Joss Whedon’s Free Internet Mini-Series Event
During the writer’s strike, Joss Whedon was busy creating a 40-minute direct-to-interwebz-and-then-to-DVD musical called “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” starring Neil Patrick Harris as a “low-rent supervillain” and Nathan Fillion as the hero.
It will air in three parts on drhorrible.com that are FREE TO WATCH between July 15th and July 20th at midnight (what time zone, Joss?). Here’s the trailer:
AND, and, and. You know how I’m all excited about going to Comic Con? Well Joss added to my excitement by writing this in his Dr. Horrible Master Plan:
We intend to make it available for download soon after it’s published. This would be for a nominal fee, which we’re hoping people will embrace instead of getting all piratey. We have big dreams, people, and one of them is paying our crew.
And somewhat later, we will put the complete short epic out on DVD – with the finest and bravest extras in all the land. We’ll go into greater detail about that at Comiccon, but we’re changing the face of Show Friendliness a second time with that crazy DVD.
Did you see that I placed the most important part of that statement in bold? I have no idea if I’ll be able to score entrance to that panel, but this is just a reminder to everyone that AWESOME THINGS WILL HAPPEN AT COMIC CON and I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED OMG YOU DON’T EVEN REALIZE.
I am foaming at the mouth with geek slobber. Note to self: have an absorbent cloth available at all times while in the convention hall.
Thanks to Sam in Australia for sending me the Dr. Horrible details.
