Crenshaw Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Something tells me you are a fan of Whedon, Rappy. :) I just hope it gets good ratings, so it doesn't end up as Firefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crenshaw Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah, Firefly was absolutely brilliant. Makes me sad when i hear there's nothing planned at all. Good thing i have these pictures of Dichen Lachman to cheer me up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Didn't Whedon already say it was too late, and that if any channels offered to start up firefly again now(or back when he said this) he just wouldn't anymore, the time had passed for it, he'd moved on to new things. so it's no wonder there's no plans if the guy behind the show said it won't happen and the whole cast has moved on.

The only thing us Firefly fans have to do is watch the season over and over again. Which never gets boring btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episode Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I kind of feel bad for Whedon. They jerked around with Firefly when it was on, and now this show gets put on Friday. No matter how good it is, I bet it doesn't get renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted February 9, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2009 "Dollhouse" has lots of photos floating around the Interweb, but David Strick's Hollywood Backlot has exclusive images you won't get anywhere else (until they steal them from us). Like earlier visits to productions of "Twilight," "Dexter," the recently-released "Coraline," new stablemate "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," and "Bone Deep" (a movie with currently in-trouble R&B star Chris Brown), David Strick has gotten access to some high-powered sets for great looks behind the action. "Dollhouse" is no exception. Take, for instance, a very bendy Eliza Dushku in one of the dolls' sleeping pods. In a conference call to the media for "Dollhouse" on Thursday, Joss Whedon was asked many questions that are sure to be topics of interest to some. A few of his answers: In terms of 'finding the show': It was probably most similar to "Angel" in the sense of what we had in our mind about what "Angel" was ultimately was different than what the network did. In our minds, it was darker ... The mandate was "give us the world of the show and not just the structure of the show" ... But there was some real questioning about what exactly we wanted to get at in terms of the humanity, what they do, and why people hire them, and you know, there's a sexual aspect to it, and it makes some people nervous. Part of the mandate of the show is to make people nervous. On humor: There is a lot of fun and a lot of humor in it. What it doesn't have is an inherent silliness that both "Buffy" and "Firefly" had, and even "Angel" ... This has to be a little bit more grounded in order for it to play ... Why Eliza?: She's overcome her homely shyness over these years. Eliza, apart from being, in my opinion, as great a star as I have ever known, has a genuinely powerful and electric and luminous quality that I've rarely seen. She's also a really solid person. She's a good friend. She's a feminist. She's an activist. She's interested in the people around her and she's got a lot of things going on. What keeps him going? Chardonnay. Will there be a comic book? No. Topics that he'd like to address? Identity, brainwashing, and perversion. And on the questions went for an hour or so. But the last question seemed to genuinely interest Joss in its mildly confrontational tone. Lisa Fary with Pinkraygun.com asked Joss about the Fox promo site the Echo Chamber and Joss' support of a sexually suggestive/exploitative campaign: I do support it. I saw the photo shoot, and I mostly support it because Eliza was very comfortable with it and very pleased with the photos. She's very comfortable with her body. The premise of the show involves these men and women being hired, and obviously some of that has to do with sex. This is something that was in the premise from the start ... I think some things will offend some people, some things will not. There are things in it that I'm not positive I support, and some of the things that bother me don't bother any of the other writers, and that's something that I've been a little bit afraid of, but I haven't shied away from ... The idea of this show was never to play it safe ... I may have crossed the line. Let's find out. Staying on the sexy track, in an earlier talk with Times reporter Maria Elena Fernandez, Whedon gets more in depth on his working relationship with women on the show, and the aspect of sexuality that the show will address: Joss Whedon: I never set out to hire women. I set out to hire good writers. The exception being that I did want women running the show. I did want them as co-exec with me. Because this premise is very delicate. There were times when I'd wake up in the middle of the night and go, "Oh my God, I've just written the sexy human trafficking show." It's terrifying to me. The show in the wrong hands would just be an exploitation fest. It would be "Red Shoe Diaries" without the class or panache. I want to do something that is sexy. That's one of the things Eliza and I talked about. She's interested in sexuality, not just "I'm a cute bunny," but human sexuality interests me. It's part of who we are and it's something that I'd like to talk about. That was one of the things she said before I had the idea. And sex is not the raison d'etre of what the actives are. But it's part of it. Everybody's fantasy, a lot of is going to involve a sexual aspect. It's not something I think is ugly. I think it's true. It's something I'm interested in and Eliza is too. But again, in the wrong hands, to walk the line between identification and objectification. Particularly with this premise. For this, I want a woman watching my back. And there are a few women I know who are great writers. Because they gotta be that. Liz [Craft] and Sarah [Fain] were the first ones I was hunting. When they got off "Women's Murder Club," I called them that day. They helped me break the pilot as soon as the strike ended. It's been invaluable. And beyond that it just wound up that way by luck. But then I noticed it for the first time when I heard some girl talk. "I really like the cuff of those pants." I was like, "Ah, girl talk. I'm safe. I'm home." Actually that was me and Tim Minear, by the way. [Source] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
