TV Guide’s Matt Roush answers fan questions - including this one on Dollhouse:

Question: I have a bad feeling about Dollhouse with all the changes that Joss Whedon is having to make. Actually, I had a foreboding right from the beginning. There’s no question Whedon is a genius. There are episodes of Buffy that no one [...]

 Spoiler, Spoiler!
The title for episode 1.03 will be “The Target”, below is an outline and casting call for this episode:
 
 
 

 
OUTLINE
A group of people, known as “Actives” (or “Dolls”), have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas and hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies and occasional [...]

Spoiler Spoiler!
The title for Dollhouse episode 1.04 will be “Stage Fright”. Here are some character casting calls for the episode:
[ALYSON]
20’s Female, African American. Alyson is a beautiful Pop Star. She has major stage presence and the talent to back it up. MUST BE AN EXCELLENT SINGER AND DANCER. (Think Alicia Keys, Rhianna, Beyonce). HUGE GUEST STAR
[THE FAN] [...]

Difficult economic times and other uncertainties have meant that international buyers remain cool over the purchase of Dollhouse (and many other US shows on offer), despite the recent screening in London:

Proprietress of the Establishment: Olivia Williams said: “I’m playing a character called Adelle DeWitt, who runs the Dollhouse. If you need a date, you come [...]

I thought I’d elevate this TV Week article from the comments to give it more exposure. Apparently there’s more to the 2 week Dollhouse hiatus than meets the eye:
Officially, 20th executives said the shutdown is designed to give Mr. Whedon time to focus on getting the show’s scripts in better shape. According to [...]

Bad news, or perhaps good news in that Dollhouse has shut down production for 2 weeks. Korbi at Zap2it has more:
The highly-anticipated Dollhouse, from acclaimed TV guru Joss Whedon, has shut down production for two weeks. I’m told that because Joss directed two of the three episodes already shot, he has not had sufficient time [...]

One of the things that I like about the ‘Dollhouse’ premise (not the show, I haven’t seen that yet) is that it deals with fantastical science and it’s interaction with the human condition. At the heart of the premise is memory, or rather, mind-wiping. Such a vulgar term, but it is what it is. Anyways, [...]

Forget MIPCOM, forget Cannes, the very first place that Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse will be shown is London, or ‘the LDN’, as all the kids are calling it these days. Yes, that would explain the above video, in honour of that great city. The new pilot will be shown to business types in an attempt to [...]
