Eliza Dushku has inked a development deal in the mid- to high six figures under which Fox will develop projects custom-made for the Tru Calling alum, as well as approach her with existing scripts. "[Fox entertainment president] Kevin [Reilly] and I think she's awesome," Fox entertainment chairman Peter Liguori tells the Hollywood Reporter. "She is absolutely charismatic on screen... riveting... fresh... smart. She's a TV star, but most definitely we know she's a Fox star." And a fox to boot.
