Weekly Update: Whedon’s Dr. Horrible Debuts on Web in July; New Galactica and Metropolis Coming

Josh Whedon’s musical fantasy Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will debut on the web in July and will stream for free for one week. The series is about a down-trodden super-villain played by Neil Patrick Harris who is in love with a woman played by Felicia Day and who is frequently pounded by his superhero arch-enemy played by Nathan Fillion. Whedon wrote the three part story during the writer’s strike and has produced the series for a web only broadcast, though a DVD will follow at some point. The series will stream for free starting on July 15^th. After July 20^th, the series will be available for paid download. . . . According to Grace Park who plays the character Boomer, the first of potentially three Battlestar Galactica television movies has received the greenlight. These movies will carry on the story of the Galactica crew after the series wraps up with its fourth season in early 2009. . . . 25 additional minutes of footage to the classic 1920’s movie Metropolis have been discovered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These were scenes deleted from the original movie and long thought lost. A new version of the movie with the additional footage, which reportedly produces a more cohesive story, will be produced for DVD and possibly theatrical release.
