Ganz cooles Interview mit Joss über Dr. Horrible und Dollhouse:

Q. Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris in an Internet musical in which the lovable loser baddy is kind of the good guy, and the good guy is kind of a dick—and it's a musical?! Um, how? Wha? How on earth did this develop?

A. Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary. But I know that people who grow up identifying with outsiders are the people I are. Plus singing is the universal language, along with being on fire.

...etwas Firefly-Nostalgie:

Q. In my dreams I traverse great depths and voids of unnamed space and find myself in a netherworld where untold numbers of Buffy and Firefly props are just laying around and I can just take them back to my apartment and mount them in the sweetest little shrines. What Buffy/Firefly props have you held onto as personal mementos?

A. I have a life-sized Sean Maher made of human flesh that keeps screaming that it's the real Sean Maher and I should unchain it. Amazing technology!

...und schließlich und endlich, Joss selbst über die Negativität:

Q. Some fans have already launched a campaign to save Dollhouse from fickle network programmers who cancel everything that doesn't have enough fart jokes. Other fans see these organizers as casting a desperate light on Dollhouse since it hasn't even aired yet. Do you have a stand?

A. I love the effort, but do think it tends to put us in the cheap seats.

Es sieht gut aus:

Hi , Ok , Dollhouse is a go ! . We start load in / Prep Wednesday the 16th aqnd begin shooting the following Wednesday , August 23 . SAG needs to put the last , best and final offer from Producers to a vote....they don't want to because they know it would be ratified and the leadership would have egg on its collective face . There is little worry of a strike as they would need 75% of the voting membership to confirm a strike action so they need to let their membership vote on the last offer . In any event , Dollhouse will begin on schedule and I for one am looking forward to working the show .Wish us Luck !!

Ich nehme an, er/sie meinte Juli. Also, 23. Juli Drehbegin für Episode 2.

Die Tage vor dem Release sind überflutet mit Dr. Horrible-Features, logisch. Kristin ist begeistert, hat Foto und zitiert Joss über Sequel:

"We're so busy talking about the giant Broadway adaptation, the much longer film version and the much longer musical commentary we're writing now, but...yeah, have I thought up the sequel? Yeah, sort of. And the one after that? Little bit. Actually, what we want to do is a sequel right away that's brilliant and then maybe another one many years later that's terrible."

(Ganz am Ende, übrigens, lässt sie fallen: Doug Petrie [so mancher Buffy-Meilenstein war von ihm] ist als Schreiberling bei der zweiten Pushing Daisies-Staffel angeheuert worden!!)

Die LA Times hat auch cooles Foto (endlich wissen wir wie z.B. Maurissa aussieht...) und meint knapp, aber effizient:

The audience loved it, and for good reason.

Ende Juli, laut dem "schedule for the Summer 2008 Television Critics Association Press Tour":

Tuesday, July 22

SET VISITS
Morning visits to the sets of “Pushing Daisies” and “ER” at the Warner Bros. lots. Afternoon visit to the set of “Dollhouse” where both Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku will give tours, then cocktails on the New York bar set with the cast of “How I Met Your Mother.” Both afternoon sets are on the Fox lot. For people needing to catch planes, there will buses returning to the hotel after the morning events, and we’ll be taking head counts as we get closer to see if we need buses running from the Fox lot to the Beverly Hilton after the first event there.

Expect Berichte then!
