The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

The Cabin in the Woods is co-written and produced by Joss Whedon.

It's a spin on Evil Dead, basically...? Although, I guess that is merely the starting point. Here's the trailer:

Really like the look of this! Along with Avengers, could this finally be Joss's year?

Despite the tired genre thingie, this actually looks less boring than the Avengers trailer.
Yeah, I know - I'm too grumpy.

Well I knew you wouldn't be into The Avengers and hey, even I might not like it. But whatever we think of it, it's going to be huge and that could put one of my favourite writers front and centre. With this little side production to back him up, he might have the clout to do more interesting work.
