The Cabin in the Woods

(...)

And you’ve just finished shooting "Cabin in the Woods"?

Yeah, I’m doing a TV series right now called Men of a Certain Age - it’s myself, Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, Andre Braugher - which premieres December 8th on TNT, and yeah, I just wrapped Cabin in the Woods.

And there’s another Aussie in "Cabin in the Woods"

Yeah, Chris Hemsworth. He’s a big deal now, because of Thor and Red Dawn. He’s fantastic in the film, but it’s essentially anchored by Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford - he’s of course from The West Wing, and Jenkins is an Oscar Nominee for his work in last year’s The Visitor. And of course Joss Whedon is behind the film - and we all know Joss from Buffy; he’s a mad scientist!

And is it the same tone as say, Buffy? Funnies and Frights?

He’s created a new take on the Cabin in the Woods formula and it’s incredibly funny, it’s gory, and it’s smart. Any genre fan is going to really, really going to love this. If you’re even remotely a fan of Joss I think you’re going to love it. I hear they just did a screening, and it went down very well- he apparently hit it out of the park.

My next film comes out September 11 - we have a screening tonight; the premiere is next week - and it’s Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Ball By Myself.
