When Nathan Fillion tweets a link, it doesn’t take long for thousands of his loyal fans to click on it. He tweeted a link last night that has Joss Whedon fans all over the internet buzzing.
The link was to a website that just had a little information such as that this is a film named Much Ado About Nothing that written and directed by Joss Whedon and is based on a play. It also states that principal photography is finished as well as giving a list of names, including Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof and Sean Maher. Those three who have been in other Joss Whedon works like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly.
According to the press release, it is a re-imagining of Shakespeare’s comedy by the same name. For me, I’ll be watching for news on this and definitely will be going to see it when it is released. It is a little surprising to see a Joss Whedon project since he is still busy with The Avengers.
But it’s exciting too.
Update: The official press release came this afternoon. Much Ado About Nothing from Bellwether Pictures and the official movie site.
It *IS* a re-imagining of the Shakespeare play as is made explicit in the press release linked at the bottom of the page.
