• The ‘monster’ and tagline had been kept under wraps
• Slated for release on February 5, 2010 (US & UK)
• Has now been put back a year for the 3-D treatment, so the release date has been changed to January 14, 2011
• Amy’s role has been confirmed (previously rumoured, but taken to be true) by none other than Dollhouse co-star, Fran Kranz, on his official Twitter
