More Dr Horrible Announced at Comic Con

There have been a number of Twitters and other reports live from Comic Con saying (apparently) that Jed Whedon says there will indeed be more Dr Horrible.

It has also been reported that the soundtrack will be available for download in a couple of weeks and that one of the special features on the DVD will be the top 10 video applications received by people wishing to join the “Evil League of Evil”.

We’ll try to verify this info for you as soon as possible.

Some reports:

Joss Whedon just confirmed here on his Comic-Con panel that he plans to do at least another episode of Dr. Horrible. His relevant quotes after the jump; more details once the panel wraps.

A questioner asks, “What would a Part Four of Dr. Horrible be like?”

Joss sort of takes a deep breath. “The idea is that there will be another part –

(interrupted by huge cheers)

–so we’re not gonna tell you about it yet.”
He goes on to talk about why he’s excited to continue the webseries:

“I’m older, and balder/wiser than when I made Firefly, and I approach things differently. I take it one episode at a time. And any episode we don’t get out…I can make stuff on the internet now!” Cheers.

“Besides the fact that we all had an enormous amount of fun, this was designed to be a model for a new way to put out media, an artistic community that involves all of you guys, and all of us, and maybe not so much… other people.”

“I’m not trying to bring down the studios, I do still work there, as we all do, and I’m grateful for it…but things are changing, and its really important that as things change, they change for the better, and Dr. Horrible is about that, its about putting power in differnet hands — THE WRONG HANDS.”

And there will be a conrest. “We will take video submissions for the Evil League of Evil. No longer than 3 minutes, like you’re applying for Survivor or something, We’ll put the 10 best videos on the DVD. We’ve got a couple of things to do first, like the soundtrack…”

Joss: “Soundtrack should be available for download within a couple of weeks.”

    I’m really psyched about hearing about this, however how would they pull it off? I mean, the third act pretty much ended the story, so what could they do with a fourth one?

    Anyway, I’m giddy about hearing this. Hope it’s true.

    Just read that again, we can download the soundtrack? Will this mean that there’s no hard copies going? If this is only on itunes I’ll be gutted.

    I’m sure (though can’t speak for them obviously) that there’ll be an actual CD of the soundtrack available, though I’m guessing it may take longer to produce - or maybe it would even be bundled with the DVD? That might make sense for them… again, not speaking for them, just my own thoughts

    A part 4 might be nice, but I just hope that it will be available in Germany soon. I can’t but it via iTunes here and I fear that the DVD will not be available either

    I don’t use iTunes, but if they’ll offer the soundtrack for direct download and/or on CD, I will happily give them my money.

    You know so many possibilities for an Act 4.

    Did Penny really die? Maybe Dr. Horrible put her under suspended animation with his freeze ray or has some reanimation gun. And if she comes back will she become a villain?

    What happens to Captain Hammer? Does he go psychotic or does he become back to his hero self and stops Dr. Horrible?

    Now that we’ve seen Bad Horse is really a Horse, what other evil deeds will it make Dr. Horrible do? And what about some of the other gang members?

    You know, the story is really just the beginning of a really awesome series. I hope for even more than 4 acts.

    I know I’m curious, especially because of the final shot in the final number. I hope they elaborate on that.
