No kidding. I don't think there was a single actor in the trailer who wasn't in some sort of Whedon production (that had lines, anyways).

I love Whedon, I love Shakespeare, and this is my favorite out of all of the plays...SO MUCH HYPE.
Also, I think I love every single actor in it.

I'm definitely going to see this.
But matinee.
Tuesday matinee.
Because holy shit I don't know if I could take an opening night screening at a full theater containing the overlap points of a venn diagram between Shakespeare nuts and Whedonites.

Riki Lindhome I think is the only one. Which means she'll have a major recurring role in SHIELD.
Looks great. This is one of my favorite plays and Joss has collected a very talented group of actors through the years.
That is... true. Ugh.

God dammit. I hate black and white.
But I love this cast, so will watch.

The last couple of seasons of Buffy she was an insufferable diva and wanted out once she started getting movie roles. People still blame her for the show ending.

Blame her for it ending? It lasted seven years and was beyond tired when they finally pulled the plug. Buffy fans should be glad the show didn't last any longer or it would have just further tarnished its legacy.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah, I thought I spotted her in the trailer. Sweet. I dig her.
Agreed. Just saw it at a festival. Fillion truly IS Dogberry. The rest of the movie's pretty great, too.

Looks like Whedon finally made a film that isn't crap.
I've come to inform you that your opinion is bad.
In addition, he should feel bad.

There will be a Q&A with Joss at The Arclight in Hollywood on Friday. There are tickets left for the 8:30 showing. I happen to have got 2 free seats so I will be attending.
Are you saying that this movie is bad and his track record for making films is still in the L column?

Acker is rocking it in Person of Interest.
Listen, I don't know what's up with you and this little crusade, but it's not interesting.

I absolutely must see this. Love Shakespeare. Love Whedon. Love the vast majority of the cast in most of the roles they've been in.

It's good to see that Whedon is looking after his friends and getting them some jobs.

It's pretty funny. Alexis is fucking amazing in it. He steals the show from everyone else. There is some bad acting from some of the supporting cast. I also attended a Q&A with the cast and Joss.
It's getting a much wider release this weekend. This is an unofficial list, but the most comprehensive that I've seen:

So I just saw this. Absolutely loved it. A high concept Shakespeare adaptation done right. The dialogue is delivered in such a way that the flowery language never gets in the way of knowing what's going on and always feels very human.
PS. It'd be a great date movie. I plan on seeing it again with a girl next weekend.
Spoiler for those who don't know the play:

Though there's some serious values dissonance when Claudio shoves and publicly shames Hero at their wedding, and she ends up taking him back. It's a little disconcerting in the more modern setting.

He's been pimping this so hard on NPR and the late night shows. I'm really surprised a Shakespeare film is actually getting buzz.
Did anyone see the recent film adaptation of The Tempest with Russel Brand? It looks pretty trippy.
Here's the starring cast:
