Yes, "Ghostbusters 3" is actually happening, with original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd reportedly close to finishing the script. The details of the plot are pretty sparse, but last year Aykroyd name dropped Eliza Dushku as a star he'd like to see in the film.

When I had the opportunity to chat with Dushku while she was promoting the release of "Dollhouse" season two on DVD and Blu-Ray, she said that she hadn't been approached to join the film, but she would definitely be interested. "It would be an honor to be alongside Sigourney [Weaver]," she said with a laugh. Read more...

Episode Title: "Getting Closer"

Written By: Tim Minear

Synopsis: There is a war coming between the Los Angeles Dollhouse and the rest of the Rossum Corporation. Echo (Eliza Dushku) wants to awaken her true persona of Caroline Farrell, who had a face-to-face encounter with the man in charge of Rossum before turning into Echo. But before she and her allies can learn that information, it's revealed that Caroline's stored memory has gone missing, leading to the recruitment of scientist supreme Bennett Halverson (Summer Glau).

Even as the forces of Rossum come closing in on the Dollhouse, love hangs thick in the air. Anthony Ceccoli and Priya Tsetsang — better known as Victor (Enver Gjokaj) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman) — run off to be with one another, Topher Brink (Fran Kranz) seals the deal with Bennett, and Whiskey (Amy Acker) has secretly been living with Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix) for the past several months. But one of these relationships ends in death and another takes an even more shocking turn. Read more...

In 2009, we tried something new here on MTV Movies Blog. There's an abundance of television programming these days built around season-long and multi-season story arcs. The small-screen viewing experience is different of course -- no event blockbusters, 3-D (well... once, on "Chuck," and it was meh) or anything like that -- but a well-told tale is a hard thing to ignore. That's why we started covering a few shows with recaps, interviews and the like.

Well the TV is looking pretty damn good in 2010, so we'll be back with even more coverage. To get ready, ace contributor Josh Wigler and I sat down to consider a few of the shows we'll be watching in the coming months, commenting on what we see in store for them... Read more...

Episode Title: "Stop-Loss" & "The Attic"

Written By: Andrew Chambliss / Maurissa Tancharoen & Jed Whedon

Synopsis: Time sure flies when you're living in the Dollhouse — that's certainly the case for Anthony Ceccoli, the man formerly known as Victor (Enver Gjokaj), who is released from his five year contract with the Rossum Corporation. But the real world has plans other than peace for Tony, leading him into a dark army controlled by Rossum. Echo (Eliza Dushku), Boyd (Harry Lennix) and Topher (Fran Kranz) bring Sierra (Dichen Lachman) — real name Priya Tsetsang — into their secret, hoping that her romantic connection to Victor will help bring him back into the fold.

Dollhouse overseer Adelle Dewitt (Olivia Williams) isn't terribly pleased that her actives assaulted a Rossum facility, leading her to sentence Echo, Victor and Sierra to an indefinite stay in the Attic. While there, the Dolls reunite with Laurence Dominic (Reed Diamond) and learn a terrible truth about the real nature of the Attic. Meanwhile, Topher is forced to replace Paul Ballard's (Tahmoh Penikett) brain with an active's architecture, essentially turning him into a Doll so that he has a fighting chance at staying alive. Unknown to Paul — and the viewers — is that certain aspects of his brain and personality had to be sacrificed for the resurrection. Read more...

Episode Title: "Meet Jane Doe" & "A Love Supreme"

Written By: Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon & Andrew Chambliss / Jenny DeArmitt

Synopsis: It's been three months since Echo (Eliza Dushku) went AWOL. In that time, she has increased her self-awareness to the point of having a full-fledged personality, thanks to the companionship and training provided by her handler-turned-friend Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett). At the Dollhouse, Topher (Fran Kranz) discovers a deadly secret about the Rossum Corporation, providing Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams) with an opportunity to regain control over daily operations and proving once and for all just how cutthroat she truly is.

But even more dangerous is the renegade Alpha (Alan Tudyk), who resurfaces with a bloodthirsty vendetta towards every man and woman that ever fell in love with Echo. Now back at the Dollhouse, Paul and Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix) assist the secretly self-aware Echo in finding and stopping Alpha, but the deadly sociopath already has plans of his own to make himself known.

Episode Titles: "The Public Eye" & "The Left Hand"

Written By: Andrew Chambliss / Tracy Bellomo

Synopsis: Senator Daniel Perrin (Alexis Denisof) continues his investigation into the Rossum Corporation, but what he finds — and what the Dollhouse crew expects — turns out to be drastically more deadly and life-changing than he could have ever imagined.

In light of the revelation that Perrin isn't who he thinks he is, the senator finds an unlikely ally in Echo (Eliza Dushku) as the two attempt to escape the clutches of the D.C. branch of the Dollhouse — but beyond the authorities looking to recapture them, Perrin and Echo must contend with the brilliant Bennett Halverson (Summer Glau), the D.C. Dollhouse's technician who has a score to settle with Echo. Read more...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Sure, Anne Hathaway is the latest in a long line of rumored contenders for the role of Black Cat in "Spider-Man 4" (even though there's no confirmation the character is even in the film), but does anyone remember another rumor from a few years back that cast an entirely different actress in the role?

Well, even if you didn't remember the pre-"Spider-Man 3" rumor that had "Dollhouse" actress Eliza Dushku playing cat burglar Felicia Hardy, we did — and we asked her about it when she dropped by Splash Page HQ a while back.

"Don't you love the Internet and the fans out there?" Dushku laughed when MTV Movies Editor Josh Horowitz asked if she'd seen the fan-made "Spider-Man 4" posters with her as Black Cat. "They do it up!"
