Joss Whedon has been shooting a movie called Much Ado About Nothing. It was shot in black and white and done in only 12 days, on location in Santa Monica. With his new production company, called Bellwether Pictures, which is focused on the production of small, independent narratives for all media, embracing a DYI ethos. (Thank you Dr. Horrible!)
We all know that Joss Whedon has been working on The Avengers, a movie many a fan can’t wait to see. We also know that when he sets his mind to keeping something under wraps, he can do that too. (Case in point… the plot to The Cabin in the Woods. I have seen the behind-the-scenes outline, and I think Whedon fans will love this!)
But while he’s been working feverishly on The Avengers, at least I presume, that’s where all his time has been spent. But now it seems that he’s been lurking about with something else in his back pocket.

The website for the film says it’s a film by Joss Whedon, based on a play. LOL…

Alexis Denisof will be starring in a television pilot titled Pretty Little Liars.
Alexis plays a parent of one of 5 teenage girls that the story is centered around. That, and ghosts.
Reports are confused as to whether it goes to ABC or ABC Family network. From what they’ve described, it sounds like an ABC Family thing… but that’s my take.
That’s cool news for Alexis fans. I’ve missed watching him since his Angel days and his Dollhouse appearance wasn’t enough for me!

Just thought I’d pass along the reminder that the series-finale of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse takes place on January 22nd, 2010. The final episodes leading up to this last day will be
- January 8th: “Getting Closer.”
- January 15th: “The Hollow Men.”
- The series finale on January 22nd: “Epitath Two: Return.” Felicia Day and Adair Tishler guest star.
It will be the end of a much tormented science fiction, fantasy TV series run that never quite caught on with the general viewing public.
I even had a feeling that despite the hard-core fan-base wanting Joss’s latest television effort to succeed, even some of us were hard pressed to really enjoy Dollhouse at times. Sometimes the show just dragged for me and at other times it hit on all 10 cylinders of its 8-cylinder engine. It just didn’t revv up enough to catch a foothold.
It didn’t help when viewers called it things like a show about trafficking.

Summer Glau as Cameron in Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles
If you’ve survived the first two episodes of Dollhouse and made it to the 3rd episode, which was actually written by a Dollhouse writer alum, Tim Minear, then you have some cool things coming up, as far as guests are concerned. (I’m guessing the article lead image might be giving it away.)
Here’s what we got for ya:
Summer Glau is reuniting with Joss Whedon as it’s being reported that she will be joining the cast of Dollhouse. Is that awesome news? I’m jazzed.
