Ever since Joss Whedon launched the hugely popular web based Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog fans have clamored for more. The Buffy and Firefly creator made the show as a way to prove Internet programming could be done and done well; also that whole writer’s strike situation kept him and his compadres from doing their normal work.

Since then Whedon and others involved in Dr. Horrible have hinted that a follow-up is on the way. The problem is that most, especially Joss, are over booked with important things and stuff. There’s that tent pole Avengers film, and the recently wrapped secret Much Ado About Nothing that Whedon has been busy with. Neil Patrick Harris has a little CBS sitcom to contend with, and Nathan Fillion has finally found the success he deserves on Castle.

But now we’re getting word that some work, albeit just a wee bit, has been done on a Horrible sequel. We have no idea what a follow-up to the brilliant web series could be, but here’s to hoping at some point the Doctor rides Bad Horse.

In an interview with Yahoo Whedon says:

“We have been working on that for a while. It’s been hard, because we all have jobs, and some of them are extremely taxing. But we have had a vision of the thing for a while, we have been working on it, we have a bunch of songs and a few scenes. We need a little free time and right now that’s plenty hard to come by.”

Neil Patrick Harris says a movie version of Joss Whedon’s popular web series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog may be on the way. In it, he played the titular Dr. Horrible, a sympathetic mad scientist who tries to get the girl only to have everything go horribly wrong when his plans are interrupted by a egotistical superhero.

Talking up the possibility of a Dr. Horrible movie to MTV Harris says: “Apparently they’re making a ‘Dr. Horrible’ sequel — a feature film, I hope… 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… Then again, you don’t want it to be so low-brow that it’s not worth paying money to see as a movie.”

Dollhouse may have been cancelled, but that doesn’t mean Joss Whedon is out of ideas for series’ star Eliza Dushku. They’re getting back together for a movie.

Duhsku tells Hollywoodlife that they’re plotting an unspecified feature film together, somewhere down the road.

Dushku says:

I would say that we would [be working on something new very soon]! I think we’re going to work on a kickass feature together that we’ve been thinking about for a few years.

We’ve all seen this coming for awhile. Ratings have been sinking and even the interest of hardcore fans has begun to wane. The writing was on the wall and yep, Joss Whedon’s sci-fi TV series Dollhouse has been cancelled by Fox.

THR says the eleventh episode of the show’s thirteen episode season and Fox has committed to airing all of the thirteen episodes planned. So there’s still more Dollhouse to come on television, but once it’s over, it’s over.

Series creator Joss Whedon reacted to the news on the fan site Whedoneseque saying:
