Despite being super busy with writing for the new TV series Dollhouse, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog writer (and Captain Hammer Groupie #1) Maurissa Tancharoen took a few minutes out to respond to some questions - thanks Maurissa!

By all accounts Comic Con was a big success for Dr Horrible, were you all happy with the response?

MT: We were overf’injoyed. The general response to Dr. Horrible has exceeded our wildest expectations. And then the packed panel and screening(s) full of Horrible love?! We all felt like rockstars. Except for Joss. He felt like a giddy schoolgirl. With a brand new pair of knee-high socks.

You got your wish and some people went along dressed as Dr Horrible & Captain Hammer – that must have been great to see?

MT: I believe we have pictures of these AWESOME people on our myspace and facebook pages.

It was mentioned by Jed during the Q&A session that you weren’t going to discuss “what may have happened if there’d been an Act 4″ because there WILL be more. Is this just hopeful thinking or is something definitely going ahead?

MT: Jed was drunk with power and just wanted to hear the crowd cheer. But hopeful thinking led to Dr. Horrible in the first place. So there you go. There is no timeline, but yes, oh yes, there will be more.

Jed also said the soundtrack would be available to download on iTunes in the next couple of weeks, will there be an actual CD release too?

MT: Look at that Jed, put him in front of thousands of people and just blah blah blah.

I will soon be reprimanded for that sentence because at this very moment, as I type this, he is slaving away in the next room mixing and mastering. Because I told him to. Yes, check your iTunes for the soundtrack sooner than later.

How far away is the DVD release?

MT: Stocking stuffer?

You can watch Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog online once again for free via Hulu. This IS still available to those who are outside the USA.

… Point being, HULU hosted Dr. Horrible for free for a week, which we, the mushortio-makers, are forever grateful for, and now you can stream it for free on their site. How awesome is that? I know, you’re humbled. Stop groveling. Just remember: the more you watch it, the more you will understand about life and the universe and hydroponics. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry…. and you just might learn long division. With songs! PLEASE watch it. We’re so lonely… –Joss Whedon

There’s been some information floating around the internet that Dr Horrible will be pulled from iTunes on the 29th of July however we are assured that this is not correct.

In addition to remaining in the US & Canadian iTunes stores, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will be available in iTunes stores in other countries soon.

Work is continuing on a CD of the soundtrack and the DVD release of Dr Horrible will also be available internationally. According to Joss Whedon in a recent Q&A at WashingtonPost.com it will be released as “soon as we can” and will definitely be available before Christmas.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest news.
