Comic-Con video: Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku talk 'Dollhouse'

If you sit in on a Joss Whedon panel, you're sure to be entertained.

Whedon brought along Faith-ful "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" companion Eliza Dushku and "Battlestar Galactica" captain Tahmoh Penikett to a panel introducing the world to "Dollhouse," which is set to debut in early 2009 on Fox. The character, Echo, who can have personalities imprinted on her to be whatever/whoever the mysterious agency known as 'the Dollhouse' needs, is based in part on the craziness and the randomness of Dushku's own life.

"Some of the things I might bring [to the part] are feist, fun and fury," says a pumped Dushku.  She was elk hunting when he wrote the pilot ("Sorry PETA, it's part of life") and defers everything to Joss, and supportingly describes him as a "career brassiere" who "makes the words party on the page."
