Dr. Horrible! Nathan Fillion and Joss Whedon together again

Good news Browncoats! Rumours have abounded for some time now about a top secret project involving Nathan Fillion (Captain Mal, “Firefly” and Caleb, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and Joss Whedon (creator of Firefly and Buffy). Last night, the man himself confirmed the rumours and released details on the project in a post on his awesome fansite, Whedonesque.com:

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.

Yes, the AWESOME Neil Patrick Harris is also starring in this little endeavour It’s going to be… Legend…. wait for it… Dary!

Fans of Buffy will also recognize Felicia Day who played Vi, one of the potentials, and who has since gone on to appear in “Monk” and “The Guild.”

This is going to be cool! I love the title. I love the premise. I love that it’s a musical (Joss impressed the ever-loving hell out of me with the Buffy Musical.) I can’t wait to see this!

Will post premiere dates as soon as they’re announced
