Welcome to Eliza Dushku Media, your #1 Eliza Dushku resource! You may remember Eliza from Bring It On, The Alphabet Killer and True Lies but she's most famous for her television work as Echo in this year's Dollhouse, Tru Davies in the short lived series Tru Calling and, of course, the role that made her a star, Faith Lehane, vampire slayer gone bad in the cult hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise.

Eliza Dushku is a living doll. …You know, if the dolls you’re used to have downloadable personalities that turn them into killers, thieves and sexual role-players. As Echo, one of an illegal group of “actives” in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, Dushku gets a new personality every week. But as the second season gets started, we’ll see her default “Echo” personality plan and scheme based on what she’s learned from the various personas that have passed through her head (including her original, pre-Dollhouse identity, Caroline). We sat in on a conference call with Dushku as she talked about what her character would be up to this season, and how it is working with Whedon, the writers and new castmate Summer Glau.
TWoP: How do you feel the direction of this season is different from the last one?
Dushku: Well, there’s so much being cracked open and explored, especially with Echo having this new place that she’s in, in terms of what we picked up from last year. She had all of the personalities downloaded into her in one swift punch, and they’re not going away. So every pick-up this year, she’s still tapping into these personalities. Sometimes it’s not in her control, and other times it is. But, overall, she’s just really absorbing things from her engagements, and from the Dollhouse, and she’s really becoming self-aware, not necessarily as Caroline, but as Echo, as her own person. So it’s definitely complicated. It’s a little darker all around. We’ll explore the origins of some of the other dolls and the other characters and then bring in a bunch of guest stars, so there’s a lot of exciting stuff happening with those things as well.
Hi everyone! I’m Britt, the new co-web here at Eliza Dushku Media. I’m busy adding updates to the Dollhouse section of the gallery right now and I’ve started with a ton of season two goodies that were released over the last few days.

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.
