Jenkins, Whitford pack for 'Cabin in the Woods'

Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford are packing for Drew Goddard's upcoming horror film "The Cabin in the Woods."

Here's how the Hollywood Reporter describes the project, which starts shooting soon:

"Much like 'Cloverfield,' which Goddard scripted, the 'Cabin' story line provides a new twist on a classic scenario -- in this case the young-people-stranded-in-the-woods horror trope."

No plot details have been released, but I sincerely hope the "new twist" is really new and not something we've already seen in "The Blair Witch Project." After all, that flick also served as a sort of inspiration for "Cloverfield."

Anyway, the only thing the trade added in regard to Jenkins and Whitford is that they play "white-collar co-workers with a mysterious connection to the cabin." Whatever that means.

Goddard also wrote "Cloverfield," and "Cabin" marks his directorial debut. He co-wrote this project with Joss Whedon, creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and co-creator of "Angel."

Jenkins, who delivered awesome performances in "The Visitor" and "Burn After Reading," will soon be see in "Waiting for Forever" and "Dear John." Whitford is known for his role as Josh Lyman on "The West Wing."
