Let’s start our wish list now! We know we’ll get all three acts of the show, commentary, and a separate, musical commentary. Most likely we’ll get a Making-Of feature, something on the music, and bloopers. What else would you like to see, to make this the most incredible Horrible DVD ever? Here’s my suggestions:
– An extra Dr. Horrible story, filmed for the DVD
– Promos from the characters; Captain Hammer talking to schools, Penny talking about the homeless shelter, Dr. Horrible doing something court-appointed (“Kids! Don’t do evil!”)
– A karaoke version
– A fan commentary, with notable fans giving their reactions (your assistant has my e-mail, Mr. Whedon)
– Features on the people involved, fan reaction, media reaction
– Video of the Comic-Con panel
– A RiffTrax commentary, already bundled in
– A feature showing the making of the Making Of feature
– A small comic book (a la the Serenity comic that came bundled with the Best Buy version of the Serenity Special Edition DVD) of “Captain Hammer: Be Like Me”
– The original storyboards, possibly in napkin form
– A feature on the already-existing mad science apartment that was used
– The entire run of “Apartment 4B” by Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, including the 1st episode
– A feature on the special effects, done with all the gravitas and detail as anything about Gollum on the LoTR DVDs. “Here we had to sync up Nathan leaping off a chair into frame just as the van careened by, so it really looked like he was jumping off the van. Timing was critical for it to really feel right, so we were there, oh god, almost 7 minutes before we were finally happy with it, but that’s the kind of dedication we put into it. Then we had a Snickers.”
And most importantly:
– Previews of the sequel
What do you want to see?
I’d like to see the story that didn’t get made. Where did they NOT take it? I want to be able to read the “kitchen sink” version of the script.
I don’t think I agree with Lioness. I’d like that to be in DHSAB2.
As for this DVD, I’d like to see digital/iPod copies of the show (which is becoming pretty standard) so I can watch whenevah.
A gagreel.
Oooh, and how about Joss’s analysis of standard superhero/villian conventions, how he was led to subvert them, and how Dr. Horrible will change the face of the genre forever (okay, perhaps that’s a little ambitious).
