Cabin in the Woods

[wallendo]

Joss Whedon's next movie "Cabin in the Woods" has been delayed 11 months so it can be converted to 3-D. link.

I hadn't heard anything about this, but I'm sure it will be interesting.

Retroactively converting to 3-D sounds like a bad idea to me, though.

Should be a good film. The test screenings apparently are very positive. Looking forward to when this does get a release.

Couldn't find a thread for this movie so I will post it here but it looks like Sony may pick this up for distribution from MGM which I hope is true as this is one of my anticipated upcoming horror moves and really just want them to release it already.

I have been waiting so long for this movie because I am such I big Joss fan but I think I went from super excited to just sick of waiting. I am at the point now with this movie that I don't care if it comes out or not.

Yeah I miss her but I hold some hope that Joss will cast her somewhere in The Averngers.

I doubt it would go straight to Blu though because they delayed it over a year to convert to 3D.

Yeah I would rather have straight to video so I could own it sooner. This and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark are my 2 biggest disappointments as both have been delayed and both are my most anticipated horror movies besides Scream 4.

I can't believe that one hasn't come out yet either, gives me misgivings that either of these will be any good.

The 3D conversion seems even more useless now... The tide is clearly turning against the illusion, in particular when it's common knowledge the film in question wasn't conceived and shot in 3D.

Both are good I bet but both suffered the same fate as MGM went bankrupt and the company that was releasing DBAOTD got sold. So both delays have nothing to do with quality of the film but rather company issues.

Havnt heard much about DBAOTD but sounds interesting. My most anticipated horror films for the year are The Thing & Mother's Day but there are a lot of others that I am very interested in as well. Got Em!!

It's bad enough they use 3D conversion as an excuse to raise the price. Now it's the excuse to delay release.

Red Dawn, Cabin in the Woods News
Thor star Chris Hemsworth on his long-delayed MGM films.

We interviewed Chris Hemsworth this week about Thor, during which time we also got him to chat about two of his long-delayed releases at MGM, Red Dawn and The Cabin in the Woods. Here's what he had to say about them:

IGN: You're also in the remake of Red Dawn, which MGM has had on the shelf for awhile now. They're going back and changing the villains from the Chinese to the North Koreans. Has that required you to go back and record any new dialogue for it?

Chris Hemsworth: No, not really. It was always pretty vague even when we were shooting. They kind of never mentioned who it was anyway. It wasn't heavily suggested, so I think it was an easy technical fix for them whether they do it with a little CGI or the occasional voice-over line. But the Russians were in there, maybe the Chinese and they mention someone else, so it just wasn't really the focus. It wasn't really a political take on anything. It could've been the Australians for all we cared. I guess MGM have their reasons for doing it, but we as the actors were never really involved with it.

IGN: Your Avengers director, Joss Whedon, also wrote The Cabin the Woods, another MGM film. Have you guys heard anything about when that might finally come out?

Chris Hemsworth: Yeah, we're hearing that's possibly later in the year, but those films have been tied up at MGM as you say for awhile now. I'm hearing great things about both of them. I'll look a few years older by the time they come out.

Really hope we see Cabin in The Woods in time for this Halloween.

Break Out The Champagne: Lionsgate Set To Distribute 'Cabin In The Woods'

Almost two years after its original release date, Lionsgate has stepped up as the distributor of The Cabin In The Woods after MGM's financial woes kept it from being released. No official release date has been set, but I'll take a shot in the dark and guess October for now.

While I'm excited knowing that I'll get to see the film a lot sooner than I thought, I'm a bit conflicted about how it's going to be received. It definitely has geek allure - with Joss Whedon gaining more buzz than usual from his Avengers directing gig and Chris Hemsworth blowing up more and more by the day for starring role in Thor - but in a post-Scream 4 world, how well is a R-rated self-aware horror-comedy going to do?

Can't wait to finally see this.

The Cabin in the Woods Coming October 28?

Yesterday, there were updates on two Lionsgate projects. First it was revealed that Lionsgate had picked up MGM's The Cabin in the Woods for distribution. That was followed by the news that Dibbuk Box (AKA the "Untitled Sam Raimi Horror Project") was going to be moved back from October 28 to January 6, 2012.

Industry insiders have now revealed to us that this move was most likely made so that The Cabin in the Woods, directed by Drew Goddard and written by Goddard and Joss Whedon, can take that October 28 slot. The film, starring Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford and Brian White, is a spin on the ol' "cabin in the woods" scenario where a bunch of kids head out into a forest and creepy shit goes down.

Directed by Ole Bornedal and produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Dibbuk Box is a fictional retelling of Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein's article "Jinx in a Box" about an antique wooden box purchased on eBay which reportedly had been brought to America by a Holocaust survivor after World War II. The box, supposedly containing an evil spirit, brought devastating effects to a series of buyers. Inspired by these real events, the film centers around a cursed relic containing mysterious familial tokens that is mistakenly purchased and its new owner must solve its mystery to save her own family. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick star.

Really hope it's true as I've already waited to long

Yeah I hope it's true also. I have also waited a long time and I almost gave up hope due to numerous delays. Glad to see there is light at the end on the tunnel.
