Whedon to Reshoot Dollhouse Pilot
July 22, 2008 by Cynthia
“I showed some scenes to David Lynch and he’s all, “whuh?” Bad sign.”
That’s Joss Whedon in his post over at Whedonesque explaining why he felt the need to reshoot the “Dollhouse” pilot. Though he tries to downplay the network’s involvement in the decision, it’s clear that he didn’t wake up yesterday and decide to do it over again all on his own.
He talks about needing a change in tone from the “dark noir” place that he loves to something. . . well. . .something brighter and bouncier maybe? It’s hard to say.
In general, Whedon makes it sound like this is business as usual only on a much shorter schedule due to the writer’s strike, and I believe that is probably true. Many shows are recast and retooled and still go on to be successful series. Look at “Moonlight.”
Okay, maybe that’s a bad example.
The bottom line is that “Dollhouse” won’t be premiering at Comic Con as originally planned, but it does mean Joss and Eliza will have a whole lot more to talk about when it’s time for their panel on Saturday afternoon.

Who wants to start coutning down until Fox cancels it?
Fox pull the trigger quickly on a sci-fi or fantasy show? The hell you say!
Hey Know!! If you want to be like CBS you can not have dark sci-fi shows on the network. If they say more “two and half men” in the show you just do it. Point blank or you making “lake placid 4″ on sci-fi.
