Sad news for Joss Whedon fans–seems his big horror opus Cabin in the Woods got pushed back at least a year. But it’s the why behind that decision that’ll blow your mind. In fact, in light of that point, it’s actually not so sad after all.
It got delayed so it can be converted to 3-D. Apparently, the folks out at MGM–who’ve been having some pretty horrible financial problems lately–got a lot of great early response to the film. So they sat down and displayed a huge amount of logic and said, what could possibly make more money than a Joss Whedon horror flick?
Why, a Joss Whedon horror flick in 3-D, of course!
Okay, so even I have to admit that the thought of a Joss Whedon horror flick in 3-D fills me with a kind of glee that I haven’t had since…well, since just before I saw Zombieland…but why didn’t they just start filming in 3-D instead of losing all the effort that went into it thus far?
Oh…yeah. So that we’d talk about it.
