Visiting Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" today
It's the last day of TV critics' summer press tour — our press conferences ended Monday with NBC but today, we have some sets to visit. And at the top of my list is a trip to get an early glimpse of "Dollhouse," the new series starring Eliza Dushku (above).
UPDATE: Here's my report on my eye-popping visit to the "Dollhouse" set.
Last week at the Fox party I spoke with Joss Whedon, who created "Dollhouse" and numerous other shows, including his instant online classic, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," which at four bucks is a bargain (I paid). He spoke about the production challenges facing "Dollhouse" that compelled him to shoot essentially a second pilot for the series. Since our talk Whedon has given a much longer answer at his website, but this is the shorter oral-history version:
The only thing he didn't mention in our interview was the co-ed showers. As you will see below, they appeared in the original pilot ... and Whedon confirmed to , uh, his own the Whedonesque site that they will remain in the show, for those of you who make viewing decisions based on such criteria.
