According to a poster over at IMDB (meaning it's a rumor) after receiving the Pilot Episode of Dollhouse, F*X is requiring that about half of it [Pilot episode] be reshot...

IF this is true, I wonder if Joss isn't already rethinking his decision to go back to F*X.

Zoe: Don't think its a good spot sir, she still has the advantage over us.
Mal: Everyone always does; that's what makes us special.

After Joss "re-works" the Pilot, Fox Execs will say to him..." Even though you "fixed" the Pilot, we really don't know what this is going to look like on a weekly episode basis, so give us a regular episode to judge it by....the rest is history, hopefully not to be repeated.

Yes, "reshoot" being the operative word, not "rewritten."
Big difference.
Reshoots happen quite a bit, especially for pilots, due to the reasons mentioned in the post you linked.

yeah - there's always some kind of crazy going down...
but the number of comissioned episodes is probably the best marker
and the last i heard - that had been extended from 7 to 13...
hang fire people.

he should film the show in reverse order, with the final episode aired first. that way at least this show won't get cancelled before it is resolved.

My guess is that FOX knows no other network will give Joss a 2nd look, and if he wants to put his work on air, it's pretty much them or no one.

It seems to me from the posted article that it's the norm to re-shoot. No cause for alarm!
Still though, if I were Joss I wouldn't buy that villa in Italy just quite yet, if you know what I mean.
Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

Didn't I read somewhere that when Eliza and Joss met over lunch and cooked up the basis for the show, that she was stuck in a contract with Fox?
Based on this, my own personal theory has been that Joss went back for more hiney-kicking from his favorite network for Eliza's sake.
Any comments or evidence for this?
