Who needs a Thanksgiving parade when they can have Halloween celebration?

The cast of Glee might not be welcome to perform during NBC’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but they will still have a stadium full of supporters.

On October 31, the FOX stars will hit the field during Game 3 of the World Series. The performance - which will take place in either LA or Philadelphia - will come at the start of the game when the cast members sing the National Anthem.

Just as we’re nearly a week away from the season two premiere of Dollhouse, producer and star of the sci-fi action-drama Eliza Dushku took some time to drop some hints of what’s to come during her appearance at Fox’s Fall Eco-Casino Party.

Dushku reveals that Echo acquires help from Paul, confirms Summer Glau’s guest starring, divulges Topher’s “field trip” from the Dollhouse, and spills some wedding details.

Check out a video of creator Joss Whedon sharing some more Dollhouse season two fun facts after the jump!

First Look: Dollhouse Season Two Promos

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX

Fox has released promotional photos for Joss Whedon’s latest brain-numbing action-drama show, Dollhouse, and let’s just say that he’s truly working with that small budget.

Aside from Echo’s psychedelic-colored, blatantly-literal dollhouse room, the individual cast members (photos after the jump) get kicked to the dumpy, $5 wannabe-Fisher-Price house. Season two of Dollhouse airs Friday, September 25.

On a side note, I’m still not yet prepared for Amy Acker’s impending absence. Will I really have to watch ABC’s Happy Town to get my Amy fix?

Small Budget Won’t Get in Whedon’s Way

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, FOX, Announcements, Gossip, News, Renewals, Rumors

Folks over at Dollhouse are already two weeks into plotting its next season, and creator Joss Whedon could care less about the major budget cut this time around.

“I just wanted to die of tiredness. About two hours after starting to talk to the writers about story, I was back with such a vengeance, and so energized and so pumped because we really understand the show now. We understand what works, and what didn’t work so well or what we weren’t so thrilled about. We don’t have the onus of trying to be a big hit sitting on our shoulders. We can just be ourselves. And so the stories we’re breaking are pure, and exciting, and everybody’s on-board in the room, and it’s never flowed better.”

Yoohoo—do you hear that, Fox?

“Really, just every meeting is like, ‘What’s the most fun we can have with this actor?’ about the whole cast. All I can say—‘cause I’m gonna be Mr. Un-Spoiler—is that we’re having a crazy amount of fun, and usually, that tends to translate onto the screen,” he tells EW.

Dollhouse: Does it Look as Bad as We Had Feared?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, Video

Okay - let’s face it. On paper, Dollhouse already sounds like a potential disaster.

Back in July, creator Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel) announced he would be shooting a new pilot for his FOX series. Two months later, production on the show was temporarily halted while scripts were being tweaked.

Dollhouse Stops Production for More Rework

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, News

Should we start worrying about FOX’s mid-season schedule?

Less than a week after learning that 24‘s production had temporarily shut down, we’re getting word about another work stoppage. According to studio execs, Joss Whedon’s new series, Dollhouse, is once again getting a pre-premiere touch up.

Just over a month ago, the show’s creator announced that he was in the process of writing a whole new pilot. This decision was deemed necessary to help clear up any possible confusion. Now filming is being placed on pause for more scripting adjustments.

Joss Whedon Rearranges Dollhouse Schedule

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, News

Although we still have months to go before the premiere of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon followers may already have a reason to be worried. The show’s creator has just announced that he’ll be shooting a whole new pilot for his FOX show.

Dollhouse, the second Whedon creation for that network (he was also the man behind Firefly), stars Buffy vet Eliza Dushku as one of several agents for hire. Their abilities and memories, which are specifically crafted for each client, are immediately erased after an assignment is completed.

After showing Episode #1 to FOX execs - and even friend David Lynch - it was agreed that series could start off on a better note. In fact, some apparently found the segment confusing. To remedy the situation, Whedon is crafting a prequel that will air just before the pilot episode. He believes this will help introduce the characters better.

Fox Hypes Up Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, 24, Announcements, Internet, News, Video

Feeling quite guilty that I haven’t come across the Dollhouse trailer until now, I felt like I should make up for it by doing Fox a favor and spreading the love!

The trailer for this fall’s sci-fi drama (which you can check out after the jump) has been out and about on YouTube and select TV spots, getting many pretty excited about its premiere. After all, it is  Joss Whedon’s first series since Firefly, which went off the air back in 2003 (surprisingly with the same network his new show is on).

Dollhouse, starring former Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BTVS) favorite Eliza Dushku, focuses on a clandestine, illegal operation carried out by agents who have their memories and personalities completely erased after each mission. Dushku plays Echo, one operative who slowly starts to learn more and more about where she works over time—she becomes a known flaw in the system, if you will.

The series premieres in January on Fox, right before 24 in the Monday 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT spot.

Long-Awaited Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reunion

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, FX, NBC, UPN, WB, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements, News

It has been nearly five years since that fateful May night when BTVS fans witnessed the end of their beloved TV series. The following years, fans have intently watched as their favorite characters have branched off to new projects, leaving little hope of a BTVS movie, which so many “Buffy” lovers have longed and hoped for. Unfortunately, there are still no concrete plans of a movie, but fans have the Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio) to be eternally grateful to—they have announced a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion on Thursday, March 20th at the historic Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, CA!
