Whedon's Much Ado trailer

People, I am really not sure how I feel about this:



I love Much Ado. LOVE it. That play is so near and dear to my heart, and informs so much of my outlook towards book and film...whether I'm reading about a couple or watching them on-screen, there's a 98% chance I'm subconsciously measuring their chemistry by the gold standard that is Beatrice and Benedick.

So. I'm just not sure about this vision of Shakespeare's timeless comedy of manners and romance. Maybe it's just the trailer -- the way its shot, the music? Maybe I'll love Amy Acker as Beatrice and whoever this Benedick guy is (Alexis Denisof -- clearly my problem is that I was never able to get into Buffy).

On the plus side, Nathan Fillion is playing Dogberry! And Clark Gregg is playing Leonato! HELLO AGENT COULSON. :) So there's that. Has anyone seen it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

"Much Ado About Nothing" trailer

Thanks to Karrie for bring the trailer for David Tennant and Catherine Tate's production of Much Ado About Nothing to my attention:



Doesn't it look absolutely BRILLIANT? Now, if PBS would just announce plans to air this, and then make the DVD available, I would be really, REALLY happy. :)

*thud*

That's what happened after I stumbled across the promotional poster for David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing, currently playing at the Wyndham Theatre in London. I absolutely loved Tennant's turn in Hamlet, but to know that he's now in my absolute favorite Shakespeare comedy? What bliss. :)

Isn't he adorable? :)
