Dollhouse” creator Joss Whedon has expressed his disappointment at Fox’s decision to cancel the show.
“I don’t have a lot to say,” Whedon wrote in a post on Whedonesque.com. “I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star (Eliza Dushku), my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again.”
Joss Whedon has admitted that he is “not as depressed as everyone else” over the planned Dollhouse hiatus next month.
The show’s creator posted on his fansite Whedonesque.com: “Howzabout that schedule? Well, I’m not as depressed as everyone else. We weren’t about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there’s a chilly November, December is CRAZY (sic).”
He added: “It’s like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I’ll be leaning on Fox to do, though it’s hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony.”
Things are not looking good for Dollhouse, as it has been confirmed that the show will go on hiatus this November.
Fox has previously promised to broadcast the remaining episodes in full, however these will now be aired back to back in December.
Miracle Laurie, who plays November on the show, wrote on her Twitter: “Trying not to be depressed. Get ANYONE you can convince to watch #Dollhouse LIVE this Fri, cuz we won’t be back till Dec. see ya then!”
No Dollhouse hasn’t been cancelled (yet) but Joss Whedon has admitted that he will be directing an episode of Glee in the upcoming season.
Glee boss Ryan Murphy gushed:
“Joss directed one of the great musical episodes in the history of television on Buffy,” gushes Murphy, “so this is a great, if unexpected, fit. I’m thrilled he’ll be loaning us his fantastic groundbreaking talent.”
The following is an excerpt from Whedon’s post on the fan site Whedonesque:
E! have released some fab footage of an interview with Dollhouse’s Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku. In the clip they talk about how excited they are to have made it to their second season (even though they took a substantial budget cut to get there), how they plan to change and evolve during this season and how they intend to snag some more viewers so they make it to season three.
Dollhouse mastermind Joss Whedon has just confirmed that Amy Acker will return for Dollhouse season two.
E! Entertainment report that Amy was previously thought to have left the show, after signing on for ABC’s Happy Town. However Whedon confirmed that she will return as Dr. Claire Saunders for three episodes next season.
The Sci Fi Channel has acquired the rights to two of the biggest shows to emerge from America in the last year, Dollhouse and Knight Rider. Both programmes will be part of the channel’s UK digital spring programming line-up.
I know that personally I have been gagging to have a look at Joss Whedon’s latest offering which centres round a young woman who as a member of an illegal organization has her memories and personality wiped clean and imprinted with new ones in order to fulfill assignments catering to the wealthy and powerful. It’s great news that the show is finally coming to UK TV and though I could live without the Knight Rider remake I know many men (my hubby for one) are eagerly awaiting its return.
