‘The Cabin in the Woods’ Gets Bumped

The film, directed by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and co-written with Joss, is also going 3D. Eh. The Cabin in the Woods stars Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams and Brian White.

Screamstress Interview: Joss Whedon of “Dollhouse”
February 25, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I had the opportunity to talk with Joss Whedon, creator of “Dollhouse” and many other shows and movies, including “Firefly” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (which I’m just watching for the first time, and loving it). And I can’t leave out the smash-hit musical internet series, “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.”
“Dollhouse,” which airs on Fox, Friday nights at 9 p.m., revolves around a futuristic lab (the “dollhouse”) where various people (the “dolls”) are implanted with false memories and skills in order to complete assignments. When the assignments are done, their memories are wiped clean until the next assignment.
