Daredevil will be a Netflix original series

YES! Said this long-time Daredevil fan. This is good news for those of us who are anxiously awaiting a decent adaptation of The Man Without Fear sans Ben Affleck in leather pants. Netflix just cut a deal with Marvel Comics to bring the character to life, and are close to signing The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard to pen the series. Goddard also wrote Cloverfield and World War Z and worked with the likes Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams on several TV series including Angel, Alias, Lost and Buffy the Vampire Slayer . Good geek pedigree, no? With Goddard on board, and the free creative reign Netflix has given collaborators on original shows like House of Cards and Hemlock Grove , this Daredevil series could be something special. We'll know for sure when it premieres next year.

Micro Review: The Cabin in the Woods

A horror fan's wet dream, this loving hate letter to scary movies subverts the genre while catering to its every whim. We get the boobs, blood and backwoods terror of the traditional cabin-in-the-woods slasher picture while, at the same time, see the cliches turned on their collective heads. And there's a whole other twist that spins everything 180 degrees. Not especially scary, but very smart and funny . . .  and fun! Good cast, well made and sharply written. Thank you, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard. In a world filled with sequels and reboots, you've made this jaded horror fan very, very happy. Take note, the less you know going in the better! A Good from me.

The locals aren't friendly in this Cabin in the Woods clip

What could very well be the horror movie event of 2012 hits theatres this Friday . . . and I won't be around to see it :( Sad face is sad. But that doesn't mean I won't catch Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's much anticipated loving hate letter to horror first chance I get. And Shawn and I are sure all you Basement Dwellers are equally as keen to catch this genre-bending picture. Until Friday, we'll all just have to satiate ourselves with the below clip from the film. The headline above says it all, so why waste any more time on my idle chatter. Get watching bitches! The Cabin in the Woods stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford.

The second Cabin in the Woods trailer

And that's all that really needs to be said. As far as I'm concerned, Joss Whedon's self-described loving hate letter to horror is the only movie I intend to venture into theatre's to see this spring (Avengers doesn't count. It's technically a summer movie) and the more I see from it, the more I want to see. As we've mentioned before on this site, Whedon's film is a twisty take on the classic horror premise of five friends who venture to a cabin in the woods for a weekend of partying only to run afoul of something evil. We know the story, have seen it a thousand times, and can anticipate what to expect. Whedon and director Drew Goddard intend to turn that premise on its head. The Cabin in the Woods opens April 13 and stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford. Now check out that new trailer, Basement Dwellers.
