Summer Glau to enter the DOLLHOUSE

Now that Summer Glau is no longer busy with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX canceled it... grrr!), she will be getting a role in Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and of course, Firefly, where Summer had her first big role as River Tam)'s current series. The thing is though, even though she'd be amazing as a doll/active, Joss is looking to add a little surprise and delight by having Glau play, get this…a normal girl.



“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.”

Could this be just a rumor? Or is Summer really going to be playing a talkative normal girl on the series? Stay tuned to find out, I'll try to get some clips as soon as possible.

  1. Whoo!!! awesome, this shud b interesting..

    Obviously she is not that kind of person in-person. Not that all extroverted but rather shy and gentle...she's gonna act in a personality which is 'unnatural' for her, the extroverted, rash (perhaps?), and talkative type...cant wait to watch this movie!

  2. Haha :D
    What you're saying is completely true, except that it's not a movie... it's a TV show that's already airing. The creator is the same guy who created Firefly, where Summer had her first main role, and ever since then he (Joss Whedon) has been loving Summer and wanting to use her as much as posssible. He tends to use and reuse his favorite actresses, for example the star of Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku was a main character in an old series of his, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :)

    Like you, I'm totally exited to see Summer in Dollhouse :DD
