Dollhouse Season 1 - Epitaph One Sneak Peek

Dollhouse is the Joss Whedon series where people have memories and skills downloaded into them and at the end of each mission they have their memory wiped. The Feds are after them and Eliza Dushku looks lovely. All well and good. Unlike Firefly, Dollhouse has been given a second series.

However, there was a final episode from the first series that is yet to be shown. It is called Epitaph One and is set in 2019 after some kind of apocalypse. Who knew! It stars Felicia Day and here is a sneak peek.

The Random

Alex Proyas (Dark City) is to adapt Heinlein's “The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag”, which sounds a bit Dark Cityish to me. All about a bloke who cannot remember what he gets up to during the day.

Firefly is coming to Blu-Ray.

Firstshowing.net's Alex Billington has posted the European (i.e., German subtitled) trailer for Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon.

Those Robert Harris-supervised restorations of The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II will be shown theatrically starting on 9.12 at New York's Film Forum, with concurrent bookings in Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's all a plug for the 9.23 DVD/Blu-ray release of these two.

Filming has commenced in L.A. on His Name Was Jason, a new documentary about the Friday the 13th franchise. It will air on Starz the first week of February 2009 (just in time for Platinum Dunes' new film). A DVD release through Anchor Bay Entertainment will follow.

Serenity to fly no more

Ah, Firefly, one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Cancelled before its time, but managed to live again in the movie Serenity. Joss Whedon sure can write a yarn. There have been the odd rumour here and there saying that there could be another Firefly movie. However, in an interview with MTV Mr Whedon closes the door on and sequel....at least for the moment.

"The rumors are there because people really wish it would happen," Whedon said.

[It’s an "improbable fantasy," Whedon said. Then again, "so was making ‘Serenity’ [given the cancellation of 'Firefly'], and so is half my career, which is why I never write it off."

"I’d do it in a heartbeat," Whedon said, "because I love those people so much." But that doesn’t change the fact that the rumors are not being circulated "by anyone who owns a studio," and "nobody’s knocking on our door."

"There’s been no movement," he said. "Those rumors are just rumors, and I don’t think they’re going to stop, no matter how many times I say, ‘No, it’s not happening.’ Because somebody will say, ‘He said yes. His eyes said yes. His nose said yes. There was a yes-iness about him.’ Because people want it."
