Few writers have shown an ability to tweak and play with the conventions of genre like Joss Whedon. From his early work subverting vampire movies to recent works taking on science fiction and westerns (and musicals!), Whedon hasn't found a type of entertainment he couldn't rip apart and turn on its head.
For his first foray into non-adapted film in almost a decade, Whedon takes on the spooky cabin in the woods horror film titled, appropriately enough, Cabin in the Woods. Although few details are available at this time, we do know that he's co-writing with Drew Goddard, who penned Cloverfield, along with several episodes of Buffy, Angel, Alias and Lost. Goddard will also direct for his feature film debut.
It's difficult to know exactly what to expect at this point, with no cast announced, or even a possible plot. However, it's a good bet that Whedon and Goddard are planning on a gutting both some unsuspecting teens, as well as a genre. (Reagen Sulewski/BOP)
