The TV Show: Dollhouse starred Eliza Dushku as Echo, an "Active" for a Los Angeles-based company that hires out re-programmable people to rich folks with a variety of needs--from bodyguards and henchmen (or henchwomen) to escorts and friends. The series developed a fan-base but never a big enough viewership to warrant more than two all-too-brief seasons. The Film: Joss Whedon has had a hit-and-miss record with his television career--not according to the fans (they just about love them all!), but with ratings. Buffy was certainly a hit, and Angel fared well, too, but others like Dollhouse didn't seem to have a fighting chance. According to interviews, Dollhouse never aired the way Joss Whedon meant it to, with storylines and characters being added and subtracted by the studio folks in charge. A feature film reboot would allow the master tale-spinner to tell the story he originally wanted to tell.
