Best. News. Evah!
Joss Whedon, the creator of acclaimed cult favorites “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel” and “Firefly,” is returning to Fox and reuniting with “Buffy” regular Eliza Dushku for a new action-drama called “Dollhouse.”
Fox has given a seven-episode commitment to the 20th Century Fox Television project for a planned debut next year.
“It deals with our darkest impulses and our best ones,” Whedon says. “It deals with all the things I like to deal with—strength, weakness, power and corruption.”
“Dollhouse” stars Dushku as Echo, one of a group of secret agents living in a futuristic dorm. Each has the ability to be imprinted with custom personalities and abilities for special assignments. When they return, their newly acquired memories are wiped. The show follows Echo as she takes on a variety of assignments—some romantic, some adventurous, some uplifting, some illegal—and gains awareness of her role and confinement.
That sound you heard was bazillions of Whedonites squeeeeeeeeing.
Here's another interview with Joss and Eliza from E!Online.
This really is so cool. It sounds like an interesting premise, especially in the hands of Joss.
So, yahoo!
