Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing"

Well how about this. Nathan Fillion tweeted a little tweet (still sounds dumb, sorry Twitter) about a version of Much Ado About Nothing and... here we go.

Nathan Fillion, the current "Castle" star who reached Geek God status by playing Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Whedon's sci-fi series "Firefly," tweeted late Sunday night a link tomuchadothemovie.com. That leads to a marquee poster of sorts that reads at top, "Bellwether Pictures is proud to announce the completion of principal photography," and at bottom, "A Film By Joss Whedon, Based On A Play."

Underneath -- and above a picture of a man drinking a high baller and snorkeling -- is a list of names that are, presumably, members of the cast. Included are a whole host of alums from Whedon's various past shows: Fillion, Alexis Denisof ("Dollhouse," "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Amy Acker ("Angel"), Reed Diamond ("Dollhouse"), Sean Maher ("Firefly"), Ashley Johnson ("Dollhouse"), Clark Gregg ("The Avengers"), Tom Lenk ("Buffy" and "Angel"), Fran Kranz ("Dollhouse"), and Riki Lindhome ("Buffy").

I'm actually not super familiar with Much Ado but I'm defiantly curious as a readably big fan of Whedon and a lot of this cast.

Looks like it was shot in someone's home in Malibu with a HD-video camera set to B&W.

My favorite Shakespeare play, directed by a talented writer/director, with a star-studded cast?

Eh. Maybe I'll go see it. Or whatever.

Saw the Kenneth Branaugh version (aka the Keanu Reeves version). Not a lot happens... hence the title. It's pretty silly. I wonder if Joss Whedon is sticking to Shakespeare's script or just using the story and characters.

I laughed REALLY REALLY hard, because I was able to picture this with crystal clarity.
