Joss Whedon's Dollhouse

Casting Notes have been released. I’m sure I speak for all the Whedon nerds here when I say I’m very excited.

Apparently it should start shooting in about six weeks, and will be on in the fall.

They’re apparently doing one episode and only one episode before work shuts down because of the SAG strike. As a hardcore Whedon fan, though, I can’t get excited for this at all.

Those character names are annoying to me. Then again, Harmony and Gunn and Willow probably looked dumb on paper, too.

You can’t get excited about Whedon returning to television? How? Not even a little?

I certainly can..

Of course if it is any good I won’t get to see it on television in Australia.

I look forward to enjoying only two episodes of this when it plays on Friday nights in July of 2009.

Let me restate: I love Whedon. TV is where Whedon belongs, and I’m excited he’s coming back. I will be there opening night, or whatever. My point is that the concept just seems so tired, especially for him, that I’m somewhat skeptical. Somewhat. Also, because the last time one of my writing heroes “returned to tv”, I got burned and bad. Joss Whedon is not Aaron Sorkin, but you understand my point. I don’t want to put my faith in this project and be let down again.

But I guarantee the odds are pretty good that I’ll be a convert the first trailer I see.

Well guys the first trailer is here!

Youtube here
Quicktime Here

I have to say I’m hugely excited about this. It’s going to start in January and will be shown on Mondays after 24.

Edit: Ignore how crappy the font is at the beginning. And also “This is the happiest day of my life” is great.

Looking forward to it.

I’m loking forward to the five episodes that’ll air before it’s canceled.

What’s with the bare feet? Whedon have a foot fetish or something?

Oh, Joss. It’s good to have you back.

It helps me tell who’s a Doll, sets them apart, makes them unique from the others. Not that it’s hard to tell… But it’s something small and organic, subtle. I like it.

Sounds like a concept that will require some actual acting to make it work. Not sure Dushku can pull it off…

Hell, I’m in. I want to see where JW goes with this.

I love the Whed, but that scene was awfully stilted. However, Eliza’s low-cut dress made up for it.

Oh, this has no chance of remotely succeeding, does it? It would be nice to have a weekly dose of Olivia Williams, but I won’t get my hopes up.

what the fuck kind of clip was that?

To me, that did absolutely nothing to sell the show, except to show that Dushku is in prime physical form…so yea, ill be tuning in.

Why does there always have to be a clueless audience-surrogate law enforcer, one step behind the main characters, in these kind of shows?

So they can fall in love. And the LEO can sacrifice either his/her life or career for the one they’re tracking!
