• Not much was known about former Buffy cohorts Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon's horror movie The Cabin In The Woods until Amy (Fred in Angel ) Acker started blabbing to SCI FI Wire at WonderCon this weekend. She confirmed that at the film is indeed a creature feature: “There’s a lot of scary monsters,” she says. So, hurrah, SFX has an excuse to cover it now without needing to stretch a point. Acker co-stars with Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly and Chris Hemsworth. The film was due to be released earlier this year, until it was decided to make the whole thing 3D.
