According to The Hollywood Reporter, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford are moving to The Cabin in the Woods.

Jenkins is on board and Whitford is in final negotiations to star in the mystery-shrouded MGM/UA horror project written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, who also is directing. Whedon is producing.

Much like Cloverfield, which Goddard scripted, the Cabin story line provides a new twist on a classic scenario -- in this case the young-people-stranded-in-the-woods horror trope.

'It's really just your basic typecasting: When you need two actors to run through the woods in low-cut nighties, you immediately think of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford,' Goddard joked.

Whedon said the casting signals what kind of movie they are hoping to make. 'They're the first proof that though The Cabin in the Woods is a classic horror film, it isn't one you've seen before.'

While the studio and filmmakers were loath to provide character details, it is understood that Jenkins and Whitford will play white-collar co-workers with a mysterious connection to the cabin.

The UA production is prepping for a spring shoot and will open wide Feb. 5, 2010, with MGM distributing.


Great actors for this kind of project so it looks promising. Wonder who the younger cast members will be.

Sounds very promising from the casting alone.

That new information isn't accurate, at least according to Joss himself.

If you scroll down a bit you'll see Joss' comments in the purple-ish color.

his own misinformation

1) A prson will have an emotion.

2) two people speaking, or "dialogue", may occur.

3) A bunch of different people will play the part of Bob Dylan.

Hope that clears everything up. More updates soon!

Joss is great

“Ultimately it’s my and Drew’s take on the classic horror movie,” says Whedon. “Which means it’s a classic horror movie, but also means we have something specific to say about it and a different way of saying it than we’ve seen before. I think afterwards people will love it so much there will be no more need for movies. They will want to watch this movie over and over again.”
