On Saturday, horror movie sites like Bloody Disgusting got worked up thinking that Jena Malone (Donnie Darko, The Ruins) had joined the cast of The Cabin in the Woods, a.k.a. "The Joss Whedon Horror Movie." Then things got even more interesting when Whedon himself, on his official website, said that the Malone rumors were totally false.

So now either Production Weekly has bought into the rumor, or they've seen past it and know that Malone, indeed, is in the movie. She's listed as part of the cast in this week's issue, along with another intriguing detail. The movie is listed as being called Mordecai, with "The Cabin in the Woods" as its alternative title. Is this the new title, and the movie is even weirder than we expected? Or is this the misdirection Whedon has been promising, a J.J. Abrams kind of bait-and-switch where we don't know what anything is called until like 2 weeks before the movie comes out. It's probably not a coincidence that Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard is on board, and now the media trickery has begun.

So anyway, add this to the pile of Jena Malone-related discussion, and keep an eye on that Mordecai title. I'm betting it's just misdirection, but with Whedon, you really never know.
