Joss Whedon in America’s Top 40 : Most influential showrunners

Thursday 13 November 2008, by Webmaster

Joss Whedon - "Dollhouse" (Fox)

Whedon believes in the power of the writers room so much that after filming three episodes of his forthcoming midseason drama "Dollhouse," he shut down production because he hadn’t spent enough time there. "I use the room for (script structure) and then I send people off on their lonesomes to write," he says. Whedon prefers that approach for himself, too; he’ll head to a restaurant with his Pilot Razor Points and listen to movie soundtracks while composing scripts by hand. He is a showrunning vet (at one point he was in control of "Angel," "Firefly" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), but Whedon says that doesn’t make him experienced. "The thing about showrunning is you never learn anything," he admits. "The biggest part is to surround yourself with smart people and then take credit for it."
