Much secrecy has thus far surrounded Drew Goddard’s directorial debut on “The Cabin In The Woods,” which is being shepherded by Joss Whedon.
One of the film’s co-stars actress Amy Acker has now let slip that the horror film is in fact a monster pic which should come as no surprise, even if a little disappointing, given their collaboration on the script likely came about from Goddard’s work on “Cloverfield.”
“There’s a lot of scary monsters,” Acker told SciFiWire. “It’s a scary movie. It is about a cabin in the woods. You’ve figured it out. Yeah, it’s about a cabin in the woods. It does take from the sort of formula of the horror movie of this group of young kids who go away to a cabin in the woods for the weekend.”
The film stars the likes of Richard Jenkins, Chris Hemsworth, Bradley Whitford, Jesse Williams and Kristen Connolly and, despite originally being slated to hit theaters this past February, was delayed for a whole year to January 14th, 2011 for a — you guessed it! — 3D conversion. Other than that news, the only released promotional material from the film of late was a series of posters at last year’s Comic Con which poked fun at horror genre conventions.
Acker also added that the film “is finished, so they’ve got it all, well, ‘in the can’ I guess is what the terminology was” though it’s not known that includes the conversion.
