VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works


While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.

In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

If you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, you can watch the original version after the jump.

Knot Website Created for Grey’s Anatomy Wedding

Grey's Anatomy's Meredith and Derek

Despite her recent collapse onto the hospital room floor, Meredith Grey’s wedding organizer has found some time to get work done online. Like many of the betrothed couples out there, Mer and Der now have a site devoted to their nuptials on The Knot.

“I know, I know. I secretly never thought it would happen either. But it’s real. There’s a ring (I’ve seen it, though I’m pretty sure Mer still isn’t wearing it.) There are dresses (a lot of dresses, actually. I’ve called every bridal shop in town. Mer put me in charge, I think cause she feels bad that I’m all cancery or something – but who cares. I get to plan the wedding. LOVING IT!) There’s a bride (who will look glorious DESPITE her dreary, dark cloud of wedding hatred) and there’s a groom (who, thank goodness, won’t be sporting his Grizzly Adams beard to the ceremony!),” Izzie Stevens writes on the intro page.

Gossip Girl Won’t Go to the Web

Gossip Girl

Fans beware.  If you want to get your fix, you better plan ahead.  In hopes of creating more buzz for its popular freshman show, CW is going to make the drama’s five remaining episodes less available to the public.

Although the show has generated strong word of mouth during its debut season, network execs are still concerned about the cult hit’s bottom line.  Yes - people are watching…but it’s how they’re watching that really matters.  While streamlined videos allow Johnny-come-latelys to get caught up, that service detracts from the program’s daily numbers.
