Joss Whedon announced that his musical Web series, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, will be streamed free for only one week, beginning July 15. Act one goes up on that date, followed by act two on July 17 and act three on July 19. All three parts will remain on the site until midnight July 20.
After that, the Dr. Horrible series will be made available for paid download in some format and will ultimately end up on DVD, with extras. Whedon promised more information at Comic-Con International in San Diego in July.
Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) wrote the musical series for Dr. Horrible during last year's writers' strike. Co-writers for the Internet feature are Whedon's brothers, Zack and Jed, and Jed's fiancee, Maurissa Tancharoen.
The Dr. Horrible story centers on a low-rent supervillain (Neil Patrick Harris), the hero who keeps beating him up (Nathan Fillion) and the cute girl from the laundromat he's too shy to talk to (Felicia Day).
