Joss Whedon's New Musical

started shooting today.

Whedon stated "During the strike I started writing a musical intended as a limited internet series, three episodes of approximately 10 minutes each." ...

Whedon described the musical as "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."

"Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" stars Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion ("Firefly," Serenity") as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") as Penny, "And a cast of Dozens!" Whedon concluded.

(If you're wondering who Felicia Day played on Buffy, the answer is: Vi, probably the least annoying of the Potential Slayers featured in the show's final season... She survived the finale, but has been very low-profile in the Season 8 comics ... if she's appeared at all.)
