Update central on Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon is nearly a god for those who admire his work, whether it would be from Buffy to Firefly all the way down to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. His latest Fox show, Dollhouse, is coming up on it’s final episode much to the dismay of some fans. Luckily for the people at E! Online, they were able to get ahold of the creative guy from these past couple of decades and ask him a few questions pertaining to Glee, Doctor Horrible and what’s next on his plate.:

More Horrible: So what about that long-awaited sequel to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog? “Sadly, my collaborators don’t have more time on their hands,” Joss teases, with a shrug. “They all have other jobs, which I think is both rude and disgusting.” (He’s kidding.)

“We very much want to do it. We meet, we hammer out stuff, we have songs, we have ideas, we’re really working it, but it’s a slow-moving train. We’re very passionate about it, and Neil’s been great,” says Joss. And as mentioned above, “He’s always checking in before he takes a gig.”

Gleegasm: But what about reports that Joss and NPH could reunite on Glee? As you know, Joss Whedon is set to direct an episode of Fox’s hit musical series later this season, and rumor has it that show producers want Harris to guest star in that very episode. Is that really happening?

“That’s something that’s trying to be worked out, but I haven’t heard whether or not that’s going to take place. I hope so, that’d be great, [but] I don’t know anything about it. I’m just a director on hire for that,” Joss says about his plans for helming an episode of Glee this March. “I’m a huge fan, [so] I’m going to show up and hopefully put the cameras somewhere useful.”

“I’m going to try to not stalk anyone. That’s going to be my big ambition,” he jokes. “I practiced on Jamie Bamber, and I didn’t stalk him for eight days on that episode of Dollhouse. I think I can rock it. I think I’ll be OK.”

What’s Next? Glee gig aside, Joss asks that fans please bear with him while he figures out his next move. “I do hope to create something in this calendar year, as well as do jobs for other people, but I haven’t investigated anything besides Glee,” which he explains is a huge passion project for him. “That’ll actually take a chunk of time. It means a lot to me—I really want to get it right. So that’ll eat up the better part of a month, intellectually, so I’m holding out for a Joss Whedon joint.”

Maybe one of these days Whedon can wrangle up the cast again to make the beloved Act IV of Dr. Horrible, but for all we know it could end up being another Evil Dead IV, meaning that it will never get made. The series finale of Dollhouse airs on Fox on Friday, January 29th at 8 PM PST.
