Joss Whedon's "Doctor Horrible" Set To Launch

Ololiuhqui writes "During the writer's strike, Joss Whedon came up with a musical idea. Now his diabolical plan is about to be unleashed in the form of a streaming-only release, with a DVD shortly to follow. The three-part Doctor Horrible series stars Neil Patrick Harris as the eponymous doctor, Felicia Day as the woman of his dreams, and Nathan Fillion as the doctor's nemesis, Captain Hammer. Reportedly made for 'less than six figures,' the series has already received rave reviews and will no doubt showcase Whedon's musical facility, as well as his proven ability to squeeze the most out of a budget."

[Jerry Smith]

it was a good fantasy show about battling demons and vampires

Fixed.

I just finished the first installment(No Spoilers)

I just finished watching it and I've gotta' say, extremely well written. The whole cast turns out to be fantastic singers, which is a hilarious change of pace for those of you who know Nathan Fillion from Firefly. You'll love his "A Man's Gotta' Do! Next installments are on Thursday and Saturday. I'll be watchin' at midnight!

A fix for us foreigners

Other awesome Joss' works

[YA_Python_dev]

Don't forget to also check out the others Joss' current works:

• Dollhouse, a TV series that will start on January 2009 (but there will be pirated episodes on TPB probably much sooner); enjoy the trailer and an interview;
• the BtVS season 8; I'm not a comic book person, but this is incredibly awesome! Guess who Buffy is sleeping with now? ;-)

Available outside the US now as well

It can be watched from outside the US now as well: http://doctorhorrible.net/now-available-outisde-usa/105/

The free world saves the day again (or something).

Re:Only in the US

[jamie]

Since it's hosted by Hulu, they won't stream to a computer outside the U.S

Looks like it's fixed now. The homepage reads:

All those outside the USA who have been eagerly awaiting Doctor Horrible's Act 1 should now be able to view it via the Official Web Site. If it doesn't load, try clearing your browser cache and doing a forced refresh of the page (Hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the F5 key).

Couldn't let this "informative" comment get by with such an inaccuracy.

Drive was actually by Tim Minear, the executive producer of Firefly. Who also keeps getting shows canceled by Fox. (I really wanted to see what happened in that race.)
