From SneakPeek.Ca: Director Drew "Cloverfield" Goddard's horror feature "Mordecai", aka "Cabin In The Woods" will start shooting in Vancouver March 9 for six weeks. "Mordecai" is co-writen by Goddard and producer Joss Whedon.
"It’s genius, it’s funny, it’s got a harder and darker edge, but it’s also got classic Whedon qualities," said Goddard.
"It’ll rip your heart out and be heartfelt at the same time. It’s its own sub-genre, 'the cabin in the woods' and this is sort of our take on it...fresh and new."
Cast includes actors Richard "Burn After Reading" Jenkins and Bradley "The West Wing" Whitford.
"It’s really just your basic typecasting," said Goddard.
"When you need two actors to run through the woods in low-cut nighties, you immediately think of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford..."
The TV mini-series "Riverworld" starts shooting in Vancouver April 2, adapting the books by author Philip José Farmer.
Stuart "Charmed" Gillard will direct for producer Robert Halmi.
Located millennia in the future, the 'Riverworld' is an Earth-like planet whose surface has been 'terraformed' to consist of one long river-valley, with an average depth of 1.5 miles, shallow near the shore then plunging to enormous depths towards the channel. The banks expand into wide plains then climb into jagged hills before a sheerly impenetrable mountain ridge, taller than the Himalayas. While the valley averages 9 miles in width, the river is 20 million miles long.
The story begins when the whole of humanity, from the first homo sapiens to people of the 21st century are simultaneously 'resurrected' along the banks of the river. Everyone awakens in a body equivalent to that of their twenty-five year old selves, except in perfect health and free of any previous genetic or acquired defects....
