Good news! Deadline is reporting that good ol’ Lionsgate has picked up distribution on Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods. Shelved since 2009, the flick features soon to be star Chris (Thor) Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, whom I’m assuming is not the same Bradley Whitford who plays rhythm guitar for Aerosmith. Though that would be awesome.
I know a few details about the script that I won’t spoil; let’s just say it promises to be more than just your average Cabin in the Woods. The film was post-converted to 3D by MGM, but I’m hoping Lionsgate has the good sense not to bother with that crap. I’m also hoping Lionsgate puts it out this year, preferably around Halloween, because I’m not that in to the interminably dull Paranormal Activity franchise. Fingers crossed.

Is Chris Hemsworth going to be in 2011 what Antonio Banderas was to 1995 where he has something like 148 previously shelved movies come out within 3 months of his breakout role?
AWESOME! I’ve been wondering what was going to happen with this film. Head some good things. I’m glad Lionsgate picked up and I too hope that they release it in Oct.
Yeah, I think so. He’s also in the Red Dawn remake, also shelved by MGM and seeking a distributor.
Is it me or does that cabin look a lot like the Evil Dead cabin?
Yes, very much so. I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time now.
