Nov. 3rd, 2007 03:10 pmWork is odd at the moment. Not particularly intense but low level draining. Time to read but not to post.
I have this vague memory of following a link from a comment on some random post to the journal of someone who said they did legal work for Fox and that they’d just had to check through the paperwork for a new Joss Whedon series. This was about a month ago. Related or not the “new Joss Whedon series” part seems to be true, which is very good news.
Produced by 20th Century Fox TV -- the studio also behind "Buffy," "Angel" and Whedon's late, lamented "Firefly" -- "Dollhouse" follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse"). Show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions. Beyond Dushku's character, the show will also revolve around the people who run the mysterious "dollhouse" and two other "dolls," a man and woman who are friendly with Echo. Then there's the federal agent who has heard an urban myth about the dolls, and is trying to investigate their existence.
The concept is creepy enough to give the whole thing some edge but the project has already meta’d itself onto the side of the angels by crediting Eliza as a producer. And since everyone seems to be giving their own high concept summary of what it could be (The Matrix meets Joe 90 meets Quantum Leap in drag), I’m hoping for some amalgam of The Girl who was Plugged In , The Remains of the Clones and Asylum!Buffy’s autobiography.
Another distraction from posting, commenting or, worst of all, feedbacking is that I’ve started vidding again.
( Notes on process, mostly technical about using m2v source )
