While The Avengers 2 is still very much in the pre-production stage and we haven’t heard much movement recently on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, everyone will have their Joss Whedon fix very soon.  The UK trailer for his new movie, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, was just released, showing a bit more of the film than the first trailer.  Much Ado tells the story of two stubborn individuals, Beatrice and Benedick, and their haphazard journey to finding love with each other that involves a ridiculous amount of deception and wit.  This one gives glimpses into the interwoven drama with jabs of comedy Whedon is more known for, and I for one am very excited to see him take on an updated but understated version of this classic.  I like that he’s kept the original text, but is playing with the tone and creating a new feel for it.

The cast includes many of Whedon’s mainstays, such as Amy Adams, Alexis Denisof, Clark Gregg, Sean Maher, Nathan Fillion, Fran Kranz, Tom Lenk, Reed Diamond, and Ashley Johnson.  I love seeing Whedon bring back his beloved roster of actors, and I have no doubt that the combination of the cast he’s chosen and his distinctive style of filmmaking and directing will provide something fun and entertaining.  The film is set for a June 7th release.  Hit the jump for the trailer.



Here’s the official synopsis for Much Ado about Nothing:
Leonato, the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother ...]]></description>

Joss Whedon brought his version of Shakespeare's classic comedy Much Ado about Nothing to WonderCon in a special presentation.  Much of the cast of the impromptu production joined Whedon on stage in order to screen the recently-released trailer and two exclusive clips from the film.  The panel also shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how Whedon recruited them for the film, the experience of contemporizing Shakespeare and just how many of them were drunk during filming (off-screen...of course).

Much Ado about Nothing stars Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Fran Kranz, Jillian Morgese, Clark Gregg, Tom Lenk, Ashley Johnson, Reed Diamond, Riki Lindhome, Sean Maher and Nathan Fillion and opens in limited release on June 7th.  Hit the jump for our panel recap.

Whedon took the stage to thunderous applause...which was quickly replaced by a room full of disappointed groans once he announced that Fillion would be unable to join the panel.  Fortunately, cast members Lindhome, Gregg, Lenk, Morgese and Maher joined him on stage along with Spencer Treat Clark, Nick Kocher, Brian McElhaney, Romy Rosemont and cinematographer Jay Hunter.

While the trailer has been out for a little while, the two exclusive clips did a better job at establishing the tone of the movie as well as introducing viewers to the pace and sound of Shakespeare being spoken in a more contemporary way.  The first clip features Don Pedro (Diamond), Leonato (Gregg) and Claudio (Kranz) all falsely professing Beatrice's (Acker) love for Benedick (Denisof), while knowing that Benedick is eavesdropping from just outside.  It shows off both the pace of the conversation ...]]></description>

The trailer for Joss Whedon's Much Ado about Nothing has been released.  For those unfamiliar with William Shakespeare's play, it follows the trick to bring the bickering Beatrice (Amy Acker) and Benedict (Alexis Denisof) together, and the deception to tear apart the enamored Claudio (Fran Kranz) and Hero (Jillian Morgese) apart.  I caught the film at TIFF, and I was charmed by Whedon's low-budget exercise in trying to tell a comedy without using his own snappy dialogue.  This trailer makes the film look a little more intense, but it's understandable when trying to sell Shakespeare to a modern audience.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Clark Gregg, Tom Lenk, Ashley Johnson, Reed Diamond, Riki Lindhome, Sean Maher, and Nathan Fillion.  Much Ado about Nothing opens in limited release on June 7th.



Click over to Yahoo! Movies to see the trailer in HD.

Here's the official synopsis for Much Ado about Nothing:
Leonato, the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John. Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick and Claudio. While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter Hero, while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice, the governor's niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage.

In the days leading up to the ceremony, Don Pedro, with the help of Leonato, Claudio and Hero, attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an ...]]></description>

Around this time last year, we found out that Joss Whedon (The Avengers) had completed an entire movie in secret; that movie was a contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.  The film recently screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival (you can read Matt's review of it here) and scored a big prize when it was reported that Lionsgate had acquired the film, along with sister company, Roadside Attractions.  The micro-budget film was completed in just twelve days in Santa Monica and features such Whedonesque regulars as Amy Acker (The Cabin in the Woods), Nathan Fillion (Firefly) and, now, Clark Gregg (The Avengers).  Hit the jump for more on the acquisition and to see what Whedon himself had to say about it.

THR reports out of TIFF that Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have picked up Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing.  With his characteristic wit, Whedon commented on the acquisition as follows:
“I’m thrilled to be working with my cronies at Lionsgate again, and with The Roadside team,” Whedon said. “That they all embrace a Shakespearean romance with the same enthusiasm they had for Cabin in the Woods shows that they’re exactly the mad fools we want to be partying – I mean working – with.”
Here's a look at the press release from when the picture originally wrapped production, from the film's website:
Santa Monica, CA (October 24 th , 2011)

Bellwether Pictures proudly announces the completion of principal photography on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, a modern version of Shakespeare’s classic comedy adapted ...]]></description>

With a few exceptions, William Shakespeare's trips to the big screen have been sumptuous affairs.  The plays favor an expansive vision by the director, so we get films like Julie Taymor's Titus and Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet.  But one of the many beautiful things about Shakespeare is how flexible it is in terms of setting.  You can set it on a modern battlefield (Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus), in a high school (Tim Blake Nelson's Othello adaptation, O), or in the case of Joss Whedon's Much Ado about Nothing, in an upper-class home.  Whedon's Much Ado is a bold challenge for the director not because of fancy costumes or complex staging, but because he removes two of his greatest assets: his dialogue and a budget.  Of course, nothing Whedon (or anyone else) could write would surpass the Bard, but it's an entertaining exercise seeing the director speak only in a visual language, and then having his budget limit what visuals he has available.  With no money and another author's work, Whedon finds his film's strength in the superb cast, clever staging, and an expert understanding of dialogue.



Much Ado about Nothing is a romantic-comedy based on deceptions both playful and malevolent.  Shot in black-and-white and set in the present day, the story concerns Don Pedro (Reed Diamond), his officers Claudio (Fran Kranz) and Benedict (Alexis Denisof), and Pedro's devious brother Don John (Sean Maher), coming to visit the home of the governor of Messina, Lenato (Clark Gregg).  There they find Lenato's sweet but plain ...]]></description>

I got in line for Ballroom 20 at 6:30am today.  I was early enough to be twenty minutes late to the first panel, because Firefly fans are crazy.  They camped out en masse for the Firefly 10-year reunion---the third panel of the day---and effectively throttled the line for fans of any other properties.  For a show that was cancelled after one shortened season a decade ago, the Firefly crew---Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, writer Jose Molina and producer Tim Minear---sure does draw a crowd.  Could it possibly live up to the Comic-Con hype?  Hit the jump for the panel recap.

First of all, if you couldn’t make it to the panel (whether you are stuck in Texas or the line outside the door), don’t worry: the panel was filmed and will air as Browncoats Unite on the Science Channel on November 11.

Back to the panel.  A roar went up when we saw the first Firefly footage of the ship floating through space.  (This was eventually replaced by LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It”, mostly to time a shirtless Fillion smirking at the camera with the line, “I work out.”)  The audience stood to applaud the cast and crew as they were introduced.  Whedon elicited the most noise, but I think Baldwin came in second (a surprise to me).

Here are the highlights in bullet points:

	Whedon on where Firefly stands in his filmography: “We had the best cast I’ll ever work with… we also had Alan.”  Later, he calls them “the ...]]></description>

That's right, it's time for a resurrection. Or at least a celebration -- first-time San Diego convention goers the Science Channel will be hosting a special 10-year anniversary panel for Joss Whedon's short-lived cult show Firefly. Serenity's captain and crew will all be in attendance, from Nathan Fillion to Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Michael Fairman and more. Whedon and his fellow executive producer and writer Tim Minear are also scheduled for the panel (occurring on Friday the 13th).

Additionally, the network promises never-before-seen footage, along with what is being billed as "numerous buzz-worthy surprises." For more on the Firefly panel as well as Science's other contributions to this year's Comic-Con, hit the jump.Firefly has been airing in reruns on Science since 2011, and has seemingly picked up a new wave of Browncoats to add to the show's ever-growing fanbase. Besides the anniversary panel, Science is also looking to capitalize on the popularity of some of their other syndicated shows, such as Fringe, as well as the buzz of new projects like Dark Matters: Twisted But True, and a series version of the popular How Stuff Works podcasts, staring Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant.

Here's the full press release with all of the dates and room numbers for Science's panels:
(SILVER SPRING, MD) - SCIENCE today announced that it will converge on the world’s leading comics and pop culture convention with three exclusive panels at this year’s Comic-Con International: San Diego (Comic-Con), taking place July 12-15.  Headlined by the 10-year anniversary panel for the cult sensation FIREFLY, the network’s first appearance at the event features a star-studded lineup of top ...]]></description>

As we come within mere days of the North American premiere of The Avengers, the anticipated marketing A-bomb has officially detonated and is in the process of spewing tiny chunks of promotional material across the globe for all to see. We’ve got special edition cola cans, fancy micro-sites, and even pint-sized LARPing…and, of course, your standard behind-the-scenes TV specials. While this one, from CBS News, is mainly a rehash of stuff we already know/have seen before, it would still be worth watching, if only for the chance to have director/geek god Joss Whedon utterly disarm you with his affable wit, as he discusses his career to date.

But here’s another reason to take a look: it features our first glimpse of Much Ado About Nothing, the self-financed, sub-independent Shakespeare adaptation Whedon shot entirely at his Santa Monica home over a period of 12 days just after The Avengers wrapped. Hit the jump to check it out.

As anyone who listens to the Buffy/Angel DVD commentaries will know, this adaptation is an evolution of the Shakespeare readings Whedon’s been staging at his house with friends/collaborators for years. Hence the inclusion of Whedon-verse favorites Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), Amy Acker (Angel, The Cabin in the Woods), Alexis Denisof (Buffy, Angel), Fran Kranz (Dollhouse, The Cabin in the Woods), Reed Diamond (Dollhouse), Tom Lenk (Buffy, The Cabin in the Woods) Clark Gregg (The Avengers), and Sean Maher (Firefly).

Pretty much everyone was taken aback yesterday when it was announced that Joss Whedon had completed filming an entire movie not called The Avengers. The writer-director was able to compile and shoot an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing directly after wrapping The Avengers without a single tweet getting out. He shot the pic at his house in 12 days with a cast made up of Whedon regulars. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, Whedon and some of the cast members have opened up about the secret project (which will be black-and-white) and how they pulled it off. Hit the jump to see what they had to say and for a look at the first images from the film.

Speaking with EW, Whedon revealed that the project came out of the Shakespeare readings that he frequently has at his house, and he used the filming as his vacation:
“Well, it’s not a bit secret that I’ve done these [Shakespeare] readings before, and I always had a vague notion of shooting Much Ado. But I didn’t really have a take on it. And then, for some reason, I kinda sorta did. As we were finishing The Avengers in New York, my wife and I were planning our vacation for our 20th anniversary. And she said, ‘Let’s not take the vacation. Make a movie instead.’ I was like, ‘I’m not even sure if I can adapt the script, cast the movie, and prep it in a month.’ And she was like, ‘Well, ...]]></description>
