I can’t say I’m a Buffy/Angel fan, but between Firefly and his run on X-Men, I’m decidedly ghey over Joss Whedon.

That being said, whenever he announces a new project, my ears perk up.

His latest…might be the most interesting.

It’s the musical tale of a super-villain….DOCTOR HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG!

Here’s what the quickly-balding-hero-of-nerds-nationwide had to say about it

So.....

The bag is catless.

During the strike I started writing a musical intended as a limited internet series, 3 episodes of approximately 10 minutes each. Writing with me was my brother Jed, his fiancee Maurissa, and my other brother Zack. To my shock and surprise, we finished it. To my greater shock and surprise, we managed (with the help of many people I’ll be praising at length soon) to drag it into preproduction (yes, just as DOLLHOUSE was given a start date two months away and all my comics were due.) And today, after a grueling week of writing everything ever while trying to be a producer, I got to start shooting. A musical.

This much I will say: 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.

“DOCTOR HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG” Neil Patrick Harris…..as Dr. Horrible Nathan Fillion……….as Captain Hammer Felicia Day………….as Penny

And a cast of Dozens!

Coming soon.

More Fillion goodness? NPH hamming it up as a super villain? The ultra-cute Felicia Day (hey, that’s a good last name!) as a cute girl? INTERNET?! Sounds like a sweet deal.
