After all of the "fake" buzz, MGM has finally released the next four official "teens" cast in their super duper top secret The Cabin in the Woods, which is already filming in Vancouver for release on February 5, 2010. Being directed by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield), inside you'll find out who will be joining the previous announced Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford in the groundbreaking film (we'll find out soon enough if that's true). I'd call this some solid casting!
Hey, kids: Don't forget the chocolate and marshmallows to make s'mores!
Camp counselors Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard have recruited Kristen Connolly ("Revolutionary Road", "The Happening"), Chris Hemsworth ("Star Trek"), Anna Hutchison ("Underbelly"), Fran Kranz ("The Village") and Jesse Williams ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2") for their fun little jaunt out to "The Cabin in the Woods." The United Artists horror film had already bagged Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") and Bradley Whitford ("Bottle Shock").
The genre-tweaking screenplay was written by Whedon, who is producing, and Goddard, who is directing. The plot and character descriptions have been withheld by the filmmakers and the studio.
"Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding," Whedon said. "Each of the 'kids' is unique, fascinating and talented, and like true friends, the group is more than the sum of its parts. These are people you care about, able to go toe to toe with the amazing actors we've corralled thus far, and not unpretty in the bargain. I can't wait to harm them."
The film is already shooting, though its release date has been pushed back from Oct. 23 to Feb. 5. Presumably, this is to plant a flag in the date-night terrain of Valentine's Day and avoid competing with a potential "Saw VI" release before Halloween. MGM will distribute.

sounds cool, hopefully it doesnt end up with a PG-13 rating. Hutchinson should have been a gumball machine, if she got a quarter for every piece of skin she showed she wouldnt have triple the money, lol
so is that Jesse Williams, my god, talk about an on screen presence! these scamps have some pretty damn good credits already. the idea of a good ol' cabin in the woods tale AND a plot puts a bloody smile on my face.
What is the plot behind this movie. Is it going to be a slasher pic or an evil dead rip? They have some good actors (the older ones; I don't know much about the younger peeps).
