The Futon Critic has posted a ‘first look’ at the pilots that didn’t make the cut as well as upcoming series Dollhouse. It confirms that while Amy isn’t in the pilot, as previously suspected, she IS in episode 2. It also looks like that Amy’s character has a nickname; I’m intrigued. A small extract is posted below; view the article in full (opens in a new window) but be aware of minor/major spoilers, depending on how you feel!

What did they leave out: Two recurring characters will join the fun in episode two – Dr. Claire “The Phantom” Saunders (Amy Acker), the Dolls’ mysterious physician (who’s glimpsed but not actually seen in the pilot, at least according to the script); and November (Miracle Laurie), a follow Doll who specializes in personal assignments rather than criminal ones.

Looks like upcoming film, Fire and Ice, may have been re-named; it’s good news though since there’s a better chance of more people being able to see it. I still haven’t been able to see A Near Death Experience for example.

Voltage Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to the upcoming fantasy-adventure “Fire and Ice: The Dragon Chronicles,” which is in post-production. Directed by Pitof (“Catwoman”), the dragon sorcery pic stars Amy Acker (“Angel,” “Alias”) as a princess who faces off against a dragon; Tom Wisdom (“300″) is her knight in shining armor. Also starring is Arnold Vosloo of “Mummy” fame.

Mediapro Pictures (“An American Haunting”) produced the film at their studios in Romania. Voltage is showing early film footage to buyers in Cannes.
