Joss Whedon Stuff: 'Avengers' Aliens & 'Cabin' Premiere

Here's a box full of chocolates that I found!  I caught a few pieces of news and tidbits with Joss Whedon's movie projects, The Avengers and The Cabin in the Woods.  Check it out....

Talk About The Villains in The Avengers



At SXSW, there was a panel of sorts called "A Conversation with Joss Whedon," and the man himself was grilled about one of the biggest curiosities of the movie anticipation season, and that's who are the bad guys that are in force in The Avengers...

Whedon, in his usually coy/snarky way, said that since he didn't know that much about the Marvel Universe, he put the Vulcans in as the bad guys.  (He's too funny and I totally appreciate his snark.)

But what he did say after that, he said because he was worried about fans getting disappointed going into the movie if they were expecting certain things, and that was this:

I will say only this: It is not the Kree or the Skrulls.


So we have to decide if he's mucking with our heads...  we've seen the toys that make the evil alien gang "look" like a specific species, but hey, any alien race can have big pointed ears and besides, that might be one of those fantasy toy additions to the toy line.

I've seen it with Iron Man and some funky armor toys released in conjunction with previous Iron Man movies.

He'll also be wrapping up his post-production works in his self-produced project, Much Ado About Nothing now that he's starting to see the other side of his Avengers movie fling!

The Cabin in the Woods Premiere at SXSW 2012



The new movie coming out from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, The Cabin in the Woods,  premiered at SXSW...  right before the movie he told the audience to enjoy then keep it to yourself.

The odd part is that during the evening, Joss Whedon thanked Lionsgate for marketing the film without giving anything away.

Wha???

For a second I thought having seen the two movie trailers already, things were already out of the bag?  Or is Joss using reverse psychology on us...   again.


So basically our minds are his playground damnit!
