Marti Noxon put new Fright into the Night
11/12/2009

Reuters and The Hollywood Reporter have both announced that Buffy/Angel veteran writer-producer Marti Noxon will be revamping the classic tale of teen angst, toothy neighbors, and a reluctant out-of-date vampire hunter.

With bloodsucking on the recent rise, we're sure to get some quality fangage with Marti at the helm. She has been hired to write DreamWorks Studios' remake of the 1985 horror comedy Fright Night. The original film starred Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowall and William Ragsdale.

Before her work on AMC's Mad Men, Marti's credits included writer-producer on ABC's Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy and Fox's Prison Break.



More Angel Cast joining the Dollhouse
8/28/2009

UPDATE:
With the return of Dollhouse this December fans can look forward to Summer Glau joining the cast!


The Hollywood Reporter has informed fans of Joss Whedon, creator of the Fox series about a futuristic laboratory that rewrites people's memories, that he is adding Firefly regular and Angel guest cast member Summer Glau to the Dollhouse for Season 2. Summer will play Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a secret past with (Eliza Dushku) Echo. But wait, Alexis Denisof, better known as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, will be playing a U.S. senator, Daniel Perrin, leading a witch hunt to track down the underground organization. Ironic much?

TVGuide.com has also announced that the Season 2 premiere of the Dollhouse will be written and directed by the man himself: series creator Joss Whedon which premieres on Friday, September 25th. Whedon & Co. will produce enough hours to kick off the season with at least three or four consecutive episodes.

Eliza offers her feelings about returning for another season, "We are so excited to do the second season because it took us until the last six or so episodes to hit our stride; now we get to really have some fun."



Angel Comic ~ Juliet Landau's Dru Covers
8/19/2009

Juliet Landau dropped a line recently to CoA to tell us about her new film and give us a sneak peak at the Angel Comic covers of her 2-part Drusilla return!

"I just wrapped on the adorable kid’s movie, Monster Mutt, playing the slinky, blonde, Russian villain. It was a lot of fun! Monster Mutt is created and produced by 4x Oscar winning Greg Cannom’s Drac Studios (Benjamin Button, Hannibal, Dracula, Mrs. Doughtfire)." Juliet shares, "Also, I am excited to share that the first issue of my Drusilla comic is now out! I am attaching the 4 covers I designed. Issue 2 will be out in September."


Juliet talks about her and Brian Lynch's Dru 2-parter in Angel #24-25 at BuffyComics.HellmouthCentral... here's an excerpt:

BCHC: How did you know it was time for Drusilla to finally return? Was this a story you had wanted to tell for some time or did Brian Lynch come to you with the project?
JL: "I came up with the idea for the two issues. I wrote it in script form. Brian Lynch and I are collaborating and co-writing it into comic book format. He is amazing!"

Echo in the Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku
3/6/2009

When Eliza Dushku took the role of Echo for the new Fox series Dollhouse, Joss Whedon told her he planned on taking her out of her comfort zone. "I'm up for any challenge and any uncomfortable scenario he wants to throw [at me], because that's what this is about," said the distinctively, husky-voiced Dushku.

Once again Eliza takes the helm of her own series (previously starring in Tru Calling), rejoins forces with Whedon, and dons an executive producer hat to launch Dollhouse with reverberation. Throughout a recent interview she was very easy-going and answered each question in vivid detail. Read our feature with Eliza on what else echoes in the Dollhouse.

Dollhouse is Five-by-Five
3/4/2009

Joss Whedon, creator of groundbreaking cult favorites Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, returns to TV and reunites with alumna Eliza Dushku for a thrilling new drama, Dollhouse. Echo (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas.

Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become them with mind, personality and physiology per the client wants or needs. Confined between missions to the Dollhouse. Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler, has her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge erased after each scenario by the Dollhouse's genius programmer. Echo enters the next scenario with no memory of before. Or does she?

Read the CoA Review of this thrilling new series which airs Fridays at 9:00pm EST on Fox.
