have it from the horse's mouth--or ass--given some of the message board postings I've seen about myself!"
