Count Down to Doctor-Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Just in case any of you needed reminding, we are just hours away from the debut of Act 1 of Joss Whedon’s episodic Internet musical, “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” Throngs of Whedon fanboys (and girls) are undoubtedly overcome with the vapors tonight as they maintain caffeine-fueled vigils in front of their monitors, awaiting the premiere at 3:00 am on the east coast, midnight on the west.
Co-written by Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack and Jed, and Jed’s fiancée Maurissa Tancharoen, “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” was born of the WGA strike and created with a budget in the low six figures. It features Neil Patrick Harris as a nerd with villainous aspirations and his very own vlog, Nathan Fillion, the hero to NPH’s villain, and Felicia Day as the love interest.
An E! Online review called “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” reminiscent of “Once More, With Feeling” (aka the Buffy musical.) That plus NPH is good enough for me.
Act 2 of Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will debut on Thursday, July 17th at 12:00 am PST, and Act 3 will premiere at 12:00 am PST on Saturday, July 19th. Check the official fan site to find the launch time in your time zone. The three episodes will be available online until midnight on July 20th. While you’re waiting, enjoy the trailer:
