While the 2013 theatrical release date is yet to be announced, it is great news to confirm that Australians will be privy to Whedon's take on the Bard's play Much Ado About Nothing this year thanks to Sharmill Films.
Joss Whedon's (The Avengers, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', Cabin in the Woods) acclaimed modern re-telling of the Bard's comedic play stars Whedon film and television regulars Amy Acker ('Buffy', 'Angel'), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), Fran Kranz (Cabin in the Woods) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Serenity).Using the original text, adapted by Joss Whedon, the story of sparring lovers Beatrice (Acker) and Benedick (Denisof) offers a dark, sexy, funny and occasionally absurd view of the intricate game that is love.
The film premièred at the Toronto International Film Festival and Whedon's take on the play has received rave reviews, one of which can be found on ScreenAnarchy right here.
Stay tuned to ScreenAnarchy for more information about this release when we receive it.
