With all the success of Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog, I figured it was only a matter of time before he attempted another project like it. And from the sound of things he is thinking of continuing with Dr Horrible.
“Well, we don’t want to be beholden to anybody,” Whedon said in a group interview on Tuesday in Hollywood at a Paley Fest panel on the show. “We want to do the product the same way we did the first one, which is out of our hearts, and then go to people [and say], ‘OK, if you’re interested in this, this is what it is.’ Besides, it could be something theatrical. It could be something on the Internet again, where it’s done on the fly and it all comes from us. We don’t know how we want that to be. The best thing to do is to write it. Then we can start deciding a business model based on the script.”
Dr. Horrible was the only pleasant surprise to come out of the Writer’s Stike.
Gasp! Joss WROTE!!! During the strike … of writers!! Blasphemer.
But I thank him every day as those infectious tunes digs its way into my every thought. They make me smile.
Peronally as much as I would love to see more Dr Horrible, I think that it was a contained story and I feel very satisfied with it. I think that is why I love it so much. I don’t need more. And believe me, Joss is the master at making me want more.
A Dr Horrible feature film? Sounds like genius. But I am going out on a limb to say I wish Joss would spread his genius out a little and come up with something else.
The networks need to cancel another one of my favourite shows.
