A few years back now, director Drew Goddard and co-writer Joss Whedon unleashed the new horror-comedy classic The Cabin in the Woods. The original film didn’t leave much room for a sequel, but that doesn’t mean it will never happen.
Goddard recently spoke with Fandango about his upcoming film Bad Times at the El Royale and let split some info on whether or not we’ll ever see The Cabin in the Woods 2.
“Well, you know, we sort of painted ourselves into a corner with the ending of Cabin in the Woods,” Goddard told us. “It’s not a thing that calls for an easy sequel, I’ll tell you that much.”
Goddard added, “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,” he said. “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.”
