Joss Whedon's version of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" opens to a wider audience tomorrow, although skipping many cities (such as my own hometown of Chattanooga). So you may have to drive a couple hundred miles to see it, but if it's popular with general audiences it will surely spread to more theaters.

Theater Listings for June

From ComingSoon.Net
Filmed in just 12 days entirely on location in exotic Santa Monica, Calif., Much Ado About Nothing features a stellar cast of beloved, or soon to be beloved, actors - some of them veterans of Shakespearean theater, some completely new to the form, but all dedicated to the idea that this story bears retelling, that this dialogue is as fresh and intoxicating as any being written, and that the joy of working on a passion project surrounded by dear friends, admired colleagues and an atmosphere of unabashed rapture far outweighs their hilariously miniature paychecks.

Shot in glorious black and white by Jay Hunter, the June 7 release stars Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof as Beatrice and Benedick, the world's least likely lovers headed for their inevitable tumble into love. The supporting cast includes Nathan Fillion as Dogberry, Clark Gregg as Leonato, Fran Kranz as Claudio and Reed Diamond as Don Pedro.

Joss Whedon will appear with Stephen Colbert tonight. I will post the video as soon as it appears.
