Whedon's Horror Project ConfirmedBy Katey Rich: 2008-07-09 11:41:42
As is becoming a trend, the trades are reporting a story today that the blog world had a hold of yesterday. This time it’s the Joss Whedon-written and produced Cabin in the Woods, which we reported on yesterday thanks to a scoop from MTV Movies. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that MGM has greenlit the project.Most of the details about the story from MTV’s story, though given that it’s a horror thriller, the plot doesn’t seem all that important anyway. “There’s a reason the title is so straightforward,” said Drew Goddard, the Cloverfield screenwriter who co-wrote this one with Whedon and will also make his directorial debut.. “It’s its own sub-genre, the cabin in the woods, and this is sort of our take on it. It’s fresh and new.” The last time I wrote about Joss Whedon here I got targeted by every Whedon fan on the Internet, so I’m staying out of that for now. I do like the idea of Whedon tackling straight-up horror, though, as an opportunity to get the genre of the torture-porn and remake rut it’s been in the last few years. Is Joss Whedon enough to make me actually want to see a horror movie? Nah. But at least I won’t be upset that it merely exists.
