io9 Interview Joss Whedon
i09 interview Joss Whedon briefly here, where he talks about Dollhouse and its future post-strike. Here are the choice quotes pertaining to the show:
What about Dollhouse will draw in your Buffy and Firefly fans?
Well, Eliza (Dushku). Duh. It’s very different than the stuff I’ve done before, but at the same time it’s still a very hardcore examination of the human condition. It really sort of boils it down to who are we, how are we programmed, what do we need, what is okay about us, and what is really not okay. It’s the most morally gray thing I’ve ever done. I think it might actually anger a lot of my fans, but there are questions I still have to ask. Ultimately I think it will intrigue them because that.
We keep hearing that the strike will be over soon. How has it affected Dollhouse? Have you actually written any of it yet?
I had just pitched the seven episodes for the show, I hadn’t written anything. I did not even so much as look at them during the strike, and will not until the strike is over. The day the strike is over, I will start working, so whatever we plan to do will certainly be pushed back by exactly as many months as the strike was… or still is.
