FOX Blesses ‘Dollhouse’ With Friday Death Slot

Well, I think the worst thing that could possibly happen (next to not airing at all) has happened for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

Originally sceduled to debut midseason on Monday Nights with hit show 24, Dollhouse has now been given a Friday night slot, which is notoriously bad for television shows. In fact, the last sci-fi series FOX has launched successfully in that time slot was 1993’s The X-Files.

Also moving to Fridays is FOX’s Terminator: The Sarah Conor Chronicles, whose ratings have plummeted since last season.

Terminator: The Sarah Conor Chronicles gets the 8pm slot, followed by Dollhouse at 9pm. Dollhouse premieres Friday, February 13th at 9pm.

‘The Book of Lies’ Trailer

Best Selling Novelist and Comic Scribe Brad Meltzer (The Zero Game, Identity Crisis) premieres the trailer for his newest novel, The Book of Lies, being released on September 2nd from Grand Central Publishing. Now, this wouldn’t normally be something I would post about, as I like to keep articles somewhat related to geek-culture, but in this case it actually fits the bill quite nicely. The book’s description:

In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world’s most famous murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history.

In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world’s greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain’s murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.

Until now.

Today in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family’s greatest secret: his long-lost father, who’s been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel’s 1932 murder. But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the anicent markings of Cain. And so begins the chase for the world’s first murder weapon.

What does Cain, history’s greatest villain, have to do with Superman, the world’s greatest hero? And what do two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have in common? This is the mystery at the heart of Brad Meltzer’s riveting and utterly intriguing new thriller.

The trailer itself seems like something from out of a conspiracy-theory documentary and features the likes of Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, and Damon Lindelof drawing a link between the murder of the biblical Abel and the murder of Jerry Siegel’s father.

“Buffy: Animated’ What Could Have Been…

A four minute pilot presentation for the (very) short-lived Buffy Animated Series, produced by Joss Whedon and Jeph Loeb, has hit the internets. It even features all of the original cast voices! Well… except for Sarah Michelle Gellar of course who was quoted in saying that she had no interest in the animated series because she was "afraid that Buffy has jumped the shark". In her place was Giselle Loren who played Buffy in the two Buffy video games, Buffy (Xbox) and Chaos Bleeds.

Dr. Horrible, What’s Next?

If you missed the opportunity to stream the 3 parts of Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, all is not lost. You have until July 29th (4 days as of this writing) to go to iTunes and purchase each act at $1.99 each or $3.99 for all of them (Season Pass). Go get it HERE now!

Once it is pulled from iTunes, there will be a DVD released, date still unknown, that will have special features along with comentary, woo hoo!  Don’t miss your chance to have the original, though. If you haven’t seen it yet, then it’s well worth $4.

*Edit* Joss has recently said at Comicon that there will be a part 4 to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Also, he goes on to talk about the DVD features. Those features include Commentary: The Musical, and the 10 best fan applications to the Evil League of Evil. Good stuff, and thanks to Paul for passing that bit along to us.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice Announced for DS

Of all the news I expected to hear surrounding E3, this wasn’t even near the list. There will be a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer videogame gracing dual screens everywhere "soon". I’ll definitely be looking forward to this. But I do have to say, even for a DS game, these graphics look like garbage. Hopefully that improves before release.
