The details of the plot for the film are being kept tightly under wrap. The involvement of Cloverfield director Drew Goddard has led movie gossip sites to speculate that the film will be a re-imagining of the young-people-stranded-in the woods type horror movie genre. Writer Joss Whedon has experience re-inventing genres with projects such as the vampire film Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the science fiction cult hit Firefly.

When the announcement of the casting of actors Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins was made, director Drew Goddard cryptically joked, "It's really just your basic typecasting: When you need two actors to run through the woods in low-cut nighties, you immediately think of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford." Writer Joss Whedon also stated, "They're the first proof that though The Cabin in the Woods is a classic horror film, it isn't one you've seen before."Hollywood Reporter: ...Joss Whedon's Cabin...
