The first trailer for Joss Whedon’s adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, which of course was the impetus for this blog.
Looks amazing!
I want to see this right now!
Richard III
Act V, Scene iii
Act 3: Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog
I really like mashing up Dr. Horrible and Richard III.
The Tempest
Act V, Scene i
Serenity
We started this project one year ago. To celebrate, here is the Shakespeare text from our very first post, applied to a part of Serenity drawn from The Tempest.
It’s been a year since this project started, and although it isn’t updated as often as I’d like any more, I like to go back to it every now and then. And it is responsible for some very strong friendships. So thank you, Andy, Chris, Kate, Les, Marjorie, Noel, and Rowan for being great people, both online and off.
Henry VI, Part III
Act I, Scene ii
Thor
One of mine. Just wanted to remind you all that this is still a thing.
Comedy of Errors
Act III, Scene i
The Avengers
I apologize for the image quality.
The Cabin In The Woods / Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene 1
The Avengers / Measure for Measure, Act III, Scene 1
Remember Stratford-On-Hellmouth? It’s back. In Avengers form.
Hey! Remember Stratford-On-Hellmouth? It’s back!
(Yes, this is mine.)
Julius Caesar
Act III, Scene i
Empty Places: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 7, Episode 19
Richard III Act I, Scene III / Firefly “Jaynestown”
This is another of mine. I am reblogging it to point out that there is a deeper level of meaning beyond the obvious. People who are familiar with King Lear will know that the line is spoken by Lear to his daughter Cordelia.
King Lear
Act IV, Scene vii
You’re Welcome: Angel Season 5, Episode 12
Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1 / Buffy the Vampire Slayer 4x8 “Pangs”
The Pie Maker of Fleet Street
It was announced today that Bryan Fuller, creator of Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, and Pushing Daisies, sold a television show version of the Hannibal Lector stories to NBC. To me, this news did nothing more than remind me that Pushing Daisies is no longer on the air. (Sadly, I forgot to mention both Pushing Daisies and Deadwood in my Greatest Shows No One Watched post.) Fortunately, there are many others like me out there, and, like with Stratford-On-Hellmouth, a new dream was born: Sweeney Todd with the cast of Pushing Daisies.
Led by Stratford-On-Hellmouth’s Les and joined by Kate, we set about filling all the roles. We ended up with the following:
Sweeney Todd: Lee Pace
Mrs. Lovett: Kristin Chenoweth
Judge Turpin: Stephen Root
Beggar Woman: Ellen Greene
Beadle Bamford: Chi McBride
Aldolfo Pirelli: Paul Reubens
Anthony Hope: Raul Esparaza
Johanna Todd: Anna Friel
Toby: Field Cate
Ghost Narrators: Jim Dale, Sy Richardson
If Joss Whedon can do Shakespeare in his spare time, Bryan Fuller must be allowed to do this.
Joss Whedon talks about ‘Much Ado About Nothing’.
And a lovely new Amy Acker pic!
The Tragedy of Hamlet
Act IV, Scene v.
“Chosen”: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 7, Episode 22
Sorry, I don’t mean to keep tooting my own horn with reblogs of my own posts (though so far, this is only the third, and I have reblogged multiple others), but this Richard III is just so suited for Dr. Horrible that I couldn’t resist.
