Trailer for Joss Whedon's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

From The Avengers to Shakespeare, here's the first trailer and poster for Joss Whedon's highly anticipated indie film Much Ado About Nothing. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've heard great things about it, and I love what I'm seeing in the trailer! It really does look like a great movie, and I'm excited to see it for myself. Not only because I'm a fan of Whedon, but because I'm also a fan of the work of Shakespeare.

The movie also has a great cast that includes Clark Gregg (Avengers), Fran Kranz, and Amy Acker (The Cabin in the Woods) along with Nathan Fillion, Alexis Denisof, Jillian Morgese, Sean Maher, and Reed Diamond. Here's the synopsis...

Leonato, the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John. Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick and Claudio. While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato’s daughter Hero, while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice, the governor’s niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage.

In the days leading up to the ceremony, Don Pedro, with the help of Leonato, Claudio and Hero, attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an effort to trick the two into falling in love. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John, with the help of his allies: Conrade and Borachio, plots against the happy couple, using his own form of trickery to try to destroy the marriage before it begins.

A series of comic and tragic events continue to keep the two couples from truly finding happiness, but then again perhaps love may prevail.

Much Ado About Nothing opens on June 7th, 2013. Check out the trailer and let us know if this looks like a movie you'd want to see.
