TV Guide feature Doctor Horrible in their “Breaking News” feature with an exclusive “First Look at Joss Whedon’s “Dr. Horrible”. They have this to say:
If there’s any justice, Dr. Horrible will eventually make a bundle. Far from horrible, it’s terrific.
TV Guide were given a sneak peak at the musical and they discuss the plot (contains spoilers), how Doctor Horrible came to be and the cast…
Many relationships, personal and professional, came into play in making Dr. Horrible. His [Joss Whedon's] brothers Jed and Zack helped him write it, along with Jed’s fiance Maurissa Tancharoen. Jed appears as part of a recurring Evil League of Evil chorus and Tancharoen can be seen as one of Captain Hammer’s fawning groupies. Whedon cohorts Marti Noxon and David Fury, who both did cameos in “Once More With Feeling,” return as snarky newscasters. And then of course there’s Fillion, a part of Whedon’s repertory company since Buffy and Firefly. “I’d heard him sing, but I just knew that even if he couldn’t, he could sell it. He’s Nathan, and he was great.”
As for casting Neil Patrick Harris, all it took was a phone call. “We all agreed there was really nobody else that should play Dr. Horrible. I didn’t even get the sentence out before he said yes. And then I sort of got defensive (Whedon lapses into fanboy-speak): ‘No no no, it’s really going to be good,’ and Neil’s like, ‘I said yes.’ And I said, ‘No no no, I mean, but I mean the point is, is mean I mean’ … I couldn’t handle it.”
