Joss Whedon is collaborating with Drew Goddard, screenwriter of Cloverfield (huge hit and I know a lot of folks said it was amazing but personally I thought it was a dreadful disappointment) on The Cabin in the Woods. No, this isn’t Joss taking up a bit of DIY to make his own log cabin as his rural retreat, its the title of a horror flick the two are writing, with Whedon also producing and Goddard directing. Other than the fact that the pair are re-working classic horror movie scenarios like the youngsters stranded in the woods cliche (and I think we know Joss well enough to know he will redo that tired idea into something original, unusual and highly watchable) the film is mostly being kept under wraps. Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford look to be on board for the movie, which should start shooting this spring for an early 2010 release date.(via Hollywood Reporter)
