The Cabin in the Woods
broadly speaking , when a movie end up have its release date delayed by years , it ’s a sign that the studio behind it fuck the film is a dud . In the casing ofThe Cabin in the Woods , however , said delay can actually be chalk up to a compounding of other factor .
Joss Whedon co - wroteCabin in the Woodswith Drew Goddard ( Cloverfield ) , who also made his directorial introduction on the impression . The moving picture was at one point slated to bump off theater in October 2009 , then it was delay for be post - born-again to 3-D - and then it was shelved altogether , due toMGM ’s failure issues .
Lionsgate in the end stepped in to circulate the horror picearlier this twelvemonth , and has now settle on an prescribed release date . alas , for those who ’ve been hyped to see what Whedon has ( slyly ) key as being"the repulsion film to end all horror movies"will have to wait a number longer - specifically , until April 13th , 2012 .
Previous news report paint a picture that Lionsgate was planning to unveil the film on October 28th this yr , but ( obviously ) the studio finally decided against that course of action . It ’s potential that date was look as too crowded already , what with Roland Emmerich’sAnonymous , Andrew Niccol’sIn Time , and the Johnny Depp - starringRum Diaryall being slat to come on that Clarence Day . Plus , Lionsgate probably like the idea of releasingCabin in the Woodson a Friday the 13th , for marketing aim .
Cabin in the Woodsstars Chris Hemsworth ( in his pre - Thordays ) as a chap who heads out to a remote spot in the wilderness with some supporter - and , in distinctive repugnance movie manner , chaos result thereafter . The defend cast includes the likes of Whedon - poetry old-timer Amy Acker ( Angel ) and Fran Kranz ( Dollhouse ) , along with lesser - knowns like Kristen Connolly , Brian J. White , Jesse Williams , and Anna Hutchinson as potentials victim for the nameless monster(s ) in the film . famous character role player like Richard Jenkins ( Let Me In ) and Bradley Whitford ( The West Wing ) flesh out out the cast .
The thought is thatCabin the Woodssupposedly subverts repulsion genre conventions and yet also still works as a legitimately thrilling scarefest , with its tongue planted steadfastly in cheek . call back of something along the lines of Sam Raimi ’s first twoEvil Deadmovies and Whedon’sBuffy the Vampire SlayerTV series , and you ’ll be on the right track . audio predict ?
To reiterate : The Cabin the Woodswill arrive in U.S. field on April 13th , 2012 .
beginning : Lionsgate
