Dollhouse?
Nov. 1st, 2007 08:00 pmWell, well, well. Whedon and Dushku back together again.
The description sounds... interesting.
" "Dollhouse is a suspense drama about a girl who can have any personality except her own."
Or, from eonline
Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.
Hmm. From anyone else, I'd be pretty dubious about the chances of pulling this off without being... icky, but I'm willing to give Whedon the benefit of the doubt. And if done well, it could be awesome.
