I don’t usually scour for movies that will be not released in a few months or so, except perhaps for Harry Potter movies, but when I’ve read about The Cabin in the Woods, I knew this is something I’m gonna look forward to.
First, it’s a horror movie. I’m not really fond of horror (especially the gory ones) but I’m making an exception of this film. This movie has been green-lit by MGM Studios and is a collaboration between Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard. It will be released in 2010.
SciFi.com reported that Whedon’s tight-lipped about the plot details except that ”bad things might happen to teenagers during the film.”
Drew Goddard wrote two of my favorite Buffy episodes - Selfless and the Conversations with Dead People. He was also a writer for Angel, Alias, and Lost. He wrote the screenplay for the 2008 movie Cloverfield. [The latter movie didn’t get very glowing reviews and I haven’t watched it yet. Sometimes, I rely on a consensus of reviews to decide if I’ll check something out, be it book reviews, movie reviews, Hydroxycut reviews, but sometimes a backgound on the people involved in the production also plays a part.]
Joss Whedon, well I’ve said a lot about him already. Besides the TV shows Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and now Dollhouse, his movie credentials are also growing. He was a script doctor/screenplay writer for movies such as Toy Story, Speed, Waterworld, Alien Resurrection, X-Men, Titan A.E., Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and Serenity. This marks the first time he’ll act as a producer in a full-length movie.
