Some interesting news is making its way around the Whedonverse this morning: As if he didn’t already have his hands full helming a little flick called "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/390422/moviemain.jhtml"]The Avengers[/url]," apparently [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/143062/personmain.jhtml"]Joss Whedon[/url] has shot a film based on William Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing."

Whedon’s film of the same name already has [url="http://muchadothemovie.com/"]a website[/url] and the cast is a Who’s Who of Whedon faves, including Amy Acker, Reed Diamond, Alexis Denisof and Nathan Fillion.

What makes us a bit suspicious about the validity of this project, aside from Whedon’s already superheroically hectic schedule, is the fact that it was first announced via [url="http://twitter.com/#!/NathanFillion/status/128298531965513728"]Fillion's Twitter account[/url]. The "Castle" and "Firefly" actor has been known to prank his million-plus Twitter followers on occasion, but [url="http://twitter.com/#!/NathanFillion/status/128356646098452480"]Fillion was quick to assure us[/url] that this is no joke. So we have to wonder - what is this "Much Ado" really about?
