Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog review

Posted on by

I was re-watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog today when I suddenly realized that I had never reviewed it. Conceived and filmed during the 2007-2008 Writer’s strike by Joss Whedon, his two brother’s (Zach and Jed) and Jed’s wife Maurissa Tancharoen, the show came out during the summer of 2008 to rave reviews and a fresh eye towards online video. Possibly (I vaguely remember Whedon discussing it when it came out) influenced by Felicia Day’s first season of The Guild, the Whedon family wanted to do something online that would have higher production values. Bringing in Neil Patrick Harris and several people that Joss Whedon had previously worked with (including Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion) and created a funny, musical superhero love story. So, what exactly is Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog?

If you have access to Xbox LIVE on the Zune video Marketplace or MSN Video, then you can catch the premiere of season 5 of The Guild today (July 26, 2011). If you don’t have access, then you will need to wait a little while longer (Thursday I believe).

Why are you still reading this? Go watch The Guild.

Felicia Day’s new (secret) project

Posted on by

Felicia Day has wowed us the last few years with her self-made web series The Guild. She not only wrote, produced and starred in it, but made not one, but two amazing music videos to promote it. For the last few weeks, she’s been teasing a new mystery project that she worked on and today, she announced it.

Almost eleven months ago, my agent@georgeruiz called me and said he’d had a conversation with someone from EA/Bioware about the possibility of working together, but they weren’t sure on what. Thus started the LONG road to today, when I can announce my next project: Dragon Age Redemption.

 More information in the USA Today article about it.

[Day] has written and stars in a new Web series, Dragon Age: Redemption, based in the world of BioWare’s role-playing Dragon Age game franchise. Day’s six-episode run, due to hit the Web this year, is set in Ferelden, the same fantasy land in which 2009’s Dragon Age: Origins and the upcoming sequel Dragon Age II play out. In the Tolkienesque sword-and-sorcery adventure game, several races join forces to combat a scourge called the Darkspawn.

The Guild Online Series

Felicia Day is known mainly for her work with Joss Whedon (Buffy Season 7, Dollhouse and of course Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), but she wasn’t happy with the roles available for her. So she decided that the best way to rectify that problem was to create her own series. Knowing that it was unlikely that she could get a network to fund her, she decided to do her own web series. Drawing on her experience with playing online games (such as World of Warcraft), Day decided to create a web series about a group of lovable losers who are in a Guild in an online game. So, what is the Guild about?
