Doctor, Doctor, Tell Me the News!

Act I of Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is up! Huzzah!

This is Joss Whedon’s triffically goofy Evil Villain Protagonist (Neil Patrick Harris) Video Blogging with Music and Evil Scientist Shenanigans Except When the Heroic Antagonist (Nathan Fillian) Gets in His Way Thing. Act II goes up on the 17th, Act III on the 19th, and it all goes away after the 20th, to turn into a DVD.

So far, seriously (or hilariously, or Whedonesquely) looking like something I’ll eventually spend money on, while enjoying it for free first.

UPDATE: Joss’ cunning plan!

And … yeah … very Joss.

Though it makes my stomach twist to see Nathan Fillion identified for his role in … “Desperate Housewives.”

And perhaps there will be more:

With a revenue sharing agreement with iTunes for all three and business opportunities opening up, Whedon is now considering further webisodes, as well as Broadway and film.

“We love the characters. We’ve done some cool things, and we think there’s more to do with them,” says Tancharoen.
