One of the greatest scenes in Frank Miller's graphic novel Batman: Year One is the dinner party that Batman crashes, in which he warns Gotham's rich and mighty that from this moment on, none of them is safe. Now you can watch that scene brought to life, in the first clip from the Batman: Year One direct-to-DVD animated movie. More »

Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku, who's apparently off traveling and volunteering in Africa, just Twittered this message: "DOLLHOUSE talk's are goin' on~ it'd be an extravaganza bonanza to return 4 rnd 2!" So fingers crossed - maybe creator Joss Whedon can revamp the show enough that the network feels excited about putting it on a better night? Oh and she posted this pic of Whedon and herself the other day. [Thanks Nick Botfield!] More »

They're too racy, too raw. There's enough tongue in them to make a director blush — and so much grabby-hands that the director, producer, and writer hit the ground in a dead faint. Or maybe it's just good suspense to deprive characters of some desperately needed mouth-on-mouth. The Blu-Ray release of The X-Files: Fight the Future brought with it some never-before-seen footage of Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny sucking serious face, so we dug up even more deleted scenes of makeout sessions that were too sexy for your screens. Warning: Eliza Dushku, David Tennant, Julianne Moore, Robert Downey, Jr., and a great deal of hotness within. More »

The biggest question mark hanging over Joss Whedon's challenging new show Dollhouse is how do you explain its premise (about mindwiped puppets for hire) to casual viewers? Take Lost: it's a show about a plane crash that strands people on an island. The show becomes way more complex, but it started fairly simple. Luckily, this new trailer, just released by Fox, goes a long way towards distilling Dollhouse into an easy-to-digest concept. The key is probably that it mentions the word "soul." More »

Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse may be the most challenging work he's ever created. It's about a woman (Eliza Dushku) whose mind has been erased to make her the perfect malleable companion, plaything or tool for the wealthy. It sounded too weird for any network, but especially for the notoriously impatient Fox. And for months, everyone connected with the show has been downplaying reports of trouble, including the shooting of a new pilot and a brief hiatus in production. Nothing to see here, no worries, we've been told. Until now — when Whedon himself popped up on his fansite Whedonesque to say that the show really had just gone through a horrendous crisis. Which is now over. We think. More »
]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5069092&view=rss&microfeed=true If you believe Eliza Dushku, Fox's Dollhouse isn't in as much danger as we've worried about. Emailing the Boston Globe this weekend, Dushku channeled the 1990s as best she could, saying "'Dollhouse' is NOT in danger/suffering... We, the network, and FOX all are PSYCHED for the next episode . . . It's beyond dope." So now we know, even if we feel like Eliza should get out a bit more as a result. [Boston Globe] More »

We told you earlier this week that new Joss Whedon series Dollhouse has shut down production for two weeks, along with passing along the official Fox statement that everything is fine and that there's nothing to see here, move along.

Some script pages from Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's new show about mind-wiped agents who can be programmed to become anyone, have turned up online. They show an even creepier side of Eliza Dushku's brainwashed character Echo than you might have been expecting. And they simultaneously make me more excited for Dollhouse and more dubious that a mainstream audience will appreciate it. Do we have to say spoilers ahead? More »

Joss Whedon's new TV show, Dollhouse, is all about people whose minds are erased, allowing them to "become" anybody and have any skills. So does this mean Whedon is coming down on the "nurture" side of the nature/nurture debate? Are people purely shaped by their conditioning? Is your brain just a piece of hardware that you can run any software on? We caught up with Whedon and asked him. His answer may surprise you. More »

One of the most eagerly-anticipated series to hit airwaves early next year will be Joss "Firefly" Whedon's Dollhouse, starring Eliza "Buffy" Dushku and Tahmoh "BSG" Penikett. It's the tale of "actives," people who volunteer to have their personalities wiped and new ones implanted for clients who need special tasks done (from romantic ones to spy stuff). We're here, liveblogging at the Dollhouse panel with Whedon, Dushku, and Penikett. Updates below. More »

Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse is a perfect metaphor for the lives of every woman nowadays, claims Niecy Nash from Do Not Disturb in this video from E! Online. Just like the mind-wiped puppets in Dollhouse, who can be "imprinted" with different personalities, women have to inhabit lots of different personas. Meeting Whedon and star Eliza Dushku, Nash has an idea for an upcoming episode: Dushku wakes up one day as a "sassy black woman with a gorgeous rack." Both Whedon and Dushku seem to be into it, so you never know. (The rest of the video is at the link.) [E! Online] More »

Why are the "dolls" in Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse barefoot in this new cast photo? Is it to accentuate their pajama-clad innocence in their "blank" state, while they're awaiting programming to turn them into brain surgeons or master jewel thieves? After the jump, more pictures of Eliza Dushku looking hot, which also show off the cavernous and brightly lit Dollhouse set — which sort of looks like the evil law firm Wolfram And Hart from Whedon's Angel.

Dollhouse will be about "identity, self-determination" and the fact that "free will is both a blessing and a pain in the ass, " says creator Joss Whedon, who helped revolutionize science fiction with his space western Firefly. Also important strands in the show: Joss' view that Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation "is a great TV character," and the hotness of star Eliza Dushku. Joss spilled tons of details on the Dollhouse pilot, plus the first script review just popped up online. Spoilers, as they say, ahead. More »
