So, Zach Braff is updating Scrub’s fans on the latest and greatest on his MySpace page — including the fate of Scrubs’ eighth season (yes, it’s happening… no, he can’t tell you what network it will air on) as well as the upcoming May 8 episode that is “a GIANT homage to ‘The Princess Bride,’” directed by Zach Braff himself.

Here’s an excerpt of Zach Braff’s MySpace message, though you can read it all at MySpace:

“Dear Friends,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to write, but I feel kindo silly posting without anything too interesting to say. I’ve also been stalling to talk about some big Scrubs news, however I’ve just been informed that I’m not allowed to talk about anything related to Scrubs and it’s current fate. What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)

But I can tell you that the coolest episode we’ve ever done is going to air on May 8th at 8:30(E/P). I directed it and it’s a GIANT homage to “The Princess Bride”. Dr. Cox has to make up a fairy tale for his son and he does so using everything that happened in the hospital that day. It’s by far the most epic (and expensive) episode we’ve ever done. (Monsters, potions, evil wizards, giants, hunchbacks, gnomes – like “World of Warcraft”, but Scrubs…).

I’ll be posting an exclusive clip on this site in a few days.”
