On her Blog today, Felicia Day links to an in-depth podcast interview she did for “How I WoW”. In it she talks about how Joss came to write Doctor Horrible during the strike. He had seen “The Guild” and he rang her up and asked if she could sing.
Felicia also says she has seen the rough cut (without special effects) and it looks brilliant. She doesn’t know when it’s going to be released but it will be before ComicCon (July) possibly as early as the end of May. Felicia also says she’ll be attending ComicCon with “The Guild”.
It’s an interesting and fun podcast (total length 1hr 15min), with the Doctor Horrible reference one hour in.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Neil Patrick Harris shares how he became involved with Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
He called me. I was in New York, and he called me to ask if I wanted to work with him on — and I just said yes. Joss, Jed and Zach. And Maurissa! Jed’s girlfriend! The four of them, they wrote these songs. Joss described it best: a low-rent supervillain. And his aspirations to become more powerful in the supervillain hierarchy. And there’s nine songs in it! They’re going to air it on the Internet!
…I peruse the Internet with great frequency. I think the Internet short, the Internet movie, is turning a corner. They are seeing they can make it more clever than just five or six friends with a camera putting it on YouTube.
Maybe the strike was responsible for that. I’m a huge Joss fan! And have been dying, literally dying to work with him.

Sci Fi Scanner has nominated Doctorhorrible.net as the site of the week in a recent blog.
Though there’s been little news about the web series, we do know that it will be 10, three-minute-long episodes, and stars Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), and Felicia Day (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). In fact, it was the last who made the website “official.”
“At one point Felicia Day referred to doctorhorrible.net as the ‘official’ fan site in her blog, and later that same day, one of the [series'] writers said to me, ‘You are officially the official fan site,’” said the site’s administrator. “That was enough confirmation for me.”
There’s no set release date for Whedon’s musical web series yet. But as the time for it’s arrival draws near, and whenever there is news, DoctorHorrible.net will be there. “I have a couple of people helping to keep up with the buzz and contributing to the site’s content,” said the owner. “We’d also like to think that there will end up being more than just three 10-minute episodes, or another new series to follow, so who knows what the possibilities are.”
