Production
Fox has decided to forgo the
pilot episode of the series, opting to put funds towards the construction of the elaborate set and cultural context of the television series. It has been described as a "life-size Dollhouse".
[3] On July 22nd, 2008 Joss Whedon announced that the first episode shot, "Echo", will be pushed to be the second, while a new episode will become first, saying that this "idea to do a new first episode wasn’t the network’s. It was mine."
The reason Whedon did it because, after test audiences found it too confusing and dark Whedon decided to shoot a new pilot, "
Ghost", to better introduce the story and characters to the viewing audience.
On
May 15th 2008 a trailer containing parts of "Echo" was shown at the Fox-Upfronts and was later leaked on the Internet.
