Joss shooting a Shakespere play in black and white over a 12 day period with Caleb in the staring role is either going to be awesome or awful.

From the layout, it's Alexis Denisof as Benedick. If Nathan Fillion was younger then I think he'd be perfect in it, but he know feels a bit old to me.

I'm more worried that the fact that they did it in 12 days with no rehearsal and he's already talking it up for the film festival circuit means it's going to be both sloppy and pretentious at the same time.

I hadn't heard it was without rehearsal. I know that Joss has reading parties all the time, so I assumed it had come out of that, in which case they might be reasonably well rehearsed from doing the play a few times.

That could be. I'm getting my news on this from Google and it's pointing me to the sketchiest movie news reporting blogs I've ever seen.
