Eliza Dushku is enjoying the relative success of the small screen being the only Whedon show since Buffy/Angel to get a second season, but she is also showing some range in her sexy badassery with Dollhouse having to play a new person each episode.
Well on the side she lent her toughgirl voice to the video game WET which ambiguously plays on the lead role of a sexy gun for hire… with swords. Well now Eliza dropped a hint suggesting it could be a movie.
Eliza Dushku mentioned that the current video game WET, in which she plays a sexy leather-clad action heroine, is something that might become a feature film for her to topline. The game isn’t terribly good, which doesn’t matter in the deal, but seems unlikely to become any sort of breakout success, which might matter. I’d bet on Dollhouse getting a third season first. Dusku’s exact quote (in which, yes, she vaguely refers to herself in the third person, which rules) reads like this:
This video game ‘Wet’ I just did, she’s got a working class Lara Croft thing going on, and she’s pretty kick ass. She travels the globe, she’s in Hong Kong and she’s in the UK and she’s a gun for hire and she’s got two samurai swords. She’s pretty vicious. So that’s been something that maybe could turn into a live-action Dushku vehicle.
Now that isn’t to say there is a WET movie already happening, or that a deal is signed but it is something that could happen.
As a rule, video game movies suck but what if the video game itself sucks? Does that change the equation? Makes you think huh?
I would love to see Dushku in any role that has her kicking ass and taking names. And a gun toting sword wielding girl-deadpool would be hot.
