much ado about joss...

[vampirefan]

i'm sure most of you have heard the news about joss having filmed a movie based on a shakespeare play (much ado about nothing), in black & white, entirely filmed inside his own home, principal photography done in 12 days! and starring various whedonverse alumni?

here are some links i've come across. i'll also be posting the contents of each article in separate posts.

i'm really excited even though i barely know the source material. i kinda vaguely think that i've seen it, if only because keanu reeves was in it and i know i went through a phase when was trying to watch everthing he's been in. but i really cannot remember. i read the wiki and it sounds familiar... and it does sound like an interesting story...

regardless, i'm really looking forward to it because of the awesome cast - and because sean maher gets to play a villian!! his first villian role according to sean... :)
