    Director Kenneth Branagh released his version of Shakespeare’s famous play Much Ado About Nothing in 1993. In 2013, Joss Whedon also released a version of Much Ado About Nothing.

    The two versions of Much Ado About Nothing that I chose were the 1993 version, directed by Kenneth Branagh, and the 2012 version directed by Joss Whedon.
