According to the Hollywood Reporter, the four leads for Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s “The Cabin in the Woods” have been cast. Kristen Connolly (“Revolutionary Road”), Chris Hemsworth (“Star Trek”), Anna Hutchison (“Underbelly”), Fran Kranz (“The Village”) and Jesse Williams (“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2”) have joined previously announced cast members Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford according to the trade paper.
“Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding,” Whedon said. “Each of the ‘kids’ is unique, fascinating and talented, and like true friends, the group is more than the sum of its parts. These are people you care about, able to go toe to toe with the amazing actors we’ve corralled thus far, and not unpretty in the bargain. I can’t wait to harm them
Filming has already begun on the film, which has a script by Whedon and Goddard and will be directed by Goddard. The film was scheduled to open in October, but has moved back to February of next year. MGM is reportedly moving the film back to avoid competition with the “Saw” franchise.

Hahahahaha! I thought “Cabin” was supposed to be fresh and new, but they cast the chick who’s spent more than half of her screentime on “Underbelly” in the nude? And why are Home & Away and Neighbours alums getting cast in Hollywood so often?
