Zack Whedon - "Dr. Horrible 2" Web Series - Mtv.com Interview

Webmaster — 2009-11-12T13:24:13Z

Now that "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is a bona fide award-winner with a sequel on the way, everyone wants to know what's next for Dr. Horrible, Captain Hammer and the rest of the gang.

I recently spoke to "Dr. Horrible" co-writer Zack Whedon, who scripted the inline musical along with brothers Joss and Jed and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen, and along with giving Splash Page readers an exclusive preview of the "Dr. Horrible" comic he's writing for Dark Horse, he also offered up an update on the musical's much-anticipated sequel.

"We've been planning it pretty much from the minute we finished the first one," said Whedon of the sequel, which Nathan Fillion recently revealed has both a title and a few songs written already.

As for when they'll really get down to work on it, Whedon said work is underway—but he expects things to start moving along more once shooting is finished on Joss Whedon's television series, "Dollhouse."

"They finish up 'Dollhouse' in the winter—at least what they've scheduled to shoot thus far—so hopefully when that's done, we'll all be able to get together more frequently and grind it out," he explained. "There are a couple of songs written. It's very promising. We're all very excited about where it goes."

While he couldn't reveal many details about where the sequel will take the cast—or exactly which members of the cast will be returning—he did say that Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer would, of course, be back in action.

"Yeah, you have to see them in the sequel," he laughed. "We will expand the world a little bit into other areas you have not seen... and it will be hilarious."

"We're doing it for fun and for ourselves and for the fans," he added. "So doing a sequel is really a no-brainer."

Fox to open online studio inspired by Joss Whedon and "Dr Horrible" Web Series

Webmaster — 2009-11-07T19:14:07Z

Fox Digital Studios puts focus on brands

Using Director Joss Whedon as inspiration, News Corp. rebrands unit to incorporate more advertising into entertainment content.

The Microsoft-sponsored Family Guy special isn't the only major piece of branded entertainment you'll see from News Corp. in the coming months. Fox Atomic, News Corp.'s recently shuttered 2-year-old genre studio, is being rebranded to become Fox Digital Studios, a new unit that will focus heavily on branded programming.

David Worthen Brooks, a former senior vice president at Fox Atomic, will act as creative director of the digital studio, tapping Roger Mincheff, former founder-chief executive of digital marketing agency Spacedog Media, as its new senior VP branded entertainment of digital content. Both will report to Peter Levinsohn, president of new media and digital distribution for Fox Filmed Entertainment.

Mr. Mincheff is a bit of an unorthodox hire for Fox, having worked primarily on graphic novels in his 11 years heading Spacedog Media, where he integrated brands like Mazda, Universal Music, Qantas Airways, Boost Mobile and Harley-Davidson into storylines and other entertainment content. But Mr. Levinsohn saw it as a fairly seamless transition from comic books to online video.

"What we're all talking about he's already done," Mr. Levinsohn told Ad Age. "He's figured out how to get branded advertisers into a story, and there's really no difference whether it's graphic novels vs. video content."

Mr. Mincheff said his use of brands in content has always been to enhance a story's credibility. "If you're going to tell a hip-hop story, extreme sports story, a basketball story, you can't do it without brands, because brands are such a part of that world and makes it more authentic. At Spacedog, we did these incredibly relatable, human stories, and for the first time ever in comic books we saw brands do big brand integration as well. So to be able to work with Fox in completely out-of-the-box ways is pretty awesome."

Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson's director-advertising, promotions and entertainment, who worked with Spacedog on integrating Harley into the graphic novel Johnny Delgado Is Dead, added, "In the days of old, the person who got stuck to the branded-entertainment division was one of the marketing folks from the film studio. This is a guy who came from the comic-book and interactive background and made his way to one of the hottest, coolest networks to be the bridge between advertisers and content."

Fox is the latest broadcast network to put dedicated resources behind digital content, following similar moves from NBC, which has a similar division spearheaded by Microsoft vet Cameron Death, and ABC, which got into the digital content arena last year with the Toyota-sponsored Squeegees. NBC has been the most aggressive of the bunch thus far, shopping around a dedicated programming slate for NBC.com to advertisers in this year's upfront and recently launching CTRL, a Web series sponsored by Nestea starring Tony Hale of Arrested Development.

But despite early investment from advertisers and the attraction of brand-name actors, no TV network has yet to truly crack the code of how to develop original programming that works as well online as it does on the boob tube. And whenever they put successful Web series on TV — NBC's acquisition of MySpace's QuarterLife, ABC's redo of MSN's In The Motherhood — they fail within weeks.

Mr. Levinsohn declined to reveal any projects currently in development, but expects Fox Digital Studios to start shopping a production reel to advertisers by end of the fourth quarter. He thinks Fox has a solution to broadcast's online programming problem by targeting the diverse audiences across News Corp.'s digital portfolio, which includes everything from MySpace and Fox.com to its 33% stake in Hulu.

"We have a very active music consumer within MySpace Music, so it's not inconceivable that we would look to create a piece of content that resonates with a music audience that would be broadened for ubiquity across the web," Mr. Levinsohn said. "We would try to leverage the audience we have with gamers or sports fans on other sports fans on other properties in the same way. What's unique here is we're storytellers, and we can create content for any genre — there are brands that make sense for any genre, too."

As an aspirational model, Mr. Levinsohn pointed to Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, an independently produced musical web series that starred Neil Patrick Harris and found a site-crashing cult following of more than 1 million views in its first few weeks on the web. "They had a very well-respected director, producer and writer in Joss Whedon, really talented people involved in the project and an interesting combination of ad-supported, transactional and physical all rolled up into one distribution life cycle."

Nathan Fillion - "Dr. Horrible 2" Web Series - There are plans !

Webmaster — 2009-11-03T11:10:32Z

Joss Whedon's online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" not only broke new ground for Internet media, it also landed an Emmy in the short-format, live-action category of the annual awards. So, it was probably no surprise that the series already had a sequel in the works long before all the award talk began. Back in August, we got the scoop from Whedon himself—and now we have an update from one the project's stars, "Castle" and "Firefly" star Nathan Fillion.

"There are plans," Fillion told MTV News. "The media for the sequel has not yet been decided, but there is a title."

While Fillion couldn't spill on the proposed title for the "Dr. Horrible" sequel, he did say that Whedon and the rest of the "Dr. Horrible" creative team—Joss' brothers Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen—already have a few of the songs written.

"Joss, I was talking to him right before we won the Emmy," said Fillion. "He said that he's finished writing a song or two. He told me a couple of verses to the song."

"It's going to be great," he said. "I know a bunch of cast members of Dr. Horrible who would love to get back into it."
