Rumor: Nathan Fillion in the Avengers Movie?!

by Susana Polo | 11:33 am, May 15th

In an article discussing the casting of Kevin Pennington as someone in the Avengers movie, Marvelous News‘ “insider source” had this to say about what characters Pennington couldn’t be:

Nathan Fillion is pretty much locked to be Henry Pym, and should be announced before any other new additions to the cast (think around Comic Con).

Hubba-WAH?! Why isn’t this the headline? Well, consider it fixed. Nathan Fillion might be in the Avengers movie that Joss Whedon is in negotiations to write and direct.

It doesn’t happen too often that we want to go off to the corner and make fangirl noises, but this is one of those times.

by Kwame Opam | 4:31 pm, April 6th

Have you ever wondered what Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog might look like on the NES? Well, at least one person has, and he made it himself. Doctor Octoroc, a digital artist and musician, has recently pretty much appropriated the entire first act of the Joss Whedon viral masterpiece into 8-bit RPG style reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda.

AND LET IT BE KNOWN

Dr. Horrible Sequel May Be Horrible … We Mean, a Feature Film

by Susana Polo | 4:18 pm, March 19th

MTV‘s Splashpage blog has an exclusive clip of Neil Patrick Harris talking about the putative sequel to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. According to Harris, not only is pretty much everyone involved in the first movie interested in doing a sequel, it will also be a feature film.

“That’s their plan,” he reiterated when asked whether a feature-film was indeed the preferred format for the sequel. “I don’t know of what scale. They’re talking all options, because they made the first ‘Dr. Horrible’ in five days on no budget at all — that was its intention.

“You don’t want to necessarily make the feature film be an $80 million giant movie, because it defeats the purpose of what the first film was made to be,” he explained. “Then again, you don’t want it to be so low-brow that it’s not worth paying money to see as a movie.”
