Whedon Promises More “Dr. Horrible”

Last month, we reported that actor Neil Patrick Harris was eager to reprise his role for a sequel to last year’s “Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.”

And while that was good news, today we have great news.  Joss Whedon, the creator of the popular web-based series, wants to continue the story as well.

“It is my intention that we will see more of young Billy and his horrible schemes, and I have a very specific idea of what that’s going to be, but until I’m sure how I can roll it out, I will say nothing except that I’m definitely pursuing that,” Whedon promised SciFi Wire.

“I mean, there are two things that happened. There was ‘Dr. Horrible itself, and there was the Internet sort of event, and I’m pursuing both of those kind of separately, in the sen’se that I want to tell a ‘Dr. Horrible’ story, but I also want to continue trying new things on the Internet,” Whedon added. “And it might not be ‘Dr. Horrible’, just because I want to keep it fresh. I don’t want to just do the same thing because I did it successfully once. So … it feels like two very exciting avenues have been opened up by that experience.” 

I’m excited about pursuing that story and that world, I love the fact that, you know, you can make something and just put it up without, you know, without having to reshoot the whole thing. Tra la!” Whedon added, taking a stab at the stories about his upcoming series “Dollhouse” on Fox.
