The most interesting interview, by far, was with Drew Goddard (Director/Writer) and Joss Whedon (Writer). I am very excited to finally be able to share this with you, but be warned that this interview does contain small spoilers. If you would like a spoiler free account of what I thought of The Cabin in the Woods head here otherwise enjoy the interview. Ryan: Alright guys, this is the be all end all of horror movies. Thank you for ending horror. (Laughs) Joss Whedon: There was too much horror in the world, so I decided to do something about it. Ryan: What brought on the idea to make this mash-up of horror films? Joss: Our desire to see more horror films. Drew: We love horror movies. This movie came about because we said: “alright if we could do anything we wanted what would we do?” It was a labor of love rather than an assignment from a studio. Joss: The idea has an element of absurdity. Not that it is a comedy, it is a genuine horror movie. When you’re thinking of something that is completely absurd you’re probably speaking with Drew. (Looks at Drew) You’re like “Lets get some submarines and some Nazis and just go cruising around” You are the go to guy. Press: In terms of writing the script was it something that felt easy or were there more pieces that needed to be put together? Joss: Structurally it came together, I mean it came with a structure. The idea was the structure which is very rare. Then the amount of work it took to put them together in writing and particularly in filming you think: Why didn’t I just build a smaller structure? Ryan: So when are we going to see the feature length Unicorn horror movie? Joss: I hope it is soon. Drew: I hope it is soon. Joss: I hope that Mia Sara is in it. Press: Are you worried about the marketing of the film? I know you are trying to keep the mystery, but at the same time it just looks like the typical teenage, sex, horror, comedy. Joss: We have been worried about the marketing for this movie since before we wrote it. Drew: It is a tricky balance I mean, as a film maker I wish we didn’t have to market anything, I wish we didn’t have to show anything I wish people would just go.  But that is not the world we live in and I respect that you want to tell people: “Hey this is worth your time.” We understand that movies are expensive and we want to earn every cent of your dollar, because we are here to entertain you. Joss: Lionsgate has been really great, because they understand. They have approached it from the stance of if you love horror this is a classic horror movie, but there is more behind it. If you don’t love horror, you’re in the party too. They structured their campaign in the same way we structured the film. We say up front that there is more at work here than kids going to a cabin in the woods. I think they have done a really great job of teasing it out. Press: What is it like trying to reinvent Horror? Drew: I don’t ever think we set out to reinvent the genre, and I don’t think you can. I think that’s a faulty way to start. I think you just have to tell a story you love and you’re passionate about and see where it takes you. This movie just sprang from the fact that we love horror movies and just wanted to put our spin on it. Joss: You know it  is not like when you cover a great song you’re saying “they did it wrong”. It’s more that I like that too and maybe I’ve got a slightly different take on how that could be orchestrated, but I still love that song. Press: How hard is it to get studios to buy into that concept? Because they like to do the same thing time after time. Joss: We got two studios to do it. Drew: It is tricky though, you’re right. I think one of the things we did for thi[...] Featured, INTERVIEWS ryan@lostinreviews.com no no http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-with-director-megan-griffiths-and-actor-matt-oleary-for-eden/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-with-director-megan-griffiths-and-actor-matt-oleary-for-eden/#comments Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:10:22 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37564 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-with-director-megan-griffiths-and-actor-matt-oleary-for-eden/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-second-honeymoon-writer-director-ti-west/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-second-honeymoon-writer-director-ti-west/#comments Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:06:40 +0000 John Coovert http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37805 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-second-honeymoon-writer-director-ti-west/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-safety-not-guaranteed-derek-connolly-colin-trevorrow/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-safety-not-guaranteed-derek-connolly-colin-trevorrow/#comments Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:39:40 +0000 John Coovert http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37457 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-safety-not-guaranteed-derek-connolly-colin-trevorrow/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-tape-57-writer-simon-barrett/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-tape-57-writer-simon-barrett/#comments Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:25:12 +0000 John Coovert http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37462 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/04/sxsw-film-interview-vhs-tape-57-writer-simon-barrett/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-fat-kid-rules-the-world-author-k-l-going/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-fat-kid-rules-the-world-author-k-l-going/#comments Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:27:36 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37549 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-fat-kid-rules-the-world-author-k-l-going/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-red-carpet-interviews-for-hunky-dory/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-red-carpet-interviews-for-hunky-dory/#comments Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:09:22 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37572 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-red-carpet-interviews-for-hunky-dory/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-the-writer-and-director-of-casa-de-mi-padre/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-the-writer-and-director-of-casa-de-mi-padre/#comments Sat, 31 Mar 2012 07:08:42 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37551 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-with-the-writer-and-director-of-casa-de-mi-padre/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-blue-like-jazz/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-blue-like-jazz/#comments Fri, 30 Mar 2012 04:01:11 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37568 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-blue-like-jazz/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-rec3-genesis-director-paco-plaza/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-rec3-genesis-director-paco-plaza/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:31:03 +0000 John Coovert http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37360 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-interview-rec3-genesis-director-paco-plaza/feed/ 0 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-fat-kid-rules-the-world-world-premiere-q-a/ http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-fat-kid-rules-the-world-world-premiere-q-a/#comments Sun, 25 Mar 2012 03:53:44 +0000 Sarah Ksiazek http://lostinreviews.com/?p=37381 http://lostinreviews.com/2012/03/sxsw-film-fat-kid-rules-the-world-world-premiere-q-a/feed/ 0
