Hey!! Peter Liguori and Dana Walden!! Eliza Dushku Just Signed A Talent Deal At Fox TV!! So Here’s A Wacky Idea!!

I am – Hercules!!


Eliza Dushku just signed a talent deal with Fox TV. From a Monday morning story in Variety:

The studio is now starting to integrate Dushku in the development process, giving her a chance to familiarize herself with some of the scribes who have deals at 20th.

Since, as I recall, one of the idling scribes still under contract at Fox is “Angel” vet Tim Minear (and Fox controls the rights to Dushku’s most famous character), why not put Minear and Dushku together for a new hourlong titled “Faith The Vampire Slayer”?

Fox likes highly rated premiere episodes. Maybe I’m wrong, but I suspect a few more people might tune in for Dushku playing a superhero (you know, like on that popular NBC show "Heroes"?) than Dushku playing another cop or lawyer or doctor.

Check with your colleagues over at Fox Home Entertainment. Fox has sold a LOT of Buffiverse DVDs over the last five years.

Read all of Variety’s story on Dushku’s deal here.
