It appears that Joss Whedon – writer god that blessed us with Serenity – decided to write a sweet new masterpiece called “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” during the writers strike! Felicia Day is saying that it is an internet Musical. Yup. Internet. Musical. w00t!
Joss writes:
It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. And I’m having the time of my life.
The super villian – Doctor Horrible – will be played by Neil Patrick Harris. The hero – Captain Hammer – by Nathan Fillion, and the cute girl – Penny – will be played by one of my favorite YouTube stars: Felicia Day of The Guild!
Sadly there isn’t a ton out there regarding this epic musical, but I’ll be waiting and watching. Joss Whedon. Nathan Fillion. Felicia Day. Neil Patrick Harris. Awesome.
I was actually on the set of Dr. Horrible and it looks like it will be a lot of fun. Especially the songs which are very catchy. I am still singing one of them which is stuck in my head.
