Joss Whedon slows Dollhouse production
In an alarmingly titled TV.com article “Joss Whedon shuts down Dollhouse“, further reading reveals that Joss is concerned regarding the quality of the scripts being created for his upcoming series in the FOX mid-season schedule, citing that some of the scripts just aren’t Whedon-worthy.
“Joss has apparently been so busy in the director’s chair, that he hasn’t been able to work on the show’s upcoming scripts. So when he finally had a chance to see upcoming scripts, he decided to slow things down a bit to do some rewrites. Production is due to start up again in late September, but since the drama is a midseason entry, Dollhouse is comfortably ahead of schedule.”

“We will NEVER forget”
^^^^^
That was the plan
Joss Whedon …. considering there is a lot of things that he’s doing all at the same time (and suffering because of it) this does not surprise me.
@3 oh that’s today? haha i forgot.
Hmmmm… not sure how I feel about this. Technically, Joss hired the writers that are doing the crappy work, so by saying the scripts are sh*te, he’s basically saying that he screwed up and hired the wrong people.
Dr. Horrible was phenomenal and I’m uberexcited about Dollhouse, but this kind of press tempers my excitement slightly.
If he was that much ahead of schedule, he should have said nothing.
It looks like crap anyway and has a stupid name.
I don’t interpret this as saying that the scripts are bad – just that he wants to put his own stamp on them.
As much as i love the guy’s work he’s clearly a control freak but I don’t have to work with him and he usually delivers the goods so let him do what he wants.
And be prepared to sign all the petitions to keep it alive six weeks down the line.
@ Hank i know thats why i said lol, lol
Hmmm… What’s that I smell? Yet another in the endless series of Whedon and/or Dushku miserable failures that geeks will blindly slaver over and then spend the next couple of decades claiming was wonderful?
Whedon wouldn’t know quality if it bit him, any more then Dushku has the faintest idea how to act (and is getting way too old for the miss pissy pouty act to carry her). He can halt production all he wants, this is still going to crash-and-burn hard and fast.
@Hank.
Actually, that’s not entirely true. We’ve seen pre-air and work print of episodes and movies posted.
