Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse
Monday, November 10th, 2008
Dollhouse is a highly anticipated TV series by Joss Whedon and it is set to air in February 2009.
The series stars Eliza Dushku, who worked with Whedon on the cult television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
I’m looking forward to the premiere..
Here’s an outline of the plot:
In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as “Actives” or “Dolls.” The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They’re then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed “The Dollhouse”. The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.
