[Mette Florida]

DrewGoddard's meta-horror-comedy The Cabin in the Woods was a surprise hit when it premiered in theaters over a decade ago, but Cabin in the Woods 2 news is pretty scant. The original film followed five 20-somethings whose characterizations relied heavily on classic horror movie tropes as they ventured out for a getaway to a cabin in the woods. However, the friends get picked off one by one until only two remain, and Dana (Kristin Connelly) and Marty (Fran Kranz) soon realize that what's going on is actually much bigger than they initially thought.

As it turned out, the cabin was part of a much bigger system of scares run by Sitterson (Richard Jenkins), Hadley (Bradley Whitford), and The Director (Sigourney Weaver). Necessary blood must be spilled to appeal to the ancient gods and prolong an impending apocalypse. However, Dana and Marty decide to let the world burn, unleashing the titans on the unsuspecting human race. While the Cabin in the Woods ending left zero room for a second installment, that hasn't stopped audiences from asking for one. There isn't a ton of Cabin in the Woods 2 news to be had, but Drew Goddard has spoken out about a sequel in the past.

The latest Cabin in the Woods 2 news unfortunately isn't all that recent. In 2018, director Drew Goddard spoke to Fandango while promoting his film Bad Times at the El Royale. The interviewer mentions that at one point there had been talks for a sequel to Cabin in the Woods and Goddard admits that there were. However, he and Cabin in the Woods co-writer Joss Whedon were grasping at straws, and weren't willing to do a sequel simply for a sequel's sake. While this is arguably the right choice, he did also point out that Hollywood is in a time of "never say never." His comments can be read below.

Well, you know, we sort of painted ourselves into a corner with the ending of Cabin in the Woods. It's not a thing that calls for an easy sequel, I'll tell you that much. [...] We had some crazy ideas but Joss [Whedon] and I both felt strongly that we didn't want to do it just to do it. Right? I'm very lucky that I get to keep making movies, I don't need to just go make a sequel for the sake of making a sequel. The only way we could do it is if we could do it justice, and the truth is, it's a hard one to do justice to. Every version of continuing the story undercuts the ending that we had in Cabin, and I just feel like that continues to be the perfect ending for that movie and I never want to undercut it. [...] I mean, look, I never say never, either. I've learned, tomorrow, that a bolt of lightning could strike, and you could think of an idea that does the first one justice, but I haven't quite had that idea yet, I haven't had the idea yet that makes me go, 'Oh, we have to drop everything and do that now.'

There is no Cabin in the Woods 2 news regarding a prospective cast. However, based on the events of the first film, the Cabin in the Woods 2 cast would probably be made from scratch, since the Ancient Ones wiped out the human race. The sequel's cast would wholly depend on the story itself. It's possible that Cabin in the Woods 2 could go the same route as something like Bird Box Barcelona, essentially telling the same story through a different cultural lens. If Cabin in the Woods 2 were to ever happen, studios would do well to follow the first movie's lead by casting relatively unknown faces.

While the bombastic ending to Cabin in the Woods was quite final, there are a few avenues that the Cabin in the Woods 2 story could take. What people really enjoyed about Cabin in the Woods was the revelation that the events of the film were being run by a secret organization that housed hundreds of thousands of horrific monsters in boxes underground. A prequel film starring a younger Sitterson and Hadley beginning their careers at the lab working under the Director would do well with audiences. Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford's characters had some of the best back-and-forths, and audiences would generally be intrigued by how the facility operates.

The other option that not everyone will be on board with is retconning the original ending. The Cabin in the Woods 2 story could see a loophole in the ritual, or it's possible that one of the other countries came in clutch and was able to complete the rite, forcing the Ancient Ones back into their subterranean layer. The Cabin in the Woods ending isn't as final as it may seem. While there's no Cabin in the Woods 2 news, the original film is still being talked about over a decade later because of how unique its premise was. Surely some of that uniqueness could be lent to making a sequel.

Cabin in the Woods 2 news looks relatively bleak, but there are, at least, two spiritual successors to the original film. The first is M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin. While the two films are completely unrelated, Knock at the Cabin and Cabin in the Woods share some stark similarities. First, both are set in remote cabins in the middle of the woods. Second, both films see their protagonists making sacrifices to prevent an apocalypse. In addition, the ending to Knock At the Cabin also serves up some commentary, though not about horror movie tropes, but rather, the nature of humanity itself.

Another surprising spiritual successor is the Jay Baruchal and Seth Rogen movie This is the End. The horror comedy sees the pair, along with James Franco, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride during an apocalyptic event. The film features monsters that would easily fit into the Cabin in the Woods universe, and the Armageddon event itself eerily mirrors the events of Cabin in the Woods when sinkholes start swallowing people whole. The monsters and the apocalypse probably brought this Cabin in the Woods/This is the End theory about. So, while there's no Cabin in the Woods 2 news to speak of, there is at least some follow-up stories.

Director Drew Goddard's 2011 horror/comedy The Cabin in the Woods offered audiences a satirical, self-referential, and tongue-in-cheek take on the standard tropes of the horror genre. Playing on the blended lines between horror and dark comedy, the film -- written by Goddard and Joss Whedon -- presented a fairly run-of-the-mill story punctuated by self-aware send-ups of its own plot and genre. Despite its satirical bent, or perhaps because of it, it has in subsequent years become one of the most memorable horror films of the decade.

The plot of the film, on the surface level, is just about as predictable as any horror movie gets: Five college students fitting the standard horror-film character roles set out in a camper to spend the weekend in a creepy cabin in the woods, blissfully unaware of all the sinister signs that something terrible is about to happen. Gory and terrifying murders of the monstrous and supernatural varieties ensue. Even the name of the film itself is arguably a reference to the cookie-cutter nature of the overdone horror movie tropes it's satirizing, as any of the dozens of such films taking place in a cabin in the woods are brought to mind by the title.

The film's formulaic storytelling is subverted right at the moment when it seems to reach its typical conclusion. When one of the members of the film's resurrected zombie family is finishing off the last of the campers and the workers at the underground facility are celebrating their success, the plot is suddenly turned on its head, leading towards a plot twist that nobody saw coming. The film's sharp satirical edge takes center stage as the real climax of the story begins.

As Dana (Kristen Connolly) is being slowly beaten to death by her zombie assailant, the facility workers are thrown into turmoil as they realize that one of the other campers is still alive, botching the as-yet-unexplained ritual the organization was attempting to complete. Marty (Fran Kranz), who previously had been dragged off and presumably murdered in the woods, suddenly returns and saves Dana, short-circuiting the "horror-movie ending" that had been carefully orchestrated from behind the scenes. Marty has discovered the entrance to the elevators used to transport the horror monsters up to the cabin, and he and Dana take the lift down to the unknown depths of the structure below.

It's at this point that the satire of the plot becomes extremely apparent. The first thing Dana and Marty come across is a menagerie of all the possible creatures that could have been unleashed on them, from ghosts and zombies to the Sugar Plum Fairy. While it suits the typical jump-scare convention of horror movies, it also serves as part of the commentary on horror films that has been present throughout the movie: the horror movie monsters were really just interchangeable. Plug any of them into the plot, and you'd get essentially the same result.

As chaos ensues and various workers are ironically dispatched by the monsters they sent to attack the campers, Dana and Marty work their way down into the heart of the building until they find themselves in some sort of ancient stone temple. It's here that the shady machinations of the organization finally come into focus in yet another satirical turn for the film. Sigourney Weaver appears, in the role simply credited as "The Director." Meaning, that within the context of the story, she's the organization's director, but thematically she's standing in for all horror film directors.

Consequently, even in the final moments, after cleverly pointing out the clichs and tropes of standard horror films, the climax of the movie fulfills yet another one of them: the twist ending. Even though the protagonists manage to outwit the organization, the monsters ultimately win, and humanity looks to be doomed as a result.
