TCA Update - Whedon is Horribly Excited

Also hanging at the Fox party at Santa Monica Pier was Whedon, who was excited and nervous about his web series "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." (If he had known what was going to happen we're sure he would've been thrilled. From a demand standpoint, that is).

"Act One went live about a half hour ago," he said. "Act Two comes up in two days, Act Three comes up on Saturday and it's up for a week. And then we yank it and then we hope to sell it through downloads, ad-supported streaming, and DVDs and make a profit if we can. But the real idea was 'we're going to make a superhero musical 'cause there should oughta be more of those!' Apparently, the only studio willing to back one was the studio of me."

After the web launch Whedon hopes to make enough money to pay the crew and actors, who all worked for free.

In other Dr. Horrible news, DH himself was nominated for an Emmy today.

Check out this extensive L.A. Times piece for DH's origin story.
