Elliza Dushku takes lead role in new FOX drama

[Buffy Summers]

from variety.com, by JILL FEIWELL & JOSEF ADALIAN

...Dushku, known for her steady gigs on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," has inked for the lead role in the 20th Century Fox TV/Original TV untitled project. The drama from Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious") and Jon Feldman ("American Dreams"), revolves around a woman who graduates from college and discovers that she's able to save lives by changing the course of events. Cohen is set to direct.
Feldman said Dushku embodied all of the characteristics his lead character had.

"Eliza was always the prototype for the role," Feldman said. "To actually get the prototype is an amazing thing. She's incredibly smart, sexy and strong off-camera as well as on. She is in every sense of the word the lead," he said.

Dushku, who recently signed with CAA for representation, starred last year on the silver screen in "City by the Sea" and "The New Guy." She is managed by The Firm.

I would of loved to see Eliza reprise her role as Faith on a spin-ff, but this is good, too. She's too great an actress not to see her face weekly.
