I missed the debut and broadcast of Andre Previn's operatic setting of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" from the San Francisco Opera back in 1998. But I can't say that anything I've read would compel me choose it over a couple of hours with Brando and Leigh on TCM or even a less than stellar [Stella?] production of the play. The fact is, how can Previn's score compare with the music of Williams?

According to Deadline.com, Lionsgate has acquired North American distribution rights to director Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, which made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last weekend.
