Posts with tag: dollhouse-tv | Return to FantasySFBlog.com Homepage Access Hollywood Talks to Joss and Eliza Access Hollyood's Laura Saltman visits Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushkum on the set of Dollhouse and she actually goes there. She asks about the Friday night timeslot and the comparisons to the Firefly situation. Joss looks really uncomfortable, but gamely answers the question. Eliza does much better, pointing out that she never watches shows when they air, but always Tivos them. Good point. Take a look: Posted on December 3, 2008 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) We really can't believe this is happening just as we feared it might. Last week we learned that Fox has exiled Joss Whedon's upcoming show Dollhouse to a Friday night Death Timeslot, just after we heard Joss say that after reshooting the pilot that all was well with the show and the network brass. Now, The L.A. Times is reporting that the script for the seventh episode was so bad that the show may stop production -- again -- so Joss can fix it. On Thursday, it became obvious that the problems persist. Production on the seventh episode, which is supposed to begin Monday, is being delayed at least a day because the script was in such bad shape, according to a source who requested anonymity. The script for the sixth episode also had big problems, causing production delays that left the cast and crew very frustrated, the source said.This show has had more drama than a season of Angel -- and it hasn't even aired yet. We don't know if we can stand the strain of waiting to see if the show will actually air, or if it's all been some kind of horrible practical joke Fox is playing on us.

We certainly hope the rewrites are going well. Not to be Debbie Downer or anything, but we're convinced Fox is going to wreck this show just as surely as they wrecked Firefly. We're just saying. Let's hope we're wrong. Posted on September 25, 2008 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View)
Joss Whedon has shut down production on his new show, Dollhouse, for rewrites. The shutdown will last about two weeks and shouldn't delay the show. Filming on "Dollhouse" stopped Thursday after wrapping episode three. It came upon request from creator/exec producer Whedon, who had had spent little time in the writers room lately, busy directing the first two episodes of the series. Not completely happy with the quality of upcoming scripts, he asked producing studio 20th TV for a timeout.If Joss says the show needs rewrites, then it needs rewrites. And he's just the guy to get things whipped into shape.

that he's finalized the cast for Dollhouse. Amy Acker (pictured on left) and Miracle Laurie (on right) have joined the ensemble.
Hi campers. We're having the read-through of the script today. Why would I be nervous? YOU'RE nervous! Anyhoo, I just couldn't resist letting you know that the recurring roles have actually been cast for some time now. I'm shocked that any part of our casting process hasn't been leaked somehow. And though I'm a fan of secrets, I'll give you the last two pieces of this particular puzzle:Amy Acker is a fan favorite and Miracle Laurie is a relative unknown. It's an interesting cast: we'll see how well they work together.

Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett, who plays Helo, Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman and Enver Gjokaj have all signed on for the show. "Dollhouse" revolves around a group of young men and women who are imprinted with different personalities for different assignments. They have no memories of their previous lives, until Echo (Dushku) begins to try to find out who she was. Penikett will play Paul Smith, an FBI field agent obsessed with the urban myth of Dollhouse and a twisted romantic foil for Echo.The show was greenlit for seven episodes before the writers' strike and we're really looking forward to seeing it. It's produced by Fox, though. You know what they did to Firefly. Enough said. Posted on March 26, 2008 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) |
