I know what you’re thinking: “Uh oh. FOX is doing it again.” Another Joss Whedon show, another FOX cancellation? I won’t blame you for thinking so after what FOX did to Whedon’s last show on the network, Firefly. Whedon’s latest show on the network is Dollhouse, starring Eliza Dushku, and according to Whedon himself, he is currently reshooting the pilot. Why? Whedon answers all (humorously, as always) on his official site.


A couple of new promo images for Joss Whedon’s upcoming FOX sci-fi show Dollhouse, below. The show stars Eliza Dushku (who last worked with Whedon on Angel and before that, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Echo, a young woman whose memories are erased after each mission she completes for a secret, private organization. Things get complicated when Echo starts to remember her past “lives”, and a cop (played by Tahmoh Penikett) starts snooping around the Dollhouse.

I think I’ve finally discovered why Joss Whedon always casts really cute girls like Eliza Dushku in his TV shows — so he can do goofy promos like this one, where he gets to be fondled by Eliza. Here’s a brief minute and a half promo that Whedon and Dushku did for FOX to promote their new show Dollhouse, which premieres on the network in the Fall.

You can forgive Joss Whedon’s fans for being a little leery of FOX. After all, this is the same network that axed their beloved Firefly before the show even had a decent chance at survival. FOX has always been notorious for greenlighting geek-tastic shows, only to kill it before it even has a chance. So what does that mean for Joss Whedon’s latest, the Eliza Dushku starring Dollhouse? No one knows, of course, since the show has yet to air, but that’s not going to stop the guys and dolls over at DollhouseForums.com from already thinking of ways to “save” the show.

Wasn’t it just earlier today that I posted an interview with Dollhouse creator Joss Whedon about how the show came about? Well forget about that, because at this moment we have the two-minute trailer for the upcoming show, which was created and shown to the media at the recent FOX upfront show, where networks present their shows, new and old, to the press. The trailer is called “Where Are You”, and the show stars Eliza Dushku, Olivia Williams, and Tahmoh Penikett.

Joss Whedon’s new show on Dollhouse, which just got a guaranteed 7-episode order from FOX, is one of my most anticipated shows of the new season for two reasons: 1) I’ve always been a fan (re: lusted over) Eliza Dushku; and 2) This is my chance to get on the ground floor of a Whedon show before it blows up and I have to hear about it from other people who seems to love it with every fiber of their being. So, here’s an article from the L.A. Times about how Whedon came up with the show.

I swear, I’m not trying to turn the site into a pseudo Dollhouse fansite, but it just so happens that Joss Whedon has been great about releasing information about his new show on FOX, and as a sci-fi blogger, I wanna thank you for not being stingy like a lot of other creators out there. According to Whedon’s main fansite, Whedonesque, comes news that former Whedon angel Amy Acker (pictured, left), along with Miracle Laurie, has joined the cast of Dollhouse! And yes, I am very excited about this.

The casting for Joss Whedon’s FOX series Dollhouse has gotten pretty hot and heavy of late. The latest (and last?) addition comes from another FOX show, 24, where Harry Lennix played a character named Walid Al-Rezani. I don’t even remember who Walid Al-Rezani is on the show, but then again, 24 has so many characters coming and going, it’s hard to remember all of them unless they really make an impact. In any case, Lennix will be playing an ex-cop whose mission is to guard Echo, played by Eliza Dushku.

Kristin over at E! Online has even more details and semi-SPOILERS about Joss Whedon’s new TV series for FOX, the Eliza Dushku (pictured, left) starrer Dollhouse. We’ve already reported extensively on the new show, and buy now you pretty much know all you need to know. But just in case you don’t, here are the breakdowns: the first episode, the pilot, will be called “Echo”, which is the name of Eliza Dushku’s character; BSG’s Tahmoh Penikett plays an FBI agent and Echo’s eventual love interest; and Olivia Williams plays Adelle Dewitt, the head of the Dollhouse, where the “dolls” are kept until they’re needed for a mission.
