Praise the heavens, Joss Whedon is returning to television. The creator of cult favorite shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Angel has signed a new deal with Fox for a new action-drama series, reports TVWeek.com. Titled Dollhouse, the show will star former Buffy player Eliza Dushku as a secret agent named Echo. However, she won't be simply flashing a badge and kicking criminals in the face. Each of the agents in Echo's group can have abilities and personalities uploaded into themselves for specific assignments; when they complete the assignment, the memories are wiped from their minds. Dushku's character eventually begins to figure out what is transpiring and realizes that she is being used. "[Dollhouse] deals with our darkest impulses and our best ones," Whedon said. "It deals with all the things I like to deal with--strength, weakness, power, and corruption." Dollhouse has been given a seven-episode commitment with Fox, and is expected to premiere sometime next year. The idea apparently came to Whedon over a recent lunch meeting with Dushku. As for the tone of the show, Whedon thinks that Buffy fans will be pleased. "If [Buffy fans] could only see what's in my head right now... They should be [excited]," Whedon told TVWeek. This marks Whedon's first return to running a television show since Buffy spinoff Angel went off the air in 2004. This also ends Whedon's standoff with Fox, which came about after the network canceled Firefly after only 11 episodes (which were shown out of order). "It's a brand new day over [at Fox]," said Whedon. "It's a completely new bunch of people and they seem really intelligent and supportive." Whedon is also working on Ripper, another Buffy spinoff, as well as taking the occasional guest directing spot on The Office. YA YA ! Whedon is back, so is Eliza Whedon再退出wonder woman電影版之後終於又回到電視圈(話說這部電影已經難產到 一個很奇怪的階段了.可能連閃電挾跟綠燈俠都拍好還是不會看到wonder woman電影版吧) Dollhouse目前出來的劇情大綱是Eliza飾演的Echo是一名探員.不過既然是Whedon的戲 當然是有特別之處.Echo與他的組員是在每一次接到任務之後才被輸入特別的能力和個性 但在任務完成之後,記憶就會自動被清除.最終是Echo開始想辦法找出自己到底發生什麼事 首映應該是在明年.先跟浮屍簽7集約.不過這個決定很奇怪啦,想當年的Firefly 11集就被 腰斬,還沒照順序播(跟The Inside的命運差不多)不知道Whedon是幹麻想不開 除了Dollhouse之外,Whedon手上的另一個案子是Buffy的spin-off "Ripper"這也是相當 令人期待的影集 看到這個消息心情真是好阿XDDDDDDDDDD --
