New Frontiers

Well, this is new. And just the latest proof that the Interweb is the next go-to place for original programming. After cable, of course. Check it:



Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog

During the WGA strike Joss Whedon started writing a three part musical series for the internet. Each of the three episodes will be approximately ten minutes each.

Co-writers for the internet feature are Joss’ brothers Zack and Jed and Jed’s FiancĂ© Maurissa Tancharoen . The writing and shooting have been completed and the series is now in post-production.

“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.” says Whedon.

“Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” will star Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.”

The first webisode is set to premiere tomorrow. You can find out more info and watch the trailer here at this very handy fan site. People, in case you were unaware, are very, very dedicated to Joss Whedon. Never forget that.
