Отчет с панели "Домика" #3...

[MarvelGirl]

Enter the Dollhouse with Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku, and Tamoh Penikett.

One of the most eagerly-anticipated series to hit airwaves early next year will be Joss "Firefly" Whedon's Dollhouse, starring Eliza "Buffy" Dushku and Tahmoh "BSG" Penikett. It's the tale of "actives," people who volunteer to have their personalities wiped and new ones implanted for clients who need special tasks done (from romantic ones to spy stuff). We're here, liveblogging at the Dollhouse panel with Whedon, Dushku, and Penikett. Updates below.

Whedon says he's had a man-crush on Penikett for quite a while. He's a big fan of BSG, and loved Penikett and wanted him to be the FBI agent who investigates the Dollhouse. He keeps getting closer and closer to Echo, Dushku's character, but then she becomes somebody else. Whedon said Tamoh could talk articulately about his character without even having read a sсript. Suddenly he stops. "Wait, is the term man-crush? Or bro-mance?"

Whedon acknowledges that there is worry that the show is a niche show or that they're failing. That's not the case, he insists.

Dushku says her favorite scene in Buffy was the "dance-kill" scene where she was just dancing in a bar and killing people. "We had a lot of dancing and killing in that show." Whedon said the moment in Angel where Dushku was in the alley saying "Kill me I'm bad," he would start crying. "You're so full of it," Dushku says.

Dushku describes the oft-told tale of Dollhouse's inception, which came out of a conversation about what she'd like to as an actor. She says Whedon "makes the words party on the page." He got it, he knew what she was thinking, he went to the bathroom, and "He came back and it was Dollhouse." She says he "fully puts me at ease and it's fun work and fun livin." She says the show is "a personality playground and I'm ready." Whedon says, "I'm not ready."

An audience member asks what the difference is between Faith and Echo. "Echo we don't know much about. We're trying to figure that out, and she's a different person in every show. I might bring some fury and funny to it."

Whedon says, "Faith and Echo both have a lot of pain to go through. Eliza's good with pain and crazy." Dushku says she emails Whedon emails about her life and he puts it into the show. Last month, she was in Iran and Peru, and she's been telling Whedon about her adventures there. "It's true — I get these bulletins bout where Eliza is today — it's all true in Dollhouse. This is a documentary."

Penikett says he's wrapped up shooting BSG and he doesn't want to talk about it too much on stage because he might cry.

The fans are about to kill a person who goes up to the mic and dares to admit she's not excited about the new show, which doesn't seem "as much out there" as his other shows. Whedon makes a face, the fans boo, and then he replies:

This show is a little different — there is a fantastical premise, but it is modern-day and it's people without vampires and spaceships. But you should know everything I do is about people. That's what I tell stories about. Echo has a removable personality, she's different people all the time, and she's trying to figure out who she is between times. Each time she meets Tamoh, she's a new person and their relationship is really twisted. Every relationship on the show is going to be really twisted. Questions of identity are going to be twisted in ways I never have before, and it's going to be really exciting.

"Take that, girl!" says Dushku. Later, she calls Whedon "a career brassiere." Whedon says, "That's the t-shirt I'm not going to wear."

Whedon says that the thing about Dr. Horrible was that he wanted to get that vision out there, because he didn't think a network would want a superhero musical. With a show like Dollhouse, he says, every scene requires you to ask if it's amusing and engaging and you have to deal with executives too. Fox has ways they want things to go, and the way they want action to pop. It's not that different from doing a show like Dr. Horrible. Except with Horrible, we didn't have sets or a dolly or . . . time.

With network, you need to know what they want, and communicate them. I've worked with execs who don't know what they want . . . or don't know what they don't want. But these are not those people. We've been clear about the way this show will go.

Whedon says he has no deaths planned for Dollhouse, unlike in Firefly. Then he jokes that he'll kill anyone who pisses him off. He says somebody might die at some point, but right now they're just coming to life. "Gimme a break, I don't kill everyone!"

Penikett talks about his first scene in Dollhouse. He says he was so taken by Dushku that he kept forgetting his lines every time Whedon would say "action." He flubbed his first line, which was supposed to be "How did you hear about the Dollhouse?" and instead he said, "How did you hear about the Mallhouse?" He added that Helo, his character from BSG, is very different from Paul, his Dollhouse character. "I'm really intrigued by him but I need to get to know him better over the next few episodes."

Whedon says there could be singing in Dollhouse. "Because after all she's everybody's fantasy, and and some of those must be geeks like me! So there could be some singing. We'd have to work up to that though. Not right away."

Whedon says he has several ideas for more indie productions like Dr. Horrible. "It's a dark and crowded place in my head, I have a lot of stuff in here. I want to do them all. But first I want to do a little bit of [Dollhouse]. Hopefully a lot," he grinned. He's incredibly excited about figuring out who Echo gets to be every week, but he's most excited about the Dollhouse itself. He said he's intrigued by the people who work there and Paul's investigation of it, and the way Echo's personality evolves, as well as the twisted relationships that everybody forms. "That to me is the thrill," he says. "It feels like a premise that can be sustained for a long time."

Is there a common thread between Buffy and Dollhouse? "It's probably a search for the soul," says Whedon. "Vampires are considered unpeople, and so are Actives. So it's really about Echo's search for her soul."

Dollhouse is influenced by A.I., The World Can Never Let Me Go, and Collateral because Whedon thinks it's a great L.A. movie. He says, "This will be feistier than I'm used to. I go a little Ang Lee, but the way I'm filming it, it will be more visceral, a frenetic ride. That part is challenging."

Whedon reassures us that the original pilot will air as the second episode, not the last like in Firefly. He says it was a challenge to go backwards and and reshoot. I did some things that weren't right for the network that I'm shifting around — I'm not changing the premise, cast, or heart of the show. It was just about how we get people into the world. The world will be there and I get to play.

"And I get to wear my leather pants," Dushku says.

"I made the vital mistake of not giving Tamoh any shirtless scenes but that has been rectified," Whedon adds.

Penikett isn't the only shirtless boy we'll see. In the extended clips we saw at the beginning of the panel, most of which have already been online, we saw a co-ed shower scene (the dollhouse apparently includes a co-ed shower).

Whedon says there will be webisodes.

Еще один отчет с комик-кон-панели "Домика"...

[MarvelGirl]

Dollhouse - Comic-Con Report
by Keith McDuffee

Dollhouse was an interesting panel to work out. I really wanted to cover this panel, but I was in Hall H for the first part of the morning, with the hugely-popular Lost panel ending at 1 PM, Dollhouse starting at 1 PM in Ballroom 20. There was no way in hell I was going to make it out of Lost and get into Dollhouse without help, and Rich was scheduled to attend the Office writers panel.

So, we decided he'd instead stay in Ballroom 20 through Futurama and Simpsons, then Dean Koontz (why that panel was shoehorned in between Simpsons and Dollhouse will forever be a mystery to me). Once I was outside the exit, I texted Rich that I could take over and I tagged him out of the room and there I remained for the rest of the day. Unfortunately for me I missed the show's trailer, but Rich said there was nothing new there.

In attendance of this panel: Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikett.

- Joss moderated the panel. I felt sorta bad for him, as he looked like it was hot as hades up on that stage. He's definitely comfortable being up there, though, and he was as funny as you'd expect.

- Within the show, Paul Smith (Penikett) will have a difficult time tracking down Echo (Dushku), as every time he gets closer, Echo is someone else.

- Joss was asked by an attendee what he thought about websites already being formed to save the show, even before it's aired. This got a big laugh out of everyone, and his answer is something I want to post about on its own later -- it was the theme of many discussions I had throughout the weekend.

- Everyone was asked what their favorite Buffy moment was. Eliza said hers was every time she'd be dancing and then killing five things at the same time. Joss's favorite moment was when Faith said to Angel: "Kill me, I'm bad." in the alley. To that Dushku laughed and said, "you're so full of it."

- Eliza talked about how great it is to come back working with Joss, calling him her "career brazier." He's just waiting for that shirt to be made.

- An attendee asked Joss about his habit of bringing back people he's worked with in the past, to which he said, like most things, when something's worked before you tend to go back with it. He then was asked if he'd bring Nathan Fillion into Dollhouse, and Eliza said, "a Nathan/Tahmoh sandwhich!" Joss said that he loves working with everyone, and even Amy Acker will be on Dollhouse, but he doesn't want to start this "party at Joss's house" thing.

- Joss said he likes to think of Dollhouse as having the feel of the movie Collateral in the way the city is portrayed.

- An attendee asked Dushku: "does your spine glow?" (A BSG reference), and Tahmoh replied: "Not yet."

- As for the re-shooting of the pilot, which was not really a re-shooting so much as a new episode was created to come before the originally created episode. Joss said this was his idea, as it will give the "real" first episode more resonance. He said not to worry, that another fiasco like Firefly with its out-of-order episodes is not going to happen.

- Joss said he sees no promise it Dollhouse coming to comic-book form.

- Joss was asked what he thought of how his work is studied in college courses now. "It's a huge honor," he said.

- There are 13 episodes greenlit for Dollhouse, and there are plans to have them accompanied by webisodes.

As I said above, there's more I want to talk about with regards to one answer Joss gave, and it's supplemented by a quick 1-on-1 talk I had with him later that night. More to come.

'Dollhouse' plays at Comic-Con
By Tamara Brooks

Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku, and Tahmoh Penikett rocked the house on at Saturday's Dollhouse panel. The room was packed and there was a lot of love and excitement in the air. Well, except for one person asking a question. More on that later.

Highlights:

- Tahmoh fits right in with Eliza and Joss and the affection among everyone on the panel extremely apparent. He was Joss' first choice for the part as he's a big fan of Battlestar Galactica and had a man-crush.

- It's revealed Eliza's character, Echo, will occasionally take on multiple personalities in a single episode. "It's not going to be simple," adds Joss. Eliza replies, "I'm ready."

- Joss quote: "Eliza's great with pain and being crazy. And also acting"

- Speaking of Eliza, she's all kinds of awesome. Just wanted to add that.

- Eliza, after stating how much she loves working with his matieral (it makes her feel sexy, smart, and strong), comes up with the quote of the night: "Joss is like a career brazeere." He's not looking forward to seeing that on a t-shirt.

- Tahmoh finished filming BSG two Fridays ago at 4am so no shooting conflict there. "But I don't want to start talking about BSG because I might start craying on stage."

- One girl got up to the mic and said she thought the show sounded a little mundane and she's not excited. Cue gasps of horror and boos from the crowd. I thought pitchforks and torches were going to pop up. Joss assures that, despite the lack supernatural or extraterrestrial themes, his writing is always character based so there's not a big a difference in the works as people may think. "I'm going to twist [things] in ways I've never twisted before. It's going to be excitiing," he says.

- When asked if he has any more ideas for independent works "up in here? [points to head]," Joss says, "Oh, it's a dark place and very crowded. I have several [ideas] and I want to do them all all the time."

- When someone asked Joss why he uses such strong female characters, there's laugher. Tahmoh doesn't know why - I'm sure someone will explain later.

- The Buffy movie question came up again. Since he's doing the comic book he's "getting his Buffy fix" but won't completly dismiss the idea (though it's bloody unlikely. But "I'm going to start working on the Dollhouse movie now. And then the opera" .

- Considering the characters sleep in coffin like beds (they're submerged in the floor with glass that slides over them), someone marks a vampiric similarity. "Well my vampires didn't [sleep in coffins] so this is new territory." He does acknowledge that the common thread is the "search of the soul" - that both vamps and dolls are considered un-people.

- Someone asked Tahmoh if Eliza's spine glows. She didn't get it so he whispered the explaination in her ear. The look on her face was priceless.

- On reshooting the pilot: "I know that scared a lot of people." He's "not going to change anything, nor was [he] asked to change, anything" about the cast, crew or story. It was just a tweak to figure out the best way to introduce the audience to the world. He started with everyone already knowing each other, then went back to film the "prequel" episode.

- Will there be a Dollhouse comic? No, because the premise hinged upon seeing Eliza transform into different people each week. That wouldn't really work in comic form. "For me this really belongs on TV," Joss says.

- When asked what he thinks about academic classes based on work, he says, "It's a huge honor in your lifetime to have people think about your work as hard or harder than you did." He digs it the most man. He also gives credit to the other writers that have worked with him. "It's not just me that's out there, it's all those other people too."

- Will there be supplemental webisodes of Dollhouse in between episodes? Yes, but he's still figuring out their structure and how they fit in with everything else. "And we will make dozens and dozens of dollars [off them]."

Джосс объявил, что собирается делать веб-эпизоды Dollhouse!
На подобие тех, которые делались для Lost.

Длительность таких эпизодов будет где-то три минуты, но думаю от этого они не станут менее интересными. Всего Джосс планирует снять 13 таких эпизодов.

...на съемочной площадке "Домика" во время пресс-тура Ассоциации Телевизионных Критиков (TCA), июль 2008.

+ видео

TCA — Oh the irony, it burns! Ever since Fox canceled Joss Whedon’s beloved 2002 series "Firefly," fans have groused that the network sabotaged the show’s chances by airing its episodes out of sequence.

Now Whedon himself is shaking up the order of his midseason Fox series “Dollhouse.”

The creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is shooting a new “prequel” episode to serve as the show’s pilot. Whedon says he opted to craft a new introduction to the series after meeting with Fox executives, who expressed concerns about the accessibility of the first episode.

"When we talked to the network I got a sense of hesitation about what we had and I understood why," Whedon says on the “Dollhouse” set Tuesday afternoon. “There’s a concern about the audience coming into this world. I respect their need to draw in an audience and present this a certain way. That said, I feel it’s a very strong episode.”

Whedon acknowledges there are similarities to the “Firefly” experience.

“That’s why I hit myself on the head for this,” Whedon says. “Having been through this I should know I need to deliver a way to get into a story. I get their perspective, I get my perspective, these are not stupid people [at the network] and I decided I needed to make a preemptive strike. I wasn’t going to entrench around my art. It is very fluid — the creation of a television show. So I said that I know a way to satisfy everyone.”

The new first episode, Whedon says, will allow him to select from previously shot footage to figure out “the most iconic way from what we had to introduce each character.”

Adds star Eliza Dushku, “And I didn’t get to wear my leather pants in the pilot, so that was a deal-breaker.”

In “Dollhouse,” a group of people can be programmed with various abilities and personalities and rented out for assignments to high-paying clients. They are kept stored in an underground compound that resembles a Zen-like spa. One of the Dolls, Echo (Dushku), begins to gradually become self-aware.

“I wanted everybody to feel like Echo is in this terrible situation, slash, ‘can somebody wipe my memory and feed me and put me in a wonderful spa and give me massages too?’ Whedon says of the elaborate set.

The tone of each episode, Whedon adds, will shift based on the Dolls’ assignment, a tactic that some might consider risky.

"I live to subvert [an audience’s] expectation," he says. "There’s a part of me that was clearly born for this and a part of me that will never be right for it. I live to do the episode of ’Murder She Wrote’ where nobody dies. Because the greatest joy is to be genuinely surprise by human behavior or narrative structure. "

That said, “Every time I’m here, I worry that this show is a big mess, that this is the time I will fail. At the same time you learn to let go of that or not one word you will write.”

The set is impressive. A huge and rather tranquil living space that would be listed for about $9,000 a month on Craigslist. The Dollhouse includes coffin-like sleeping pods, a Koi pond, doctor’s office, massage area, a drawing room, a gym, a co-ed shower and a couple offices.

Critics, naturally, are obsessed with the shower.

“The whole idea was to show how innocent they are," Whedon says. "It’s like the Garden of Eden, with Eliza either the Eve or the snake. We originally were only going to use the set for the pilot but the writers kept finding uses for it. As innocence falls, other things become more noticeable.”

“I’m not the most modest person in the world,” adds Dushku, who did a wardrobe change halfway through the critics’ set visit.

Critic: “Where do they hold the soap?”

Whedon: “That’s a sweeps episode.”

Пилот - дубль 2...

[Crisl]

Вчера Джосс Уэдон заявил, что переснимает пилотную серию Dollhouse. Причиной тому несовпадение в стиле первого пилота и ожиданиями канала, однако, идея снять вместо второй серии - второй пилот, пришла в голову именно Джоссу. Так уже было с его же Firefly, выходившем на тех же FOX, однако разница в том, что первый пилот "Светляка" почил с миром, а в "Кукольном доме" выйдет в качестве второй серии. Джосс переснимет некоторые сцены, но в целом сюжет останется прежним: люди со стертой памятью, которые все вместе живут, а, точнее, существуют в одном доме и меняют личность несколько раз в неделю. Новый пилот будет немного более ясным, однако не будет объяснять те многие вещи, которые и в первой версии не лежали на поверхности. "У меня в запасе миллион вещей, которые я хотел бы рассказать об этих героях и через их истории, так что меня не волнует какие из них я расскажу первыми". Таким образом, на предстоящем КомикКоне у сериала не будет тизера, чтобы представить публике, однако Джосс считает, что Элайза Душку и Тамо Пеникетт справятся и без этого. А в целом "шоу будет полно напряжения, природного страха и живущих вместе людей-кукол". Будем надеяться, сериал не постигнет та же участь, что и Firefly, когда фоксы закрыли его, так и не выпустив в эфир все снятые серии.
