It's not Firefly, it's something new. http://www.dollverse.com/

You know, you just can't "hit and run" like that.

It's called Dollhouse and it's Joss, Tim Minear (exec prod: Firefly) and Eliza Duskhu.

Eliza Dushku?!?

NOW YOU ARE A TEASE!!!

Where's the forum, gossi? What's this business about you and fox? Don't even tell me you're running their prospero forum, prospero sucks.

It's fabulous news! I love me my Joss, and having Tim there is shiny, too!

-----------------------
Please excuse me a moment for a bit of pondering...

I have to admit to wondering where it leaves the 'Verse, though. I enjoyed Buffy, of course, and Eliza Dushku is interesting (although I can't say she's even close to the top of my favorite actresses). But I really enjoyed having a male lead, as in Firefly/Serenity. I'm sure Joss will give us lots of interesting and nice-to-look-at guys in Dollhouse - he's good at that. But it's not the same.

Joss has proven he can work on more than one television show at a time. So it doesn't mean he might not still be given an opportunity to continue TV work for Firefly. I dunno.

Dollhouse news for me: great for Joss, happiness, anticipation, but also a pang of Firefly pain.

Julesong - You have expressed my thoughts and feelings exactly. I will be more than grateful for anything made by Joss, but it just won't be Firefly...
And here's another thought: Joss has stated on several occassions that he would take any chance to continue the story of Firefly. So why hasn't he tried to convince Fox to pick another season of Firefly instead of proposing an entirely new series? (Or has he tried and we just don't know it?) One can't help but feel slightly betrayed, despite the joy of all-new Whedon stories being made...

This is probably news to no one here, but I wandered over to the fox websie (www.foxhome.com) to scream at them...ah...Inform them that I wanted more Firefly not some other random series but they do not even have any contact info for the TV series section. (Cowards)

Just a link to the website, which refers back to the link to the website.

Well, I'll watch it.

Since FOX lost an 8 figure sum on Firefly, I can be pretty certain they wouldn't pick it up again. That and the fact all the actors have moved onto other projects, many long term, so you'd have to do it with an almost entirely new cast.

Sad, but kinda true.

I didn't really read what it is about but I will watch it because it's Joss. I've never liked an American series enough to download it before it comes over here, (I got into Buffy, Angel, and Firefly late) but I just may not be able to wait with this.

I really wish the writers strike would end so Joss and co. can go back to work. Originally, Dollhouse was slated for a 2008 premiere. Now, it could be much later than that...I need more Joss!!!!!! And Eliza!!!!!
