What happens

Much Ado About Nothing is a 1993 romantic comedy film based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name. It is written, co-produced and directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars in the film alongside Emma Thompson, Robert Sean Leonard, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves and Kate Beckinsale in her film debut. The film was released on 7 May 1993, reaching 200 US screens at its widest release. It grossed $43 million worldwide, which, despite failing to reach the mark set by Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, made it one of the most financially successful Shakespeare films. It was also entered into the 1993 Cannes Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
