SDCC 08: Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku talk Dollhouse

[EpitathN1]

i feel kinda sorry for Joss

Joss is of the most unique and genius creators out there, an Fox has really screwed him over.

they cancelled firefly, and didnt air 3 episodes, then they prevented him from creating more movies with the Firefly name, since Fox still owned the rights.

Then they cancelled the highly underrated and unpromoted Dollhouse

FOX are such Bastards

[Steelyden]

i second that. Fox are in it for the money, they keep talent from manifesting itself, exactly like the firefly rights and now dollhouse, and sarah connor..grrr..i wish the viewers had a say and a way of supporting this project to go on.

Whedon = God

Dushku = Goddess

[Browncoatt22]

Dollhouse was a good show ruined by her. Tru Calling was an ok show ruined by her. The woman is very attractive but CANNOT ACT. Even when she was in Buffy she couldn't act, it just didn't matter too much then because she wasn't the focus of the show. When she beacame the lead in those shows she showed how little range & depth she really had. She has no emotional ressonance, no ability to play a complex individual, & no charisma whatsoever. Whedon needs to find himself a worthy muse

[Altonahk]

@Browncoatt22 Really? You don't think she can act? She's among the best. Your obviously lacking in the mental capacity.

[Browncoatt22]

@Altonahk I think you're confusing acting with attractiveness. Eliza Dushku seems like a really nice person, a smart person, and someone who dedicates time to charity etc, so a caring person too. She is also super pretty of course. But she cannot act. Maybe small parts like Faith in Buffy becuse she wasn't the focus of the show. But when she was given Dollhouse and became the protagonist, it became all too obvious that she just doesn't have the acting capability to pull off a lead role. Sorry.

[Browncoatt22]

@Altonahk Also? It's "you're" not "your". But I'M the one lacking mental capacity of course ;)

[PackageSeverance]

when do we get to see him posing in a stained speedo and granny bra

[hollowbastiongrl]

w/e fpx can suck it. they're canceling this like they do all the good shows.

[trickpanda]

I HATE THAT JOSS SAID he 'doesn't have license' to do what he wants. fuck you fox!!!!

[fooljeff]

he said he doesn't have a license to do such crazy stuff because its set in the real world. Unlike Buffy were he could have crazy ass demons doing whatever all the time.

[trickpanda]

he and eliza created the show- a SCIFI show where peoples' entire memories can be erased...it's not exactly real world- there's a lot of opportunities for joss to be his creative self...but i'm sure fox shot a lot of it down- i know this bc fox asked him to reshoot the pilot- one of the reasons why the premier was pushed back into february. joss has said in interviews, he should've expected fox to want things a certain way bc he's worked w/ them before- aka HE DOESNT HAVE CREATIVE FREEDOM.

[trickpanda]

i miss the days the WB and UPN let him do whatever he wanted bc they knew he was the shit. so again i say FUCK YOU FOX.

[Abreil2772]

I hope Geller makes an appearance!

[foreverphantoms]

Happy 29th B-day Eliza!!!

[foreverphantoms]

I accidently hit 9 instead of 8. She's 28. Still, happy birthday.

[shinycrazy]

They do tend to typecast Eliza.A badass, or A rebel/ Outsider and or sometimes slutty. I know she has range I mean I feel that theres such a gap from the roles shes played and herself. I can't what for Dollhouse.

[geraintsouthgateBTVS]

just on Buffy even though she was origionaly a "Bad girl" she still managed to make the character realy diverse and add so many layers, i mean when she played missy in bring it on that character was also a "bad girl" but the way eliza played it was sooo different. i think shes great, and dollhouse is awsum x

[TazziToz]

Im so excited about this show coming out! Joss is amazing and I have no doubt in my mind this show will live up to all the hype and expectations i have!

[foreverphantoms]

Bottom line, Eliza is a goddess when it comes to just about everything! She's talented, she's beautiful, and is extremely nice compared to most hollywood people. Tru was amazing and Faith was...too good for words, and I can't wait to see how she does with Echo. I have no doubt that with such a dinamic duo behind the show, its going to go far! Its up to the fans to keep it going though!

[emmjay2662]

You are so RIGHT on!!! Dynamic indeed. Go Eliza & Go Joss!!!

[Myra1991JR]

LOL, I love it when she was like: "As you can tell I'm in and out of your frame" Eliza is probably one of the most down to earth people I've ever come across in this business...It's really cute how quirky she gets everytime she's really excited about something. Loved her on her last show TC and I can't even begin to express my perennial admiration for her portrayal as Faith on BTVS and Angel...Come January Eliza and Amy Acker are gonna rock nationwide television!

[naleyluver]

I love Joss. I love Eliza. I know this will be great. I can't wait. The promo looks awesome. I always wanted Eliza to get her own show created by Joss.

[dudedd1234]

cool :D
