Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in perfect form with this, his new internet project, a by-product of the recent writer’s strike.
Dr. Horrible is a super-villain, bent on ruling the world and getting up the nerve to speak to the girl at the laundromat. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Doogie Howser) plays Horrible brilliantly. Dr. Horrible dreams of getting into the Evil League of Evil and the only thing standing in his way is his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion of Firefly). Oh! Did I mention it’s a musical? I’ve seen the first two episodes of this trilogy and I love it! Doogie can really sing!
This hilarious musical parody of comic book heroes can be viewed through July 20th only on drhorrible.com and it can be downloaded for a fee at i-Tunes. Don’t waste another minute – go see it now!
UPDATE: There are plans for a possible DVD release in the future with loads of extras, including a musical commentary. Read more about the DVD and how the project came to be here.
