Welcome to Eliza Dushku Media, your #1 Eliza Dushku resource!

Eliza’s film production company, Boston Diva Productions, had optioned the rights to the film, ‘The Perfect Moment‘. Not much more available right now, other than her brother Nate has been cast as Robert Mapplethorne. According to IMDB, the plot line is as follows :
A look at the life of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe from his rise to fame in the 1970s to his untimely death in 1989.
Joss screened unaired “Epitaph One” at Comic-Con yesterday (is anyone else psyched seeing the DVD commercials everywhere?), and according to AceShowbiz it had some neat revealations:
“Dollhouse” was one of the most anticipated panels at San Diego Comic Con Friday, July 24 convention, particularly because the un-aired episode “Epitaph One” was screened in full. Creator Joss Whedon and star Eliza Dushku along with a couple of other cast were present to give their take on the so-called 13th episode and season 2.
“Epitaph One”, which will go straight to DVD, takes place in the year 2019. A group of human heroes, including the character played by Felicia Day, comes across an abandoned Dollhouse and finds one of the Actives. The band is trying to figure out how Dollhouse affects the state of the world, only to discover a larger global scenario.
Overall, “Epitaph One” is a game-changing episode where much about the whole story’s ideas are packed in one. However, when a fan asked Whedon whether it is appropriate to call it a second pilot, the writer said “I wouldn’t call it a second pilot but it is definitely a different vision and it will contain a lot of things about the characters and who they are and where they’re heading that people might not have seen or expected.”
The first season of “Dollhouse” did not generate enough rating to guarantee it a second season. But FOX put faith in the show and Whedon was thankful for that. “I’d say it came extraordinarily close to being canceled,” he dramatized it. “I’d say it was probably pronounced on the table and we went, ‘Nooo!’ (feigns CPR) and the camera pulled back and it went (gasps) and the music came up and we all cried.”
Regarding what second season brings, Whedon spilled “Well I think ultimately the thing that fascinates me is morality and personal politics; the politics of the personal, of the person in the moment as opposed to the statement. Yet I would say in terms of the second season, the abuse of power and the different kinds of forms it can take is going to become broader and more, in fact, political, and we’re going to see the Dollhouse in the world a bit more.”
Other interesting tidbits from the panel include the revelation that Alexis Denisof and Summer Glau will guest star in future episodes. Whedon also said there would be “old friends on the show…and maybe a couple of other faces you recognize” in the second season.
Pardon my absense from the site, work has kept me away, but I had to stop by to post the good news – DOLLHOUSE has been renewed! And here I thought Fox would force it off the air like it has so many other great shows (Keen Eddie, anyone?) – here is what the Boston Globe had to say:
Against all odds, Fox is keeping Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse” alive for another 13 episodes, despite its extremely low ratings (about 2.8 million viewers). “Dollhouse” seemed to have no chance of survival.
The return of “Dollhouse,” starring Eliza Dushku, was considered highly unlikely, and, according to the Live Feed, it may be “the lowest-rated in-season scripted drama to ever get a renewal on a major broadcast network.” But the show’s DVR viewing is strong, and the online streaming numbers are high. These days, it seems, a small but passionate fan base may be enough to tip the scales for renewal. Nielsen numbers are no longer the be all and end all.
Well TV Guide has announced its annual list of sexiest stars, and guess who made the list? You can check it out a MSNBC!
Short article about Eliza’s visit to Boston last night for her Magazine Cover Party posted at Boston.com:
For someone who lives in LA, and has for most of the past decade, actress Eliza Dushku sure spends a lot of time in Boston. Last night, the star of Joss Whedon’s new show “Dollhouse” celebrated her status as Boston Common’s latest covergirl with a party at Alibi. The shindig, co-hosted by Big Papi’s wife Tiffany Ortiz, was also a fundraiser for the Boston-based Camp Hale. The crowd included Boston Common publisher Glen Kelley, Longwood Events owner Jim Apteker and wife Alina, Celtic Rick Fox, Celts CEO Wyc Grousbeck, club owner Patrick Lyons, “Bringing Down the House” author Ben Mezrich, and “Apprentice” alum Michael Tarshi.
