Question: With Sarah Connor Chronicles canceled, please tell me there is a possibility of Summer Glau making an appearance on Dollhouse! --Jenn

Ausiello: The noise you're about to hear is the sound of the Whedonverse exploding. Joss confirms to me exclusively that, well, he's one step head of you. "If anybody thinks [bringing Summer onto Dollhouse] hasn't occurred to me already then they have not met me," he says. "I mentioned it to her before [SCC] was canceled. I was like, 'You know, we should get you in the 'house.' But first we have to come up with something that works." And casting her as a doll would not work, insists Whedon. "Summer would be perfect to play an active, but she's done that [type of role] a lot," he says. "I'd rather see her play someone who talks too much. The most fun I have is when I get somebody who's good and comfortable at doing something, and then I make them do something else. Summer said to me, 'I would like to play a normal girl before I die of extreme old age.'"

Maybe he was reading this Fourm

I think she would have been a good doll however I can understand her being typecast but it would be a shame not to make use of her skills at pulling off fight scenes.

I guess we could go down the line of a former doll or FBI agent since

Yer man is now working for the dollhouse

Excellent . I'm still keen on the idea of making Summer Glau Echo and leaving Dushku as a producer only but that ain't gonna happen...

This would soften the blow somewhat of losing T:SCC, and a devilish move from Whedon in attracting T:SCC fans who are disgruntled at losing their Glau fix.:pac:
