First photos from The Reef

3 November 2009 10:28 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Fango just spent some time on the set of The Reef, the new film by Andrew Traucki (the Australian filmmaker who co-directed and co-scripted 2007’s exceptional killer-crocodile flick Black Water) and came back with a couple of exclusive pics, which you can see below. Traucki, a longtime surfer who couldn’t stay away from the water if he tried, is once again investigating the theme of large predatory animal interactions with humans, but is wading into much deeper here.

And if you’d like to share the experiences of the cast and crew of The Reef (which we first reported on here), you can join them live when they stream on-line in real time from the location in Hervey Bay, Queensland this Wednesday, November 4 if you’re U.S./UK-based and Thursday, Nov. 5 for Australians. Check out the film’s official website to sign up, and also read a production blog and other info. »

Five More to Stay at Whedon's Cabin in the Woods

10 March 2009 8:10 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

A while back we covered a little bit of rumor mill fodder regarding the forthcoming genre-subverting, Joss Whedon-written, Drew Goddard-directed horror film Cabin in the Woods. Well, THR is reporting some official casting decisions five times over. Joining the previously announced duo of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford are actors Kristen Connolly (Revolutionary Road), Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek), Anna Hutchison ("Underbelly"), Fran Kranz ("Dollhouse"), and Jesse Williams ("Beyond the Break"). As for the characters that this gaggle will be playing, that's being strictly withheld by the filmmakers. Though the official plot synopsis is also being kept under wraps, from this casting it's easy to see that the usual horror casting of attractive twenty-somethings is in full force (see photos above for reference). Joss Whedon had this to say of the bunch, "Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding. Each of the 'kids' is unique, fascinating and talented, »

Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard have 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) for their upcoming horror film "The Cabin in the Woods." They will be joining Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) and Bradley Whitford (Bottle Shock). Whedon ("Buffy," "Firefly") wrote the screenplay and Goddard is directing. The plot and character descriptions have been withheld by the filmmakers and the studio, but it has already leaked online. Apparently, the film will revolve around two "white collar" characters who lure five college-type kids to a cabin in the woods. The cabin is rigged with carefully selected props, gimmicks and cameras that allow the overseers to spy and interfere with the kids. The mysterious organization behind this scheme is doing this in order to hold a sweepstakes on just how everything will pan out. "Finding »
