Spinoff CBR:
MOVIE URBAN LEGEND: Joss Whedon cast one of the leads in his film Much Ado About Nothing based on a single scene in The Avengers in which she was an extra.
There are many stories of famous actors who got their start in the film industry working as a background extra: Sylvester Stallone, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Renee Zellweger, Clint Eastwood and Channing Tatum all worked as extras before landing larger roles. However, to say that working as extras led to their careers as actors is usually a bit of a stretch. After all, many famous actors also waited tables, but you wouldn’t say their work there contributed to their careers as actors.
Collider:
When filmmaker Joss Whedon decided to take on Shakespeare for Much Ado About Nothing, now out on Blu-ray/DVD, the result was a contemporary and charming spin that was shot in just 12 days, in and around his house. The story of sparring lovers Beatrice (Amy Acker) and Benedick (Alexis Denisof) is a series of comic and tragic events that offer a dark, sexy and, at times, absurd view of the game of love. The film also stars Clark Gregg, Nathan Fillion, Fran Kranz, Sean Maher, Reed Diamond, Tom Lenk and Jillian Morgese.
I'm not sure why, but this film looks horrible to me. I've never cared for Whedon's work; so I think I might skip on it until Blu-ray or cable. Your review was great though and at least has me not dreading my viewing.
