Joss Whedon‘s Much Ado About Nothing will be released in theaters on June 7th, 2013!

The story is a modern retelling of Shakespeare‘s play by Joss Whedon :
Leonato (Clark Gregg), the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro (Reed Diamond) who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John (Sean Maher). Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick (Alexis Denisof) and Claudio (Fran Kranz). While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato’s daughter Hero (Jillian Morgese), while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice (Amy Acker), the governor’s niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage…

The cast is quite whedonesque, and – for our greatest pleasure – stars the delightful Amy Acker :

• Alexis Denisof (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse, How I Met Your Mother)
