New Dollhouse episodes leaked

Copies of the scrapped pilot and the new mythic episode '13' appear to have leaked online overnight.

Another clip of new Dollhouse episode

This time provided by the awesome folks at Fox/Chicago Tribune. Pretty obviously, it contains spoilers (duh!). So, what happened to the Dollhouse?

First season two details for Dollhouse

The first episode is called 'Vows' and is written and directed by Joss Whedon. That's the plan, anyhoo. Production starts soon. I've got some deets on other planned eps but I'm not posting them for obvious reasons. But expect awesomeness.

Also, Tim Minear has moved up to be Executive Producer on the series, from Consulting Producer for season one. This effectively puts him in a similar situation to his involvement in Firefly, for lack of a better way to explain it.

Writers are away tapping their thumbs on their keyboards to keep us all entertained.

A clip of the next episode of Dollhouse!

Coming soon to DeeVeeDee and that geek mecca Comic-Con!

Here's a sneak peek of Epitaph One as a thank you to all the fans for being patient while we address the pre-order issues.

Devoted Fans (hey us) clamour to be first to own Dollhouse? You betya.

Here's the press release. Between the lines version: where Joss goes, the internet crashes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVOTED FANS CLAMOUR TO BE AMONG FIRST
TO OWN JOSS WHEDON’S

Dollhouse

SEASON ONE

Popularity Of Show Causes Temporary Sales Disruption Of Exclusive Advanced BD/DVD

CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Within a couple of hours, fervent fans of Joss Whedon’s television hit “Dollhouse,” created a colossal traffic jam temporarily halting the pre-sale at Foxstore.com of the special advanced limited edition BD and DVD of the show’s groundbreaking first season. Individually numbered and highly collectible, only 5000 (2500 Blu-ray/2500 DVD) copies were created, each featuring a personal letter to fans from Whedon and special packaging. The DVD is available for pick-up exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con International. The Studio has resumed pre-sales.

“Dollhouse” Season One BD and DVD will be available everywhere July 28.

Comic-DVD limited edition DVD available for order.

Here's the link.

Make sure you read the small print, you have to pick it up in person at Comic-Con.

I managed to order from the UK, despite it saying US customers only.

If you have problems, the phone number is 1-888-223-4FOX. People at FOX are working hard to work out the problems, but I gather there are still some there. Let me know in the comments how you're getting on.

The ep screens as a world premiere (if you exclude Singapore) at Comic-Con in a few weeks time. My understanding is Joss, Eliza, Maurissa and Jed will be there, soakin' up the sun (and the geeks) (sungeeks?).
