Get a Good Look at The White Board from THE CABIN IN THE WOODS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 16th, 2012 at 5:13 pm

Since the filmmakers have made it known that they wish for people to go into The Cabin in the Woods as spoiler-free as possible, I’m going to be incredibly vague here on the front page.  Needless to say, if you’ve seen the movie then you’re aware of a certain White Board.  An image of The White Board has gone online, and we’ve got it after the jump for your viewing pleasure.  If you haven’t seen the movie, I highly, highly suggest you do so.  Director Drew Goddard and co-writer Joss Whedon have crafted a brilliant take on the horror genre that is some of the most fun you’ll have at the movies this year.

If you’ve seen The Cabin in the Woods, hit the jump to check out the image.  Again, spoilers for the film are obviously after the jump.

Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins Talk THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, LIBERAL ARTS and THE WEST WING

As I’ve said all week, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard‘s The Cabin in the Woods is one of the best “horror” movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s easily one of my favorite films this year.  While many of you might love the horror genre, I find it repetitive and stale.  It seems like the genre is stuck in neutral, and no one is making any progress forward.  But that all changed after I saw Cabin in the Woods.  Without spoiling anything, let’s just say the film turns “horror” on its head, and I loved every second of it.

At this year’s SXSW, I got to talk with the cast and filmmakers for both our partners at Omelete and Collider.  Over the past few days I’ve posted my interviews with Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard and Anna Hutchison, Jesse Williams & Kristen Connolly.  Today I’ve got Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. During the interview we talked about premiering at SXSW, Joss Whedon, rehearsals, how much changed on set, how did they get involved in the project, Liberal Arts, The West Wing, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to check it out.

Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins THE CABIN IN THE WOODS Interview

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 8th, 2012 at 10:24 am

I want to make this very clear: Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard‘s The Cabin in the Woods is one of the best “horror” movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s easily one of my favorite films this year.  While many of you might love the horror genre, I find it repetitive and stale.  It seems like the genre is stuck in neutral, and no one is making any progress forward.  But that all changed after I saw Cabin in the Woods.  Without spoiling anything, let’s just say the film turns “horror” on its head, and I loved every second of it.  Trust me when I say: Stop watching the trailers.  Don’t watch any TV spots.  Do not read the reviews.  Just go see the film on opening day next week (and then read Matt’s glowing review).  I promise, it’s worth the price of admission, and after you see it, you’ll want to see it again.

At this year’s SXSW, I got to talk with the cast and filmmakers for both our partners at Omelete and Collider.  Over the next week, I’ll be posting a new interview each day.  Today’s is  Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford.  During the interview we talked about premiering the film at SXSW, working with Whedon and Goddard, preparing for dancing on screen, and more. Hit the jump to watch.

SXSW 2012: THE CABIN IN THE WOODS Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 10th, 2012 at 12:22 am

The Cabin in the Woods is one of the sharpest satires of the horror genre ever made.  Great satire can only come from intelligent, witty, and devious minds.  Director Drew Goddard and his co-writer Joss Whedon have those minds.  They have dissected not just the “cabin in the woods” sub-genre, but the entire horror genre, and most importantly, our enjoyment of it.  Rather than just point out the tired clichés we all know, Goddard and Whedon use the deconstruction as a starting point rather than a dull summation.   It is an exciting, exhilarating, and bloody means to a thoughtful, rewarding, and bloody end.

New Trailer for THE CABIN IN THE WOODS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: March 6th, 2012 at 11:13 am

A new trailer for the horror film The Cabin in the Woods has gone online. Directed by Drew Goddard and written by Goddard and Joss Whedon, the film takes the horror genre and turns it on its head as five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods where bad things start happening. The logline is simple, but the buzz on this film is incredibly positive. I’ve been told that the movie’s twists and turns are best left as surprises, so I’m pretty in the dark about what exactly happens in this cabin in the woods. Needless to say, I’m incredibly excited to go into the film relatively cold. This trailer is much more along the lines of your typical horror film that the first trailer, but I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing. The big sell for movie fans is the involvement of Whedon and Goddard, but this trailer should appeal to the average moviegoer who’s up for two hours of good ol’ fashioned horror fun.

Hit the jump to check out the new trailer. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchinson, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Jenkins. The film opens on April 13th, but our own Matt Goldberg will have a review from the film’s premiere at SXSW this Friday.

TV Casting Call: Abby Elliot May Leave SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE for Fox Comedy Pilot; Bradley Whitford Joins THE ASSET

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 23rd, 2012 at 2:45 pm

Paul Brittain has already exited Saturday Night Live for other pursuits and now it appears the late night sketch comedy show might lose another cast member. EW has learned that Abby Elliott (who, in case you didn’t know, is the daughter of SNL alum and recurring How I Met Your Mother guest star Chris Elliott) is nearing a deal to lead a new Fox comedy pilot called Ben Fox is My Manny (which I think combines the words “man” and “nanny”) and it just might have her leaving SNL. The series, from Couples Retreat writer Dana Fox, follows an uptight single mother (Elliott) and her laid-back brother who move in together to raise a child. Hit the jump for more, including news on a new series for The West Wing alum Bradley Whitford.

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

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 5th, 2011 at 11:11 am

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

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: June 7th, 2010 at 10:12 am

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”.
