TV: Supergirl Returns to Smallville for S10 (News)

EW's Michael Ausiello announced earlier this week that Laura Vandervoort would return to the role of Kara for an episode in Smallville's upcoming tenth and final season.


I wish it was for a several episode arc at least, but as a big Kara fan from S7 I'll take what I can get and with Laura's role on ABC's V I'm sure her time is not as free as it once was. With the news last month that John Schneider would also be returning in season 10, this marks the second Smallville alum scheduled to return and hopefully there will be others that follow and help buffer the reduced presence Allison Mack will have in the final season.

The 10th season of Smallville premieres September 24, 2010 on the CW at 8PM.

FILM: EW's First Look @ Green Lantern (News)

The cover of EW's upcoming issue for the week of July 23, 2010 has the star of DC's next feature film:

... Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern!  This issue includes a preview of next week's San Diego Comic-Con 2010 where WB will debut Green Lantern footage to fans.

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax, he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Green Lantern lights up screens June 30, 2010.
