It's an upcoming movie being directed by Drew Goddard - a Bad Robot guy who worked on several J.J. Abrams shows like Alias or Lost and movies, including writing on Cloverfield - and written by Joss Whedon who there is no need to introduce here anymore.
Firefly? Dr. Horrible?
Sign me in!
The Cabin in the Woods has been announced as a sort of deconstruction of the horror genre and a playful tribute of the fun films of old, like the Evil Dead series or Brain Dead.
Joss Whedon imagined this movie during the production of Avengers, from which they brought Chris Hemsworth (Thor!!) from.
Whedon said he was tired of the modern torture pr0n trend which has infested horror films these last couple of years. Be it with the dozen or so Saw films and the other Cube-like movies.
This movie will poke fun at that genre and return to the genre of the 80s splatter flicks.
These torture movies are mostly an excuse to see people suffer and be tortured, rather than watching people trying to survive things triumphant.
And here's some trailers!
Looks mighty fun!
Hopefully it turns out better than Sam Raimi's own return to the genre Drag Me To Hell which left many purists unsatisfied. Personally I still have to see it, and it looked nice enough.
But Whedon movie might be better, being self-referential and a Whedon plotted movie simply!
The characters should be fun enough.
