Dushku Answers Tru Calling
Eliza Dushku, star of Fox’s upcoming supernatural TV series Tru Calling, told SCI FI Wire that her character is not a superhero like Faith, her role on UPN’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “She’s just this normal girl who’s trying to help, but she’s only human,” Dushku said in an interview.
Dushku plays Tru Davies, a young woman working the graveyard shift at a morgue. She finds herself reliving the days in which her cadavers died. “It’s like Groundhog Day,” Dushku said. “Her day is starting over. That person dies at 10 o’clock that night, and now it’s the day repeating itself. She has to find out who that person is, and she has X amount of hours to keep them from dying.”
So far, Dushku has only shot the pilot, which was directed by film director Phillip Noyce, whom she considered “awesome.” “He experiments with different shots and different angles and taught me a lot about looking at film, looking at a frame and filling up the foreground as well as the middle and the background and just trying different angles and lighting styles and emotions,” Dushku said.
Though busy in her film career, Dushku had no qualms about returning to series TV. “A lot of actors are doing both [films and television], and I understand why, because television affects people just as much as film. People can turn you on in their living rooms, in their bedrooms, and follow you, watch your stories and be impacted and affected in the same way.” Tru Calling will air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, starting in the fall.
