Статья
The two-story, 25,000-square-foot structure has some real personality.

If you were going to be held against your will in an underground asylum, where beautiful people would pamper you, erase your memory and imprint you with different personalities, you’d probably want your captor to be Joss Whedon.

The TV scribe-producer-director and filmmaker, known for his keen ability to draw female characters, has created a sanctuary on Stage 19 of the Fox lot that is so impressive in scope and detail that it hardly seems like a set for his new Fox series, “Dollhouse.” With its serene reflecting koi pond, unusual but comfy sleeping pods recessed into the floor and meditation-massage area, the house feels as if it belongs on a Laguna Beach bluff instead of on a soundstage.

In the show, the 25,000-square-foot, two-story structure, unusually elaborate for a TV production, sits 10 stories below a Los Angeles high-rise, hiding its residents from the outside world. At once a Utopian spa and an illegal prison, the dollhouse is as much a player in the mystery thriller as Echo ( Eliza Dushku), the central character. Echo and the other "Actives" live there between assignments that require them to be anything the clients of the underground organization want them to be. Before each job, they are imprinted with a new personality, and afterward, their memories are wiped clean.

"The idea of the show is what I consider any good fantasy to be — your worst nightmare and your greatest dream," said Whedon, creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly." "And the nightmare is: I don’t know who I am. I’m exploited. I’m trapped. I’m helpless. And the dream is: I have no burdens, and I spend all of my time eating really good food and getting massages in the nicest place in the world."

One of the most anticipated shows of the season, "Dollhouse" premieres Feb. 13, after several stops and starts. Fox ordered the show directly to series last year after the writers strike, hoping to launch it in the fall. But the pilot, which was shot in April and May, fell short of expectations and the network benched it until mid-season.

Instead of retooling the pilot, Whedon decided to scrap it and start over, though he admitted that doing so made him "depressing to be around for a while."

The network wanted Whedon to "up the stakes, make the episodes more stand-alone, stop talking about relationships and cut to the chase," he wrote. "Oh, and add a chase. That you can cut to. Nothing I hadn’t heard before on my other shows (apparently my learning curve has no bendy part) but frustrating as hell given our circumstances — a pilot shot, scripts written, everybody marching together/gainfully employed . . . and then a shutdown."

Then Fox announced in November that it was scheduling it on Fridays, one of the most challenging slots in prime time, sparking “Firefly” flashbacks for fans and critics. Fox had given that short-lived series a Friday night graveyard shift in 2002 before canceling it.

At a media event last month, Fox President of Entertainment Kevin Reilly tried to quell concern by explaining that he hoped pairing "Dollhouse" with "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" on Fridays would create a new "X Files" night of appointment television.

"We were so keyed up and when Joss decided to scrap the pilot, we started to wonder, ’What did we do wrong? What didn’t we achieve?’ " production designer Stuart Blatt said. "But second chances are sometimes very refreshing."

Blatt, who worked on "Angel," says the "Dollhouse" set is the largest he’s built in his 20-year career. Before settling on a design, Whedon pored over architecture books, focusing on traditional and modern Asian building styles and elegant spas. Much of his inspiration came from "Thai Style" by Luca Invernizzi Tettoni and William Warren and "Architecture in China" by Philip Jodidio.

"It’s not normal for other producers to be so prepared, but it’s normal with Joss," Blatt said. "We looked through everything, weeded out some ideas and came up with this world-class spa that’s sealed off from the rest of the world and has a minimalist Japanese feel to it. Joss knows exactly what he wants, but at the same time, he’s flexible and he allows you to surprise him."

Sensual and beautiful

The $950,000 set was completed in six weeks last spring. Although there are no windows, it feels open and expansive because there are almost no walls. Instead, there are Japanese screens to instill an illusion of privacy for the Actives, who are unaware that they are observed at all times, even when they’re showering or changing clothes.

"The idea of the dollhouse is that these people are being pampered like world-class athletes, kept ready for whatever the next assignment is," Blatt said. "So they’re living in a place that’s deluxe. So whether it’s a massage or a workout area or spa food being served in the dining area or calligraphy classes or yoga being done here, it’s the best any of us hope to have anywhere we live or are forced to live or are brainwashed to live under one roof."

Because Stage 19 already has a pit in the middle, Whedon and Blatt decided to create a conversation pit with a fountain that would serve as the set’s focal point. But two weeks before they shot the first pilot, Blatt had an idea.

"I asked Joss, ’What if I could build you a Japanese reflecting pool with a deck over it that our actors could do yoga and tai chi on?’ " Blatt said. "He was immediately sold. Joss had been asking me from the beginning that he wanted to have a water feature that would be silent and yet always be there to look at. Water is a calming influence. It’s sexy and mysterious."

Sensual and beautiful were the adjectives set decorator David Koneff kept in mind as he went about spending more than $130,000 to dress the dollhouse in a midcentury modern motif with a Japanese aesthetic. It has custom-made furniture, Japanese-cut wood carvings, giant bamboo in planters and orange, red and brown tones.

"Trying to compete with Stuart’s set was the biggest mistake in the world," said Koneff, who worked on "Buffy." "It’s a big room, and you feel like you have to fill space. But instead of a normal couch height-wise, I made the couch as low as possible to accentuate the size of the room. And I approached it all in that way."

Naptime

To that end, the only furniture in the sleeping chamber are tiny ottomans that are 8 inches from the floor and are used by the Actives to sit on before they slip into the coffin-like, cushioned holes that serve as their beds.

Whedon got the idea for the pods from a book about trapped door spaces, but Blatt created its pinwheel design so that the pods are in a circle instead of a straight row.

"It’s so nice in here that the crew comes in here to take naps during lunch," said Dushku, while sitting on one of the ottomans.

But not all of the spaces inside the dollhouse are as inviting. The Imprint Room, with its computers, lights, wires and spooky imprinting chair, is as ominous as the office of Dr. Saunders, Whedon’s favorite spot on set. Although no one can see inside her office, the scarred doctor (Amy Acker) can look out into the dollhouse through two small ports.

"Dr. Saunders likes to hide from the world," Whedon said. "She feels hideous, inhuman. So she stays in her office and she tries to take care of the people around her and tries not to be seen."

The set, says Dushku, makes it easy for her to slip into Echo’s skin.

"I walk in there and I feel peaceful," said Dushku, also a producer on the show. "I do feel child-like. It’s so open, and it’s such a safe place even with all the dysfunction. You look around and there’s food, a gym, a spa, a doctor and a psychiatrist. You feel like you’re in a big, safe bubble, but that’s where the germ of the show is: Nothing appears to be what it is."

Whedon and Dushku Invite You Into Dollhouse
The creator and cast talk about the new series.
by Eric Goldman, January 13, 2009

Joss Whedon couldn't appear in person at the Dollhouse panel today at the Television Critics Association press tour, so while his cast sat on stage, Whedon appeared on two large video screens via satellite from Boston, looking a bit like the Wizard of Oz. For those not yet familiar (however unlikely), in the series Eliza Dushku plays Echo, one of a group of "Actives", who have had their memories erased and can be programmed for any skill set based on the request of high paying clients.

In the pilot, a man hires Echo to help him with a hostage negotiation, and Whedon was asked why this person wouldn't just hire a professional negotiator. Said Whedon, "Well, the point of the show is that an active or a doll is just the very best at anything that they do. Echo is always the avatar – the absolute ideal of what she's being, in this case a hostage negotiator." He added that for the client, the other upside is he knows there will be "No distractions," because the person he's hiring has no personal life issues to distract them.

Asked about the much discussed jettisoning of the original pilot, and a new first episode being shot, Whedon said the network "wanted to see the world of the show; the structure of the show, the stakes and the kinds of clients they'd be servicing."

The cast were asked if it was difficult adjusting to the changes and shooting a new first episode, and Fran Kranz ("Topher") replied, "It wasn't too difficult with me. The first pilot started where the dollhouse was up and running, so I treated it like I would any episode - Just another occurrence in the life of the character. I never really saw it as doing another pilot. It was just another step forward in the whole process and making the whole story that much richer." His costar, Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett ("Paul Ballard") said, "For me, [the first pilot] was a warm up to working with everyone. It felt like it just sort of warmed you up for the new thing. It was a slightly different direction, but not that too different for me."

There are some issues Echo displays on the first episode while doing an assignment, and Dushku said that as the season continues, "I've had many flaws and many glitches. I think that's sort of where the show takes off. She's absolutely glitching and starting to become self aware. The memory wipes are not entirely working, so things can set them off and throw them off."

Obviously, an interesting part of Dollhouse is that Dushku gets the opportunity to play different people each week, as Echo is reprogrammed. Asked if it was her dream role, Dushku referred to herself in the third person, replying, "It's Eliza's dream role for sure. Joss and I have known each other for ten years since the Buffy days, since he wrote Faith and picked me. [To Whedon] Thanks again for that! I loved that part. [Echo] is a dream role, because I'm constantly changing and constantly on the move. I've said it before, but I'm a little ADD, so the idea of being in the same costume every day is a little conventional." She said that when she and Whedon sat down to talk about what the show should be, they both agreed, "Let's do everything!"

Whedon said that in most episodes of Dollhouse there "is in some sense a standalone and has closure. At the same time, it advances the mythology. That's what separates it from a procedural." He added that, "Towards the back half of the 13 [episodes], we do get a bit more into the mythology" noting that, "The relationships, even if they don't remember each other, are very charged."

Whedon was asked his reaction to Dollhouse being aired on Fridays, paired with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which has had fans worried since it was announced, due to its reputation as "the death slot". Whedon had experience with that night, having had Firefly air there, and said, "My initial reaction was mixed I think. I had a bad experience once on a Friday. You might have heard about it. At the same time, I knew it was an instinctive reaction to something that had happened [earlier]." Whedon said he was also relieved though, and noted, "I'm very excited to be paired with Terminator," a show he loves and feels is a good match for Dollhouse.

For those worried that FOX was going to be as dismissive with Dollhouse as they were with Firefly, he said he felt that the decision to put Dollhouse on Fridays was "a different agenda" than what was done with Firefly. He said where the FOX execs of the past "were expecting to sit us on a Friday [with Firefly], not promote us, then expect us to be a huge hit instantly," the powers that be these days (who are almost all different than those during the Firefly era), "are about putting the 13 [episodes] on the air, and letting it grow." He said that he was "Ultimately more happy" having Dollhouse on Fridays, than the Monday night slot it was originally intended for.

The pilot to Dollhouse doesn't have much humor to it, especially compared to other Whedon projects. Whedon admitted the show was, "Much more straight ahead dramatic than what we've done before. There's less opportunities to be totally silly. But it's me we're talking about, as well as our staff. We can't fight the funny." He added that "Humor definitely finds itself into the mix. I couldn't make a show that is relentlessly serious, and I don't think anyone would watch it."

It's clear from the pilot that there's an often argumentative relationship between Echo's handler, Boyd Langdon (Harry Lennix) And Topher. Said Kranz of the two, "They work in the Dollhouse. And the spend a lot of time together. What I love about the show, among many things, what's fascinating to me, is the time we get to mediate on the whole concept. It's very fascinating and provocative. We have time to bat ideas off each other. I have weaker morals, whereas Harry's character has a real sense of values. We have opposing schools of thought on the dollhouse and what we're doing, and whether it's good or bad." Whedon said he recalled the two actors coming up to him after their first scene and asking, "Are we friends?" Whedon said his reply was, "I think Topher would say yes and Boyd would say no and neither has the whole picture."

In the first episode, we only see Echo and one other active "in action", as it were, and both are female, but Whedon noted, "We will definitely see male [actives] as well. We had shot some people who were somewhat older, and they were in the original pilot,. We didn't have the same opportunities to explore the house [in the new first episode]. Everybody's fantasy and need is different. It's pretty much evenly men and women - Different ages, different body types."
