If you have seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog then you should be excited to hear that Joss Whedon and Jed Whedon are thinking about making a sequel to the cult webseries as a feature film! I really enjoyed the web series and thought it was great. Everyone involved did a fantastic job and seeing a sequel come to life would be pretty darn great. Whedon recently told Sci Fi Wire:
“we’ve talked about doing an actual studio film. The story we’ve talked about is pretty big, so it may end up being longer.”
Longer than the web series. A common concern for doing this as a studio film is that the studio will try and change things, thus screwing it up. But, Whedon puts those fears to rest when he says:
Well, we don’t want to be beholden to anybody. We want to do the product the same way we did the first one, which is out of our hearts, and then go to people [and say], ‘OK, if you’re interested in this, this is what it is.’ Besides, it could be something theatrical. It could be something on the Internet again, where it’s done on the fly and it all comes from us. We don’t know how we want that to be. The best thing to do is to write it. Then we can start deciding a business model based on the script.
Sounds good to me! Whatever they decide to do with it as long as they do it is cool with me. Would you be excited to see a sequel to this movie?
There is also a pretty big spoiler beneath the videos.
And just in case you missed it here is the series below.

They could end up bringing back Felicia Day’s as Penny for a sequel.co-writer Maurissa Ancharoen explains:
“Penny is definitely dead, but there are ways.”

I am all about a sequel to this.
I would adore a sequel! I just hope that it doesn’t turn out the way the original Buffy movie did. Almost any Whedon project that went to the big screen ended up sucking, with the obvious exception of the BDM (Serenity, for those of you who aren’t Browncoats).
The thought a sequel makes my heart go all a-flutter…
Yayage!
But… I’ve got but-face. What’s that about a big studio? I believe Dr. Horrible needs to look consistently cheap – its DIY budget played no small part in its attraction to me!
How can this be anything but great news! Dr. Horrible can probably survive a big budget production, but there’s only one way to be sure.
I’m the type of Whedon fan girl that watched this when it went live to the web, brought it on iTunes and then pre-ordered my DVD, waiting patiently while it was delivered to me here in Australia.
The idea of a sequel is something i’ve heard rumors about before and i tells you, if they do continue the story of everyone’s favorite villain Captain Hammer… er.. i mean Dr. Horrible, i will be there with my Joss Whedon Pom Poms and fangirl colours flying proudly.
They'd better get working on this!!!! I'm impatiently waiting!!! hahaha
