Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog is a shining example of what Joss Whedon can do when the damn networks keep their noses out of his business. I’m talking to you Fox.

The series followed Dr. Horrible as he attempted to defeat his nemesis Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), takeover the world and win the heart of Penny (Felicia Day). The wildly popular three-part web series garnered a huge following which has of course gotten the attention of the movie world.

MTV had a chat with Dr. Horrible himself, Neil Patrick Harris, to find out what he knows about the possibility of a movie sequel to the series.

“Apparently they’re making a Dr. Horrible sequel, a feature film I hope… I hope they cast me in it… We’ll see.”

I hope so too, but we all know that movie execs think they know best, which doesn’t always result in fans getting what they want.

“I don’t know what scale, they’re talking all options, because they made the first Dr. Horrible in five days on no budget at all…

You don’t want to make the feature film be an $80 million giant movie, because it defeats the purpose of what the first film was made to be, but then again you don’t want it to be so low brow that it’s not worth paying money to see as a movie.”

Fans of Whedon may still be grieving over the loss of Joss’ latest effort Dollhouse, but maybe one day the studios will realise that he actually knows what he’s doing. Buffy, anyone?

You don’t have a hit show for seven years and a spin-off for six by accident, you know.

As we wait patiently for the next film in the Harry Potter series, disaster strikes the set of the hit movies.

A fire ripped through the set of the Hogwarts castle, but luckily it looks like the blaze only burned down a mock-up version of the famous school of witchcraft and wizardry. The set at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, was attended to by six fire engines and burned for over 40 minutes before being extinguished.

According to the News of the World, an explosive scene was being filmed for the Battle of Hogwarts sequence – a key scene in the books and a fan favourite, when the replica set caught alight.

One source described the event, “We were shooting the scenes where Hogwarts gets blown up in battle, but fire managed to catch hold of the set and it went up in flames. It was completely out of control at one point.”

Thankfully, none of the principal cast members were involved and no-one was harmed, but the special effects team were reportedly very upset by the fire.

“The special effects guys involved are devastated. There’s always a risk when there’s shooting involving fire and explosives but this shouldn’t happen.”

Tony Smith, Watford fire brigade commander, told the Daily Mail, “There is a big battle scene involving a lot of pyrotechnics and explosions. There is a mocked-up castle made of timber, steel and plastic – somehow it caught alight.”

Though much of the replica set was destroyed, production will continue but will it affect the scheduled finish date?

As Pirates of The Caribbean 4 rolls along nicely towards production, I have a snippet of information to pass along to you.

MTV recently spoke to Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the franchise, who dished on the role that will be played by Penelope Cruz, who was cast earlier this year.

“She plays the daughter of Blackbeard. She’s the daughter of the bad guy.”

The bad guy in question will be played by 44 Inch Chest’s Ian McShane who is confirmed as playing the infamous pirate.

“She brings a lot of humor to it. And the fact that she’s so feisty…[there’s] a little romance between [Depp’s] Captain Jack and the character that Penelope plays.”

Well there’s a huge surprise. The two best looking people in the cast will hook up – shocking.

My only problem with casting Cruz and McShane as father and daughter is that Cruz born and raised in Spain and has a very strong accent. Now this could mean that McShane will try a Spanish accent, Cruz will try (and fail) at an English one or it’ll be explained in the script that she was raised in Spain. Either that or they’ll just pretend that everything’s normal.

Well they might be able to explain away the accent, but how are they going to cover up the fact that Cruz could be well be a seahorse?

Well it was bound to happen at some point. Warner Bros have revealed their plans to release all of their future ‘tentpole’ movies (Superhero, Potter & CGI spectacles) in 3D.

According to SlashFilm, Alan Horn, President of WB, made the announcement at the ShoWest industry convention.

They’re hoping that they can prove how good an idea this is once Clash of The Titans is released in 3D after a conversion.

Horn also made it clear that due to the Harry Potter series coming to an end, they’re hoping to fill the void with DC comics’ library.

While Potter has been the franchise standard to beat, Batman movies are just as eagerly anticipated and now, as they’re WB property, this means the next time we see the Dark Knight himself, it could well be in 3D.
