Fox has foreclosed on producer Joss Whedon’s sci-fi drama “Dollhouse.” The decision comes as production on the show’s second season nears to a close. A victim of poor viewership, “Dollhouse” was pulled off the November sweeps schedule after only airing four of its 13 episode order. Fox will begin to broadcast the remaining original episodes on Dec. 4.

Whedon comments on Whedonesque.com:

I’m extremely proud of the people I’ve worked with: my star (Eliza Dushku), my staff, my cast, my crew. I feel the show is getting better pretty much every week, and I think you’ll agree in the coming months. I’m grateful that we got to put it on, and then come back and put it on again. I’m off to pursue internet ventures/binge drinking. Possibly that relaxation thing I’ve read so much about. By the time the last episode airs, you’ll know what my next project is. But for now there’s a lot of work still to be done, and disappointment to bear. Thank you all for your support, your patience, your excellent adverts. See you again.

“Dollhouse” stars Eliza Dushku as a programmable femme-bot created to carry out the needs of the wealthy. While the show was never a hit with the Nielsen’s, it had reached cult status similar to Whedon’s other ill-fated Fox show “Firefly.” But, it’s not all bad news. Fox has ordered reality king Mark Burnett’s new game show “Our Little Genius.” The program pits contestants ages 6-to12 against each other in a battle of smarts. The winner receives an executive position at Fox cash prizes.

The much anticipated sequel to the 2005 girls vs. cave-dwellers hit The Descent will have its premiere in the UK in December before making its way to the U.S. in 2010. Directed by Jon Harris, the film sees the return of original cast members Shauna MacDonald, Natalie Jackson Mendoza, and MyAnna Buring.

The synopsis for The Descent 2 reads:

Traumatized, Sarah Carter (Shauna MacDonald) emerges alone from the cave system where she confronted her darkest dread. With no rational explanation to what happened, the authorities force her back into the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing girlfriends. But as the rescue party enters further uncharted domains, flashbacks start haunting Sarah as shocking memories of the past hit home. For they are venturing into the habitat of a new tribe of Crawlers, even more viciously feral than Sarah faced before.

Freddy’s back.

Production wrapped over the summer on Platinum Dunes reboot of the Wes Craven classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Directed by Samuel Bayer, A Nightmare on Elm Street stars Jackie Earle Haley as the iconic child molester/murder Freddy Kruger and Rooney Mara as his foil Nancy Thompson. Check it out:

Hey, where’s the phone kiss? I’ve got big hopes for this. Jackie Earle Haley is the only good thing about the snooze-fest that is Watchmen and his turn as child molester Ronnie J. McGorvey in the 2006 drama Little Children was downright chilling.

Freddy’s coming for you on April 30, 2010.
