Whedon Wraps Mystery Project - Much Ado About Nothing

The luster from Whedon's head is slowly wearing off. He's got a lot of great actors there but I've never been a fan of Shakespeare on the screen. Always much preferred to read it.

Is this a full length feature? Or more of a short?

From the sound of it, a full length feature. It's only referred to as a "movie" and never a "short" and somewhere I read he filmed 10-15 pages of script per day. That equals about 150 pages of script or so, and I think most basic movies are around 120 pages of script. A short is only about 50-60 pages of script, or at least from my friends who have made their own professional shorts that's how long it's been.

I like Whedon, but I hate Shakespeare, with the exception of Othello. I can't say I'm eager to watch this, even with a decent cast. This is definitely a wait for DVD for me.

One thing to note about this being Shakespeare, it's one of the only plays that were written in prose and not poetry. So it won't be difficult to follow as are some other Shakespeare adaptations.
