Whedon’s Doctor Horrible Air Dates

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Creator Joss Whedon has announced the “air” dates for Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. The episodes will air on the official website drhorrible.com as follows:

  • Part 1 - Tuesday July 15
  • Part 2 - Thursday July 17
  • Part 3 - Saturday July 19

These episodes will “air” online only until July 20.

Following that they will be made available for download at a “nominal fee” and in the near future available to buy on a very special DVD “with the finest and bravest extras in all the land”.

Now it’s time to spread the word far and wide to all the corners of the interweb. Grab some banners from the official site and post them everywhere you go - and be sure to cover those places people wouldn’t normally hear about this.

This is your chance to play a part in changing the face of the entertainment industry forever.

Joss Whedon: “[Do] What you always do, peeps! What you’re already doing. Spread the word. Rock some banners, widgets, diggs… let people know who wouldn’t ordinarily know. It wouldn’t hurt if this really was an event. Good for the business, good for the community – communitIES: Hollywood, internet, artists around the world, comic-book fans, musical fans (and even the rather vocal community of people who hate both but will still dig on this). Proving we can turn Dr Horrible into a viable economic proposition as well as an awesome goof will only inspire more people to lay themselves out in the same way. It’s time for the dissemination of the artistic process. Create more for less. You are the ones that can make that happen.”

What extras do you want on new Firefly release?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Earlier this year we posted about the new Firefly box-set release that was coming  out soon (mentioned by Jewel Staite while in Australia).  This new release will be blu-ray and the “powers that be” are interested in what fans would like to see on the new release.  Some ideas that people have presented include commentaries, cast & crew interviews, deleted scenes and outtakes.

What would YOU like to see on a new release of Firefly?

Another important question I think needs considering is how long do fans settle for re-releases of the same products?  While I believe this is the first time Firefly has been released since the original, we all know that there are multiple versions of Serenity available.  Will fans rushing out to buy this new release make Fox think all they need to do to keep making money from Firefly fans is re-release the same product and that there’s no need for them to consider extending the series in some way?

Please feel free to submit your comments on both issues here.

Nathan Fillion on Serenity’s future

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

TruckerMovie.net: We know that there’s nothing on the horizon right now but it seems to be becoming a trend for Serenity actors visiting Australia (Alan Tudyk & Jewel Staite) to tell fans that it’s not yet time to give up on another movie, but with most of the cast being very busy in your careers right now, in your opinion, is there still any reason for fans to hope or do you think that time has passed?

Nathan Fillion: Firefly was an incredible lesson for me. I really fell in love with that show and the people I was working with and the story we were telling and the character I was playing. I fell in love and when it was taken away my hopes were dashed, I was crushed entirely. I though, I was disillusioned. I was angry, I was so angry and then the fans, the fans came through and then Joss made this thing happen and then this perfect storm of positivity that the wonderful people over at Universal, taking it upon themselves to say “yeah, there’s a story to be told here and lets do it” so I’ll never give up hope. When people say “is there gonna be another Serenity” not so far as I know, I mean when there will be you’ll know. People come to me when I’m signing their autograph “Is there going to be another Serenity”, this isn’t where you’re going to find out, this isn’t going to be the arena. But I’ll never say never, I can say not right now, not that I know of, nobody’s said anything to me, I could tell you that. That’s the truth, not right now, nothing right now, that’s the fact, but never say never, I’ve learned that because there’s Serenity of course.

Confirmation of New Firefly Release

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

[Jewel] Staite revealed that she had recently been asked to provide new commentary for what she called “a special edition of Firefly in a box set”. Many of you were very excited, but some fans immediately questioned this, wondering if the Australia location of Staite’s revelation meant that perhaps this release is planned for “down under”, instead of the United States.Our own Gord Lacey contacted Fox Home Entertainment about Staite’s comments, and asked them if this release - if actually coming - would be on DVD or Blu-ray Disc. Fox replied that it is indeed coming, for Blu-ray Disc format!

The response we received from Fox was very brief, but also commented that “word travels fast”. As you can imagine by how recently Staite indicates she was contacted (she had “just heard”, as you may recall), this package is still in the planning and development stages. Therefore, a release timeframe hasn’t been set yet, and many details have not been finalized. Stay tuned, though, because we’ll be keeping a close eye on this, and will update you as further info comes in.
