Joss Whedon Tweets Secret Movie Project

This happened while I was asleep, but last night, Bellwether Pictures tweeted that Joss Whedon has wrapped Much Ado About Nothing, a movie he’d been been filming in secret. Whedon, who also fit in the Marvel superhero pic The Avengers, has a cast that includes Reed Diamond, Sean Maher, Ashley Johnson, Nathan Fillion and Clark Gregg. There’s a graphic of a guy in snorkel gear chest deep in water, holding a martini, and the one-sheet says the Whedon film is “Based on a play.” Looks like a contemporary version of Shakespeare’s work about two pairs of lovers, one wide-eyed and the other cynical, and how they are manipulated in ways that test their relationships.
