Horrible Turn — Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog gets its own full-length fan film, a prequel with younger actors playing the major roles established in Whedon’s Web-epic.

The Houston-based group that produced it won praise from The Font of All Knowledge (i.e., Entertainment Weekly). These folks, who’d never made a film before, were inspired by Whedon’s Web production. Whedon himself credits the work of myself and my recovering colleagues at Star Trek: Phase II for inspiring him to make Dr. Horrible. Funny how one thing leads to another, huh?

Check out the fan film’s trailer below, then watch the whole thing from their Web site, horribleturn.com.
