Joss Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ to Open SIFF 2013
By Seattle Mag April 8, 2013
There will be much ado, indeed, at SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) this year. The festival opens with Joss Whedon’s take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, starring Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, and Clark Gregg. The film was shot in twelve days, uses the original text and apparently was edited on a laptop while Whedon was still in production for The Avengers.

Update (April 9, 2013): SIFF just announced the opening night gala and screening of Much Ado About Nothing is sold out.
