Using the original text, adapted by Joss Whedon, the story of sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick offers a dark, sexy, funny and occasionally absurd view of the intricate game that is love. Much Ado About Nothing was shot in and around Joss Whedon's own home in Santa Monica, California. Co-produced by Whedon's wife Kai Cole, the film was made with close friends and a sincere love for the classic text.
