Now that Dollhouse has been (sadly) cancelled, Joss Whedon now undoubedly has time to focus on his highly successful Internet-series project, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. New comments have surfaced concerning the anticipated sequel. MTV News has the scoop…
Joss’ brother Zack Whedon: “We’ve been planning it pretty much from the minute we finished the first one.” “They finish up ‘Dollhouse’ in the winter—at least what they’ve scheduled to shoot thus far—so hopefully when that’s done, we’ll all be able to get together more frequently and grind it out,” he explained. “There are a couple of songs written. It’s very promising. We’re all very excited about where it goes.” “Yeah, you have to see them [Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer] in the sequel. We will expand the world a little bit into other areas you have not seen… and it will be hilarious.” He concludes, “We’re doing it for fun and for ourselves and for the fans. So doing a sequel is really a no-brainer.”
Star Nathan Fillion (Captain Hammer): “There are plans.” “The media for the sequel has not yet been decided, but there is a title.” “Joss, I was talking to him right before we won the Emmy. He said that he’s finished writing a song or two. He told me a couple of verses to the song.” “It’s going to be great. I know a bunch of cast members of Dr. Horrible who would love to get back into it.”
So, a SEQUEL is coming…a TITLE has been selected…and some SONGS have been written. Still no word on “dead” Penny (Felicia Day). I’m sure some way or another the Brothers Whedon will figure a way to get her back. Can’t wait.
