Rosenbaum Turns Down Return to "Smallville"

EW.com are reporting that Michael Rosenbaum will not return to the 10th and final season of "Smallville" to reprise his role of Lex Luthor.


EW has learned that actor Michael Rosenbaum has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by producers this season to get him back on The CW's show to reprise his role as Luthor in the finale.

"He has put the show behind him and moved on," says a knowledgeable source. "He's pursuing his other creative outlet [writing]. By all indications, he is not going to be involved."

There's still a small window of opportunity for Michael to change his mind, with the show wrapping production within the next two months, but it doesn't look likely.

Ilya Salkind Company Issues Press Release Regarding Ilya's Condition

By Barry Freiman (Associate Editor of Superman Homepage & Dc Comics Expert)


Glenn Weisberger, Senior Executive of the Ilya Salkind Company, today provided the Superman Homepage with a Press Release regarding Ilya Salkind's visit to Mexico and released some of the details of the accident that resulted in his hospitalization on Monday:

Q: Why was he in Mexico?

A: Mr. Salkind has an estate in Mexico that he visits from time to time in a charming little village near Mexico City. It's a quaint quiet location where he can go to think. He had some business to conduct there so he went down to complete the business and take a little vacation. The most important part of the business was to get away from the frenetic hustle and bustle of Hollywood so that he could work on his next blockbuster

film, THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN. This big budget project is in the financing phase and we plan to be in production later this year.

Q:What happened?

A: He was taking an stroll and had an accident. He was taken to a hospital and unfortunately he didn't have his cell phone with him and

communication lapsed. Mr. Salkind's condition is stable and we hope to
have more information from his doctors shortly. He is expected to return to his home in Los Angeles soon.

BREAKING NEWS: Ilya Salkind Producer Has Been Found Alive!

According to TMZ.com,  Ilya Salkind -- the executive producer of Superman I,II and III -- was found alive in a hospital in Mexico this morning ... after friends had reported him missing for several days.

A friend of Salkind tells TMZ ... it's unclear how long Ilya has been in the hospital or why he hasn't been able to contact anyone.

We're told Ilya is currently sedated and friends are waiting to speak with the doctor to find out more information.

As TMZ first reported, Ilya -- the guy who is widely regarded as the person responsible for bringing a live-action Superman movie to the big screen in the 1970s -- went missing this weekend after telling friends he had to run some errands.

BREAKING NEWS: Legendary 'Superman' Producer -- Missing In Mexico

Ilya Salkind, co-Producer of "Superman: The Movie", "Superman II", "Superman III", "Supergirl", "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut", and "Superboy: The TV Series", has been reported as being missing in Mexico City, according to website TMZ. Salkind, 63, came up with the idea in 1974 to produce a series of live-action films starring the Man of Steel. Salkind grew up in Mexico and owned property there. According to TMZ:


The 63-year-old, who was born in Mexico City, had traveled south of the border to handle a property he inherited from his mother who passed away a few years ago.

Friends of Salkind tell us ... members of Ilya's staff last saw the legendary producer at his estate in Mexico on Sunday as he was on his way to "handle some errands and get some dental work done."

However, Salkind has not returned -- and yesterday, his friends filed a missing persons report with Mexican authorities.
