TELEVISION NEWS: Dollhouse
Okay, so this isn't chick lit, but it is Joss Whedon - one of our favourite screenwriters and creator of the kick ass heroine Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Whedon is currently shooting a new series titled Dollhouse. In it, 'dolls' are people who have had their personalities wiped clean so that they can be imprinted with new ones for special assigments. The dolls are hired out for jobs, crimes, fantasies and occasional good deeds. Creepy, no?
Creepier still, in between tasks they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and kept in a hidden facility known as 'the dollhouse'. The story follows a young female doll called Echo who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.
Echo is played by Eliza Dushku - Faith from Buffy for those who aren't as Whedon-obsessed as I am - and Angel actress Amy Acker (Fred) will also feature.

I am so looking forward to this! I love Joss of course, but also Eliza - I loved her last series, which for some reason I cannot think of the name of it right at this moment (and am too lazy to look it up), but I was very disappointed when it was cancelled. Oh, it was True something...

Ooh.. I got chills just reading that synopsis (and I'm such a geek, I'm going to run in and tell my husband all about it, who will listen politely and not really care and wonder about my over-excitedness)

Oooooh, I can't wait for this! I hope it ends up as fantastic as we think...
