Meet The Woman Who Pulls Joss Whedon's Puppet Strings Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse, about an amnesiac puppet (Eliza Dushku) who can be programmed to be anyone and have any skills, got another castmember today. Olivia Williams, who was Bruce Willis' wife in The Sixth Sense, will play Adelle, who runs the Dollhouse and ruthlessly crushes anyone who gets in her way. (But she's secretly lonely.) In a separate piece of casting news, Ving Rhames has joined the cast of Willis' new movie Surrogates, which we covered earlier today. Rhames will play the leader of a cult that believes people shouldn't only interact using robotic avatars, but should meet up in meatspace. Image by Wenn. [TV Guide, Moviehole]

M. Night's Latest Movie Just Ain't Happening

The poster for M. Night Shyamalan's latest theater-emptying film The Happening hit the net today, and it looks like he's fallen even farther out of touch with audiences. At least he's still in love with apocalyptic scenarios. In The Happening all plantlife on Earth has started spraying an invisible neurotoxin that kills anyone who breathes it, and soon there are just a few remaining survivors who get led by Marky Mark Wahlberg into the realms of poor box-office receipts. Even the poster tagline just makes you feel like the marketing department half-assed this one: "We've Sensed It, We've Seen The Signs. Now... It's Happening." [ComingSoon]
