Dollhouse: 08 Juli 2008

Nettes Interview zum Tie-In:

Did you envision a comic tie-in from the beginning?

No, not really or not realistically at least. We have the power to envision a great deal and the power to create very little, hence my plain non-Dr. Horrible jammies. So we may have envisioned a comic alongside the lunch boxes and inappropriately-awarded Oscars and so forth, but until Joss and Dark Horse talked, it didn’t become real in my head.

Das Prelude zu Dr. Horrible, geschrieben von Zack Whedon und uns die Psyche des Capt. Hammer vorstellend, gibt's noch immer auf dem Dark Horse Myspace zu finden. Zack Whedon, der übrigens im Gegensatz zum Rest des Dr. Horrible-Clans nicht bei Dollhouse, sonder bei Fringe mitmachen wird, laut Joss.

Gerüchte vertiefen sich

Und zwar die hier. Ich hab nachgefragt, turns out:

I will be on the crew barring an actors strike . The Pilot took seven days to shoot . The studio bought the pilot and agreed to 7 locked and 13 total episodes and it waqs deceided that 4 of seven pilot shooting days ( more than half) of the pilot be need to be re-shot . This usually means that they re-cast with that much of a re-do but who knows . The same Camera/ Grip / Electric departments shot the pilot so they liked the look of the show and the Director of Photography ( Ross Berryman lat of Ugly Betty ) or we would not have been asked to do the show run . Locations, used on the pilot may not be available for the series , etc ,etc....

Actual shooting is to begin on July 21st so we would need 2 weeks to prep / load trucks / scout locations /rig stages , pasically a full season load -in . If AFTRA ratifies the new contract ,and since this show is governed by AFTRA contract for actors we have a good shot if the ratify it . Results should be in on Tuesday July 8th...cross your fingers.

In any event , I hope it goes for a long time . If they do the full 13 it will shoot through Christmas and begin airing as promised in January 2009....seems far away don't it??

Everyone should keep up the VERY POSITIVE BUZZ.....

Tatsächlich wurde also mehr als die Hälfte von "Echo" neu gedreht. Oh well, das beurteilen fällt uns Laien natürlich schwer.

Heute gibt's also News bezüglich der Länge, es heißt also dran bleiben.

MTV interviewt Joss über alles

Aber auch über Dollhouse und Dr. Horrible:

“Dollhouse” — Whedon once swore off doing another show on FOX after “Firefly,” but come January, he’ll return to the network with “Dollhouse,” which has several Buffyverse alumni in its cast and crew, most notably Eliza Dushku as the show’s star, Amy Acker (Fred on “Angel”) as a recurring character, and Steven DeKnight (as a writer). “I tried not to make “Dollhouse” a family reunion,” Whedon said, “but I reluctantly read Amy, I realized I was the biggest idiot alive. I mean, how can I not have them come back? Have you seen them act?”

The pressure of returning to episodic television is bearing down on Whedon, though, since he’s again realizing that compared to comics, he has to keep to a tight schedule (he once famously delayed a few issues of “Fray” because of his work on “Firefly” — for about a year). Not that he doesn’t take his comics deadlines seriously, but if he has to skip a month’s issue, so be it — “It’ll just be that one month, and one month only, and never again,” he promises. “But we don’t have that luxury on TV. ‘Oh, yeah, you can come out a week later.’ Everything has to be taken care of. We just have to cowboy up and get it done.”

Which is all to say that despite the reunion factor, it’s not just “Joss’ friends having a goof,” as he puts it. “Which is what I do want people to think about Dr. Horrible.”

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog — Speaking of which, the trailer is now online for the webisodes, airing July 15, 17, and 19. More on this project to come, but for now, suffice to say that this was a labor of love. “In some cases, you work with people you know, and they’re reunions, and in some cases, they’re just the people I hang out with,” Whedon said, “so we decided to do something other than go get food.”

Over the course of six days during the Writers’ Strike, Whedon, his brothers, and some friends put together a three-part musical starring Neil Patrick Harris as a supervillian trying to get into the Evil League of Evil. Nathan Fillion plays his superhero nemesis, and Felicia Day (former Slayer potential Vi) as the girl he likes at the laundromat. “You want to work with people you love and trust,” Whedon said. “That’s the theory. It’s not radical, but it’s mine.”
