Well then....

Variety says Dushku will star in the Whedon-penned series "Dollhouse," which has been given a seven-episode order by Fox. Produced by 20th Century Fox TV "Dollhouse" follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse"). It is Fox. When do we start placing bets on when, exactly, this gets yanked? Anyone want after two episodes?

Director Terry Gilliam will reteam with his Brothers Grimm star Heath Ledger on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus for Samuel Hadida's Davis Film.

Simon Wincer has signed on to direct The Holy Road -- a sequel to Dances With Wolves -- for Moonstone, Amicus Entertainment and Double Eagle Films.

Variety reports that NBC is putting the kibosh on "Heroes: Origins" -- and the possibility of a strike contributed to the decision.

July 25, 2008 is when you should expect the second X-Files movie. Mmmmmm. Gillian Anderson.

They'll do 5 episodes:

2 3 4 5 & 6

out of order, and on random dates/times.

...But only if it's actually any good.

Yeah, I'm upset about Heroes: Origins, but I understand why they're doing it. The writer's strike and the ratings (though I seriously disagree that Heroes is worse this season, I think it's better) haven't left them much choice. I just hope the strike doesn't last too long and cost Heroes (and other good shows) a chance of renewal.

Hmm... my interest is piqued on that Conan news, especially since I've been familiarizing myself w/ the original books lately. I've also been enjoying the Busiek written/Nord drawn interpretation/expansions on the original Conan stories. I'm trying to read the original stories before reading the equivalent comics though.

Could be worse. Could be SciFi or WB. They would run "Dollhouse" opposite an already established and well liked show then bitch that no one is watching theirs.

Fox does that too. Look at Drive. They put it opposite Dancing With the Stars and Deal or No Deal, both hits of Monday nights. Then, not only did they complain about the ratings, they blamed Drive on the drop of 24's rating that happened that week. (Nevermind that same week was the week Heroes, which was opposite 24, returned from a hiatus.)
