First Trailer for Joss Whedon’s THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (Now with Forcefields)

Producer Joss Whedon and director/co-writer Drew Goddard have been coy about how The Cabin in the Woods turns the eponymous horror sub-genre on its head.  The first trailer for the movie has gone online and now we can see what they meant.  The Cabin in the Woods genre usually revolves around something supernatural with only a mystical explanation as a vague guide.  Judging by the trailer, it looks like Whedon and Goddard have thrown together the scientific in the supernatural.  It was an approach Whedon took in the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but instead of Frankenstein, Cabin looks something more along the lines of Hostel where hapless tourists are subjected to the sadistic whims of a shadowy organization.  That organization also has forcefields.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchinson, Fran Kanz, Jesse Williams, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Jenkins.  The Cabin in the Woods opens April 13, 2012.

Fox Has Officially Canceled THE GOOD GUYS and RUNNING WILDE

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: January 11th, 2011 at 2:25 pm

This shouldn’t come as any surprise to those paying attention to Fox’s scheduling changes, but today Fox’s Television Critics Association panel also confirmed the online rumblings that have been circulating over the past couple months.  Fox’s recent comedy series Running Wilde starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell and The Good Guys starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks have both been canceled. Both series struggled to find an audience and personally, they never really tickled my funny bone more than a couple times an episode before I gave up on both of them. Surely there are plenty of fans who will be disappointed so feel free to vent your frustrations in the comments below.

THE GOOD GUYS Making Some Changes Before Series Return This Fall

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: August 9th, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Fox’s new hour long cop series The Good Guys starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks may not have garnered a huge amount of success this summer when it followed Lie to Me on Mondays. But Deadline reports apparently executives at the network like it enough that they are following through on their upfront agreement to give the show a slot next to Human Target this fall. Only nine out of the total eleven episodes aired this summer so the remaining two will be thrown together with nine more episodes for an eleven episode run this fall. Got it? Cool.

But when the series returns this fall, a couple changes will be made in order to boost ratings, improve viewer demographics and generally make the show a little better. Hit the jump for details on the changes and my take on The Good Guys.

TV Review: Fox’s Buddy Cop Show THE GOOD GUYS Premieres Tonight 9/8c

I didn’t get a chance to review the Fox’s summer buddy cop hourlong comedy The Good Guys in advance of its “sneak preview” in front of American Idol a couple weeks ago, but mind you that’s no indication of quality.  And lucky for me, Fox has deemed tonight’s move to its regular slot of Mondays 9/8 c the “series premire”, which gives me a second chance to shine some light on this fun romp of a summer show.

Hit the jump for a review of the first two episodes of The Good Guys after the jump.

BURN NOTICE’s Matt Nix Has Found His JACK AND DAN in Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 pm

In the past several months, I’ve lost interest in television.  Even shows I really like aren’t appointment viewing anymore with DVR, online downloads, and streaming content.  But I refuse to miss a single episode of Matt Nix’s “Burn Notice” which, for me, has redefined my notions of the spy genre far more than the Bourne series.  It’s not that either is bad, but the instructional narration and witty dialogue make “Burn Notice” and absolute delight.  So when I hear that Nix has a new action-comedy and it stars Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks, I’m already in.  Hit the jump for details on Nix’s upcoming show, “Jack and Dan”.
