Apple iTunes Store raises profile of new Eliza Dushku show Dollhouse
The power of Apple in the whole range of media - music, film, tv - has been increasing year on year. From Toy Story (via Pixar) to digital downloads (iTunes) and mobile phones (iPod), the creators of the wonderful Apple Mac have dominated new channels.
We are now seeing an impact on film and tv, following iTunes becoming the number one digital downloads site for music.
The latest show to benefit from Apple is the new tv series for Buffy and Tru Calling star, Eliza Dushku. The premier episode of Dollhouse has already shot to No. 2 slot on iTunes sales, just behind Battlestar Galactica.
Eliza Dushku plays Echo, a member of a group of people known as Actives or Dolls. Sort of a cross between Alias and Dark Angel, the Dolls can become powerful contractors for various missions, good and bad, or even fantasies.
Although the Dolls have their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with new personas, Echo starts to become self-aware. The acquired talents, muscle memory, skills and language from different assignments can be a benefit or a curse.
Actives are monitored by Handlers. In between tasks, the mind-wiping takes place in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed “The Dollhouse.”
