The un-aired "Dollhouse" episode will debut at Comic-Con

10 July 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

While the fate of Dollhouse was yet unknown, Felicia Day scared us all by tweeting that she had filmed an Episode 13 that wouldn’t air.

Fortunately, we soon learned that Fox had smiled kindly on us and we’d be seeing more Eliza Dollhouse next season.

The Dollhouse: Season One DVD, which will be released July 28, will include the missing episode, “Epitaph One,” and lucky San Diego Comic-Con attendees will get to see it a few days early as a part of a two-hour session at the convention.

According to an interview with Joss Whedon, the episode is a post-apocalyptic story that was never intended to air, but was filmed because the studio needed 13 episodes for foreign markets. In this 30-second clip from “Epitaph One” a very scared and confused Whiskey (Amy Acker) is confronted by a group of armed guards, one of whom is Day.

Dollhouse Switches Season Two Premiere

8 July 2009 6:31 AM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

The second season of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse will premiere Friday, Sept. 25 (9:00-10:00 Pm Et/Pt) on Fox. Series creator and executive producer Joss Whedon will write and direct the episode that will set the stage for Season Two.

In Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku stars as "Echo," an "Active" in a highly illegal and underground group of individuals whose personalities have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the Dollhouse, the Actives are hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected to wholly become - with mind, personality and physiology - whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time - or do they?

"Dollhouse" gets ready to go gay

18 June 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

In a world where a human’s mind can be erased and reprogrammed with an infinite number of personalities, you’d think at least one of them would turn out to be gay, right? Well, Dollhouse fans, your wait for its big gay moment may soon be over.

Series star Eliza Dushku told MTV blog Hollywood Crush that a there would definitely be storylines following gay and lesbian characters in the show’s second season. Can I get a hell yeah?

Eliza also dropped more hints about both the new season and the first season’s elusive, unaired thirteenth episode. The latter, she said, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world showing what the Dollhouse “can and would evolve to.” Also, expect the return of doll-gone-demented Alpha (Alan Tudyk) and the possibility of a appearance by fellow Whedonverse alum Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Castle).

Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse Gets a Second Season

15 May 2009 9:47 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

According to The Live Feed, Fox has green lit a 13 episode second season for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. The new series has built up a strong fan base over the last few weeks but hasn’t delivered strong ratings in its Friday night timeslot, leading many to assume the show wouldn’t return. The series, about a futuristic laboratory that assigns different tasks to its various residents, who then have their memories erased upon the completion of their assignments, stars Eliza Dushku, Harry Lennix, Fran Kranz, Tahmoh Penikett, Enver Gjokaj, Dichen Lachman and Olivia Williams. The Feed speculates on some of the reasons Fox opted to bring the series back, which include strong DVR numbers (averaging a 40% bump) as well as the potential for strong DVD sales, which has been the case for past Whedon shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly). In addition to DVRs and DVD sales, online streaming of the show has improved.

Dollhouse: Fox Series Renewed for Season Two

15 May 2009 7:40 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

In one of the bigger surprises of the season, Fox's Dollhouse will return for a second year.

The latest Joss Whedon show was initially highly-touted by the network but was then saddled with a Friday night timeslot. The hope was that Dollhouse could help struggling Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Unfortunately, Sarah Connor proved to be a poor lead-in for Eliza Dushku, Harry Lennix, Fran Kranz, Olivia Williams, and company and both shows suffered. Once Sarah Connor finished, Prison Break returned and as a lead-in, it was even worse.

Based on the TV ratings alone, Dollhouse would be headed for the attic but it seems that Fox is looking at the big picture -- including numbers for DVR and online streaming. As a result, the network has renewed Dollhouse for a second season of 13 episodes.

Part of the deciding factor was that the show's budget would need to be trimmed

British Cast Lined Up for Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll

22 April 2009 2:45 AM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

Director Mat Whitecross has lined up one hell of a fantastic British cast for Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, his in-development biopic about punk legend Ian Dury. Naomie Harris, Ray Winstone, Olivia Williams, Noel Clarke, Toby Jones, MacKenzie Crook and Bill Milner have all signed on to star in the film opposite Andy Serkis, who plays the polio-afflicted frontman. Whitecross is gearing up to start shooting in London on May 3rd. The script was written by actor Paul Viragh and the project is being produced by Damian Jones. While I don't know much about Ian Dury, this sounds like a great project to keep our eye on as it develops. Dury was the lead singer of the British band Ian Dury and the Blockheads, who, with other bands like the Talking Heads, ushered in the New Wave era in the late 1970s. He was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 ...

Dollhouse 1.4 to 1.7

30 March 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

Eeek. This is why I don't write about TV. It's always on and thus too easy to fall behind in. I haven't mentioned Dollhouse in nearly four weeks. I can't offer the extensive write-ups I did last time, but here are a few quick thoughts. I've started each of these posts with a photo of a doll. Subtle! But today let's go with this painting of a Doll holding a doll. It's my beloved Pris from Blade Runner.

blade runner 'pris' by ~sigma958 on deviantART

She's the right iconic character to throw up because she's a pleasure model. That isn't far from what the Dolls in Dollhouse are... except they're not androids but actual humans. Though sometimes I think the writers get confused.

1.4 "Gray Hour" I'm struggling to remember this episode. Echo (Eliza Dushku) was imprinted to be a master thief, helping to steal priceless art. As usual things went very wrong.
