One of the last films completed under the old MGM leadership (the other being Red Dawn, and both starring Thor) the release of this movie had been delayed several times, originally slated for wide release on February 5, 2010 – it has now been announced that it will come out April (Friday) the 13th, 2012. And let me just say – it’s about fricking time.

The nerd community has been waiting for this mostly because of Joss Whedon’s involvement (Co-Wrote and Produced) and I for one can’t wait to see it. It plays on classic horror stereo-types, much like what Scream did in 1996.

Aside from Hemsworth, it will also star several Whedon alums including Fran Kranz, Tom Lenk, and the lovely Amy Acker.

In addition we’ll also see Brian White (The Shield), Bradley Whitford (Billy Madison), and Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers). Should be an entertaining watch.

Anyhow, here is the trailer…

Well it’s quite obvious that this isn’t your normal cabin and we’ll have a little mystery intertwined. The movie is directed by Drew Goddard which is his first directorial gig. But what originally caught my eye was the first set of posters and their sweet taglines…
