NA CABIN IN THE WOODS

What is Joss Whedon’s: Cabin in the Woods?

Cabin in the Woods has been frozen in carbonite for quite some time, so long actually, that I forgot the film even existed. Originally slated for a theatrical release on 10/29/2009, Cabin was another tragic victim of the MGM financial apocalypse. Good news. Due to a bail out by Lionsgate, Cabin in the Woods will finally get an actual theatrical release! (queue cheers) So what the hell is this movie, and is it going to be any good? After digging around the internet for a bit, here is what we know.

  • Written By: Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield)
  • Directed By: Drew Goddard
  • Starring: Amy Acker (Angel), Tom Lenk (Buffy), Chris Helmsworth (Thor!), Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford.

What’s in the Cabin?

In typical Whedon/Goddard fashion the plot is incredibly “hush hush“. We do know this… Cabin is a horror story, people will more than likely have “witty” conversations, and Amy Acker will probably end up kicking someone’s ass. Ironically, when Chris Helmsworth shot Cabin he was a nobody. Helmsworth was more than likely thinking that Cabin was going to be his breakout film. Shortly after Cabin wrapped he landed his role in Star Trek soon followed by Thor and The Avengers. Needless to say, Cabin in the Woods will benefit from his newfound Thor-power. Cabin in the woods, WILL be out this year... probably…

Bill and Ted 3: script six weeks away!

ill and Ted’s Excellent adventure is a special film for me. When I was a little grub of a kid I rode my bike to the local cineplex to see Bill and Ted because I loved metal, and left the theater loving history.  Now, as an adult, I teach kids all about characters such as: Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Abe Lincoln and Socrates (pronounced So-Crates.. duh)

Netflix offers streaming-only plan

Today, Netflix announces a streaming only plan for $7.99 per month. Consequentially, the cost other plans appear to be increasing by a dollar or so, depending on your plan. The plan announcement arrives on the heels of the recently announced Hulu Plus, which came out of the preview period earlier this week, also $7.99. Looks like a little healthy competition here, giving consumers more choice beyond cable and satellite. Score!

    Local Whedonites decided to organize one-time public screening a couple of weeks ago after cinemas ignored the movie long enough and it was awesome. True Whedon material.
