Joss Whedon is one ridiculously busy man. Not content with taking on The Avengers, it was revealed last week that he’s also managed to find the time to shoot a new, low-budget take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing which he planning to take on the festival circuit next year.
If that weren’t enough, Deadline reports that he’s also written and is planning to produce In Your Eyes, which Brin Hill will direct – or at least he wrote it a while ago but is only now moving forward. The movie will be the second film (after Much Ado) from Whedon’s new micro-studio Bellwether which will embracce ‘a DIY ethos and newer technologies’ to make small indie movies.
Not a vast amount is known about the plot, other than that it’s ‘a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined’. Whedon says, “When I wrote In Your Eyes, I didn’t have the wherewithal (or the moxie) to make it without an established production house. I believe, as I did then, that it’s a pretty timeless romance, and now, with the creation of Bellwether Pictures (and Brin Hill’s elegant, passionate take on the piece), I have the opportunity to prove it. (I also have a 37% increase in moxie.) I love this team and I can’t wait to see them bring In Your Eyes to life.”
