The Cabin in the Woods

MGM Out of the Woods and Into the "Cabin?"

The Cabin in the Woods

And by that, we mean the troubled studio is likely out of financial crisis and presumably back onboard with The Cabin in the Woods, thanks to their escape from bankruptcy - which had previously stalled out the much anticipated Joss Whedon-produced comedy-horror project from its planned early 2011 release. The new launch date is currently unknown, but at least it sounds like things may be back on track again. Cabin isn’t the only genre title nearly shit-canned by MGM’s money woes - everything from The Hobbit to the Robocop reboot (which may still have Darren Aronofsky attached) was feeling the pain. All that may change now that the studio has found new ownership, though it’s too early to tell whether the studio will dust off those Outer Limits and Poltergeist remakes.
