Whedon and Dushku Play with Dollhouse - see link for full article

Variety says Dushku will star in the Whedon-penned series "Dollhouse," which has been given a seven-episode order by Fox.

"Dollhouse" follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse").

The show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions.

*hops from one foot to the other* ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!

Joss and Eliza working together again = win

Concept of the show = win

Eliza playing a sex-ass spy with issues = win

It's official Dollhouse FTW!

I am SO happy with this news! Let's just hope that FOX has learned its lesson when it comes to Joss and that it will give Dollhouse a full season. After they screwed the pooch with Firefly, hopefully they've realized that Joss Whedon shows attract awesomely fanatical fans and that these people will physically force others to watch it and that the numbers will grow.

i'm afraid to get too excited lest FOX fuck viewers in the ass like they always do when they air cool shows and then yank them well before they have a chance to build an audience.

I know! It's like the curse of Fox. They keep on developing these awesome shows and then they totally abandon them before they've even had a shot. Why Fox, why do you have to be such a bad, neglectful parent?

having said that...this is the best news i've heard in a very long time.

I know. I know I should try and be stoic and not get invested in it, but I can't not with the players that are involved in it.
