Drew Barrymore [... would ...]like to update the old TV show for ABC. A rep for Sony Pictures Television confirms that the network is close to ordering a pilot of the reboot, which Barrymore would develop with Leonard Goldberg, who produced the original series with Aaron Spelling, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles‘ Josh Friedman, who’s been tapped to write and exec produce (EW).
Felicia Day’s name has been brought up a lot, and I think she would be perfect. The better question is who should the other two be.
Freema Agyeman and Dichen Lachman would make for the dream team.
The likelihood of these three staring in a new Charlie’s Angels is slim, but wouldn’t it be great?
Dollhouse season 2 is fast approaching, and we now have quite a bit of detail regarding the events of this season.
Season Overview
Dollhouse will be coming back Friday, Sept. 25 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX for a 13 episode season. IF the ratings are good enough, Fox has the option to order additional episodes.
2.1 Vows
2.2 Belle Chose
2.3 Instinct
2.4 Belonging
2.5 The Public Eye
2.6 The Left Hand
Kevin Reilly says they have gives Joss Whedon full creative control over the new season (here). Now we can see the main arc he has planned:
DANIEL PERRIN (Alexis Denisof) is a U.S. senator leading a witch hunt to track down the underground organization. Mysterious, charismatic businessman MARTIN KLAR (Jamie Bamber) is Echo’s new husband. BRADLEY KARRENS (Michael Hogan) comes to the Dollhouse hoping to stop a psychotic family member’s killing spree, while MATTHEW HARDING (Keith Carradine), a nemesis of Dollhouse leader ADELLE DEWITT (Olivia Williams), stirs up trouble.
Sounds interesting, especially considering a Dollhouse high mucketimuck said through Victor in Epitaph 1 that everyone in government was a client of the Dollhouse or “one of ours.” They could do a lot of things with that.
Summer Glau
Rumors have circulated for a while about Summer Glau appearing on Dollhouse. Joss said he wanted to put her in a role we had not seen her in before.
Summer Glau (“Firefly,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”) reunites with Joss Whedon when the actress joins the cast of DOLLHOUSE this fall in a recurring role as BENNETT, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with ECHO (Eliza Dushku).
I cannot wait to see Summer return to a good series.
