Dr. Horrible to air on CW
Joss Whedon’s acclaimed Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, will make its television debut on Tuesday, October 9 at 9pm on The CW.
Created as a three-part online musical in July 2008 (total running time : 42 minutes), it stars Neil Patrick Harris as Billy, aka Dr. Horrible, a budding super villain whose plans for world domination continually go awry. His 2 goals : getting accepted into the Evil League of Evil, and working up the guts to speak to his laundromat crush Penny (Felicia Day). The only thing standing in his way is his superhero arch nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). With one big score, Billy could get into the ELE and earn the respect of Penny, but only if he can keep her away from the dashing Hammer.
Directed by Joss Whedon, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was written by Maurissa Tancharden, Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon & Joss Whedon with music by Jed Whedon & Joss Whedon.
