Trailer Watch: Much Ado About Nothing

It might actually be something…

Much Ado About Nothing

	Plot Summary: From IMDb: “A modern retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words.” Release Date: June 7, 2013
	Poster	Trailer
	Rating: C Commentary: The decision to choose this image alone to sell the film is mystifying. Yes, it’s a bit quirky, and the dash of color to the image seems to be backed up by the trailer as a design element of the film, but otherwise it doesn’t seem to be that interesting.	Rating: B+ Commentary: Recently, someone brought up this film in a conversation. I scoffed because it didn’t seem like the kind of movie he would enjoy. However, watching the trailer, I’m impressed by how much cross-over appeal a film like this could have if all of Joss Whedon’s fans decided to show up. Still, from the guy who directed The Avengers, this won’t seem that exciting. But to any degree of cineaste or Shakespeare fan, it could be fun.
