Whedon’s New Film: A Lighter “The Shining”?
Fresh from minting a billion with “The Avengers,” Joss Whedon’s blockbuster rehab continues. First came his fleet-footed adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” shot in 12 days in Whedon’s home in Santa Monica and proving the play’s place as a precursor to screwball. Now, via release on Vimeo, we have “In Your Eyes,” a Whedon script directed by Brin Hill and starring Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David as two strangers who share an inexplicable telepathic bond. Think of it as a rom-com version of “The Shining,” or Nicholas Sparks on a macro-budget.
