Felicia Day, who plays Penny in Joss Whedon’s upcoming web series “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”, was recently part of an interview with author Patrick Rothfuss. In the interview, she discusses Dr. Horrible.
You recently got to work with Joss Whedon on “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” What can you tell us about that?
I can tell you that it’s going to be make a lot of people want to sing after hearing the music. Joss and his brothers Zack and Jed and Jed’s fiance Maurissa wrote the show together to go on the internet in three parts. Joss had seen The Guild and had been percolating the idea of an internet musical for a while, and he said that watching the Guild was a part of the inspiration to get it done; that and the strike.
Hold on. You inspired Joss Whedon?
He said it was a PART of what spurred the work on Dr. Horrible. Don’t make it seem like I’m claiming too much credit for it!! I worked with him on Buffy a few years ago and was crazy lucky enough for him to hire me for the part of Penny. I can’t tell you what a fabulous experience it was working on it, the script and songs are fantastic! For someone in Joss’ position to do something this experimental is great because not only is it going to be a huge success, it’s going to make people look at internet content in a new way. I can’t wait for it to be released!
Do you have a date for that?
I believe he said it will be released on the internet before Comicon.
I’ve said before, I really like what I’ve seen and read from Felicia. This article only solidifies my opinion. I think I’m more excited about “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” than I am “Dollhouse”. From her quote, we can probably expect Horrible to debut sometime in July. I can’t wait.
