The following excerpts are from an interview the director recently did with
The New York Times. Unfortunately, he couldn't talk about the project all that much, but made some interesting points about how he plans to film it.
Since there’s not much you can discuss about “Avengers” right now, what can you tell me about the status of your long-awaited horror film “The Cabin in the Woods”?
I know that MGM is talking to people about it. Because MGM is, Everything must go – they’ve lost their lease. And I believe that there is some interest from other companies in acquiring it and distributing it. More than that, I cannot say, but I have hope that “Avengers” may not be the only thing I get to put out next year.
Can you say when you start production on “Avengers”?
We’re just a hardscrabble bunch. Guerilla filmmaking. I start production a week from Monday. I’m going to get started on the script now. Apparently that’s a thing. I don’t get it. Improv stunts are always way more exciting-looking.
With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Rufallo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury,
The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
