Trivia:
In a May 2013 interview, Joss Whedon noted that aside from abridging the text, he stayed completely true to Shakespeare's original dialogue - except for the Act 2, Scene 3 line in which Benedick says "if I do not / love her, I am a Jew." It was changed to "if I do not love her, I am a fool." See more »

Well Joss, you have done something no one else has ever
accomplished....got me to watch a Shakespeare film. And all I can say
is what a treat! For years, I have read about your Shakespeare get
togethers at your home and it is nice to see an extension of that on
the screen. When I first read that you had filmed this at your home and
in only 12 days, I thought it would be unpolished and only available
online or via DVD purchase. It appears I was wrong on both counts. This
is a great production for anyone that knows your work and the cast you
have worked with so many times before. If they do not know your work
and see this because it is Shakespeare, I don't believe anyone will
leave the theatre disappointed. Congratulations also regarding North
American distribution rights being sold at TIFF.
Thanks again on an excellent bit of entertainment and congratulations
to you and your amazing cast and crew!
