So we've already heard the news that Joss Whedon, the man responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is hitting television again this Fall with Dollhouse, a Fox series starring Eliza Dushku. That's all well and good. But what if I told you there was another Whedon project in the works, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion? And what if I told you they'd be singing?
Well, that nutty news is totally true. The project is a three-part Web musical called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and Whedon described its plot like this: "It's the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he's too shy to talk to." NPH plays Dr. Horrible, Fillion is Captain Hammer, and Felicia Day (Buffy's Vi) plays the cute girl in question, Penny.
Did I mention they sing?
The project, which will be about 30 minutes long in all, was co-written by two of Whedon's brothers and one soon-to-be sister-in-law and started shooting this past weekend. There's no word yet on when it might actually hit the web, but I'll be keeping an eye out — this one's just too crazy to ignore.

I can't say I'm excited about Eliza Dushku in any way, though She bugs me. :/
1Oh my gosh! Awesomeness!
2You've just made my day (or possibly month)! Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion AND NPH...all working on the same thing? And it's a muscial?
I can die happy now.
3If anyone else was heading up this project, I'd be rolling my eyes. But Joss can TOTALLY do this. I mean, the Buffy musical was brilliant!
And I heart Nathan Fillion, even if my boyfriend calls him the poor man's Jason Bateman.
4I like Eliza!
Few people creep me out as much as NPH does.
That guy on the right is from Waitress! I didnt like him in that.
5Oh my god! I love everyone involved in this!
6I hate musicals, but I love Neil Patrick Harris, so I might watch it.
7I love Nathan Fillion. He is the entire reason that the Firefly series worked. And NPH could not be more legendary. This is awesome.
8I'm sure it will be great.
9I love Nathan Fillion. Always have. My love grew recently when a coworker loaned me Firefly (already loved Serenity, I did things backwards). And in Waitress he is hilarious. I'm really looking forward to this!
10It'll be LENGEND... wait for it...... DARY! I'm such a NPH fan.
11wait, who the eff is "buffy's vi"???
buffy fanatics, help me out!
12yay!
