Hemsworth and Hutchison enter ‘Cabin in the Woods’

Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth and Anna Hutchison join mystery flick from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon.

Aussie television stars join TV big shots for upcoming mystery film.

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth (‘Home and Away’, ‘Star Trek’) and Kiwi Anna Hutchison (‘Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities’) have joined the cast of Drew Goddard (‘Alias’, ‘Cloverfield’) and Joss Whedon’s (‘Buffy’, ‘Dollhouse’) upcoming flick ‘The Cabin in the Woods’.

The film’s plot is a closely held secret, much like the 2008 hit ‘Cloverfield’. Even the details surrounding the actor’s roles are being kept closely under wraps.

The film is currently under production with Drew Goddard at the helm from a screenplay by Goddard and Whedon.

“Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding,” says Whedon.

“Each of the ‘kids’ is unique, fascinating and talented, and like true friends, the group is more than the sum of its parts. These are people you care about, able to go toe-to-toe with the amazing actors we’ve corralled thus far, and not unpretty in the bargain. I can’t wait to harm them.”

The film is scheduled to be released February 5, 2010 by MGM in the United States.
