Joss Whedon Announced today that Nathan Fillion will play the hero in a special Internet Musical.
Whedon reports that during the WGA strike he started writing the musical which will be a limited internet series. Each of the three episodes will be approximately ten minute each.
Co-writers for the internet feature are Joss’ brothers Zack and Jed and Jed’s Fiance Maurissa . The writing has been completed and shooting commenced today.
“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.
I’m jazzed about this! Nathan thank you for doing such awesome projects!!!
Just found this site for the first time, fantastic. I can’t wait for this project I love quirky projects such as this. I’m interested in what the costumes for yourself and Neil Patrick Harris. Hope it’s fun to do.
Thanks for the feedback on the site, always good to know people like it. It should be noted however, that it says “fan site” all over it
No acutal Nathan behind it, sorry.
Em – well – like – eh???! I read somewhere that Mr F. used to be involved in running karaoke nights (and singing Bobby Darin’s “Beyond the Sea”, apparently),so he has SOME sort of musical background, but this – this sounds frankly mental. But, hey, it’s the Whedon/Fillion double act again, and Dougie Howser, so whatever else it is, it should be fun. Still, “Serenity 2″ would be even more ace, grumble, grumble…
Shiny…cant wait to see it…love musicals…but especially love firefly/serenity…how about a musical there guys?…grin…well keep us in the loop whens and wheres of it..thanks…keep flying…Gerry/Crewchief
Shiny indeed…and a stellar cast as well…how can a body keep track of when and how this will be available? ( all typos belong to the cat helping me type). As a relative newcomer to the “verse I am still colating all the relevant links.
We’ll post an update here as soon as there’s news
I am most pleased.
Am eagerly awaiting news about when and how this will become available to the loyal fans…the whole concept so totaly shiney.

I just can’t get over how handsome you are Nathan. I’m sure many female fans have told you that.
I can go on dreaming about you
