Joss Whedon is a master of the art of juggling. During the shooting of The Avengers he somehow managed to brilliantly cobble together his adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. And now, during the early shooting days of Avengers sequel Age of Ultron he’s putting out another micro-budget movie under his Bellwether Pictures banner.
Whedon wrote supernatural love story In Your Eyes starring Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David, but this time he handed the reigns to director Brin Hill. After the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this month, a special video announcement starring Joss from the set of Avengers 2 revealed that the movie would be made available to the masses immediately on the Internet. For 5 bucks you can rent In Your Eyes on Vimeo today. It’s a groundbreaking movie from a massive Hollywood director; typically it takes time for these smaller budgeted movies to get picked up and dropped into theatres after premiering at festivals. But Joss, creator and disseminator of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, knows better.
Watch a trailer for In Your Eyes and see Joss’ video announcement from the TFF after the break.
