Eliza Dushku - "Dollhouse" Tv Series - Edmontonsun.com Interview

Friday 15 February 2008, by Webmaster

Eliza Dushku may finally be welcoming viewers to her Dollhouse.

The former Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress had announced plans to co-produce and star in a new action-drama from her Buffy creator Joss Whedon mere days before Hollywood’s scribes went on strike last November.

Now with the writers off the picket lines, Dollhouse is presumably back on track for a fall launch.

"Joss is a friend. I love him. We want to play hard. We’re excited," she tells Sun Media.

Whedon, returning to TV for the first time since the short-lived science-fiction western Firefly, came up with the concept for Dollhouse while he and Dushku were having lunch.

"Everyone, if they’re smart, is looking for a writer who gets it and brings it," she says.

"I’ve had a long career and the important thing is the creative relationships I have with the people I work with, and to have it go beyond just business ... You make friends and allies."

In Dollhouse, Dushku will star as Echo, a government agent whose personality and memories are wiped clean at the end of every assignment.

Fox has already ordered seven episodes.

For Dushku, the series marks more than her reunion with Whedon — it’s also the first project she’s produced under her budding Boston Diva shingle.

"I just turned 27 and I feel like I’m branching out into who I want to be in this business."
