Yeah! I can completely see Sean Maher doing a good Don John...that alone is reason to see it. And am really excited to see Nathan Fillion take a turn at Dogberry.

I agree about Amy Acker as Beatrice. I was expecting Hero for her. She was in the last season of Alias as a bad guy and I had the hardest time believing she was anything but sweet and cute. Beatrice isn't bad, but she does have a good level of snark that does not go with sweet and cute. With Denisof as Benedict, I think it is possible, having seen them together in Angel.

I thought I read somewhere that reading Shakespeare plays was a common happening at either Fillion's or Whedon's house parties. If so, I am glad to see its finally been put on film, but I am just so confused as to what to expect.

Bytemite, I am in agreement, it feels almost like Joss & Co. pulling a prank...

I am cautiously optimistic.

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

Here's a rather rambly but good interview with Whedon on Much Ado. I am still confused on whether or not he kept the Shakespeare language or is using modern language or somewhere in between.
