MGM greenlights “The Cabin in the Woods”

Variety is reporting that MGM has greenlit the Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard-penned script, "The Cabin in the Woods." It's a thriller that will be Drew Goddard's directorial debut. Very cool for him.

Joss has been a busy, busy man. With Dr. Horrible set to launch online next week and Dollhouse slated for a January '09 airdate, he's got a lot going on. I'm really looking forward to seeing Goddard's directing debut, as he's always been a favorite writer of mine since his days on Buffy. I normally love the episodes he writes on Lost, and I was a big fan of Cloverfield, so this should be interesting to see.
