From Geek Orthodox: Name that vehicle!

Joss Whedon plans to add actress Summer Glau to the cast of the surprisingly renewed "Dollhouse" next season.

"If anybody thinks [bringing Summer onto Dollhouse] hasn't occurred to me already then they have not met me," he says. "I mentioned it to her before Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled. I was like, 'You know, we should get you in the 'house.' But first we have to come up with something that works."

Marvel Comics is planning a mini-series featuring the Golden Age Human Torch.

Alex Ross and Mike Carey will team up for a miniseries starring the original Human Torch, the android who debuted back in Marvel Comics #1. ...According to Butler, Ross will provide the concept and the covers for the series, which is part of Marvel’s 70th-anniversary celebration. No release date was given.

Comic book series based on the 70s sci-fi film "Logan's Run" are in the works.
