Under the Sea
“Smallville” co-creator Al Gough has spilled some details on the upcoming Aquaman TV show, which will star former model Will Toale as the exiled King of Atlantis.
The show, as yet untitled, will shoot a pilot in March and is expected to become a signature show on the WB in the fall. The concept is similar to that of “Smallville,” with Arthur Curry being a 20-something dive shop owner. Gough says the show will differ from “Smallville” in that Aquaman will be an adult who is struggling to find his place in the world instead of a teenager trying to figure out who he is. The show also will have a strong environmental theme.
Despite heavy involvement in such comicbook projects as “Smallville,” “Spider-Man 2,” a potential “Iron Man” script and now Aquaman, Gough says he and writing partner Miles Millar were not into comics before it became a professional concern.
“We always feel like outsiders because it’s not a world we came from,” Gough says of comics fandom. “It was interesting to play in the DC universe and to play in the Marvel universe as well,” he says. “I think by not being longtime comicbook fans you can bring a fresh perspective to the table because you’re not encumbered by what they did in issue 142.”
Gough says he and Millar chose Aquaman for a number of reasons, including such simple things as availability. “When we looked at Aquaman, it was an interesting story. He’s an exiled prince of Atlantis and, in our incarnation, he is living in the Florida Keys,” he says. Throw in the environmental angle and the fact that Aquaman’s mythology is far less complex and more open than Superman’s and the choice was clear. “Of all the other superheroes in the DC universe, he had the most real world agenda.”
"Smallville's" 100th episode is airing Jan. 26, and Daily Variety will publish a special report on the show's milestone that day.
