Dollverse is reporting that the series has now been picked up for 13 episodes and that a trailer will be released shortly; I’m assuming it’s to promote the pilot episode, which as you know, is titled ‘Echo’ and wrapped filming last Friday. Can’t wait!

Be sure to check back for news — and, hopefully, screencaptures! — from the trailer.

EDIT: Another tidbit — the series goes back into production in July before the launch early next year. Hopefully, during that time, we’ll have brand new episode stills and such like!

Some exciting news about Dollhouse; straight from the horses mouth!

I spent a good while chatting with the one and only Joss Whedon (pinch me!), who told me they he just wrapped on the pilot shoot for Dollhouse Friday, and that he has a very good feeling about the series because “Eliza Dushku can play anything, and in this series, she does.” Can. Not. Wait. He also very kindly shared this info about the show:

• Joss directs the second episode as well as the finished-on-Friday pilot, just to get things rolling.
• Sarah Fain and Elizabeth Craft are the show runners.
• Steve DeKnight and Tim Minear are both consulting producers on the series.
• Tim is writing and directing the midseason two-parter, namely episodes seven and eight.
• Joss would love to get Jane Espenson to join the gang too, if he could, but she’s on Battlestar at the moment and the show’s budget might not permit it. (Is it just me or do you want to send Fox a check right about now?)
• As reported earlier this week, Dollhouse will go at midseason, and, according to Joss, it’s likely premiering in January.
• There is no Dollhouse presentation planned at the Fox event, but Eliza Dushku might appear on behalf of the show.
• Joss: “I’m still having so much fun. I keep waiting for it to not be fun anymore.”

Eliza is currently in NYC where she attended several events last night, most notably the ‘Entertainment Weekly & Vavoom Host Annual Upfront Party’ with brother Nate, as well as the ‘Official Concert After Party for Kanye West’ — I’ve added a mixture of MQ and HQ images to the gallery — I love Eliza’s dress, she looks gorgeous. Gallery links and previews are below, enjoy!

In other, related news, the pilot has wrapped filming and has been named ‘Echo’. Variety is also reporting that the series shall premiere January 2009, but confirmation of the exact date is expected tomorrow (May 15) in a press release, so be sure to check back for that! I’m also hoping that the cast of Dollhouse will make an appearance, so fingers crossed.

There is a fantastic (non-spoilery) question and answer session with writers Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain about the upcoming Dollhouse — they were part of the writing team on Angel.

It has also been revealed that Tim Minear (Drive, Angel, etc) is writing episode 7 — whoo! — and that the writing team have already started writing episode 8!

All I can say is that the interview is definitely a must read. Read it in full at dollhousetvforum.com (opens in a new window.) Enjoy!

After a lengthy search on the web, I’ve compiled a list of the film projects that have yet to be released in theatres or on DVD with their known status — which is assumed to be correct — list is as follows;

• Open Graves
- completed; due for release Fall 2008

• The Alphabet Killer
- completed; due for release sometime in 2008

• Sex and Breakfast
- released on DVD (region 1 only so far); purchase at Amazon

The official website for upcoming Bottle Shock has been launched — you may remember that the movie premiered at the ‘Sundance Film Festival’ back in January — and thanks to the site, I was able to update the filmography page and add HQ stills and artwork to the gallery. View the last additions here; a preview of the poster and a still is to your right.

And finally, we have some news on the theatrical releases! There will be a limited release in Somona, California during August of this year (where the movie was filmed) and the general release date has yet to be announced but it has been confirmed, as mentioned below, under the cut.
