| The Many References In ‘The Cabin In The Woods’ (Video)
A new video has been released that offers a look at the references included in the 2012 movie The Cabin in the Woods. And there are a great many of them, I assure you. If you’ve not yet seen writer Joss Whedon and writer and director Drew Goddard‘s horror-comedy, you’re truly missing one of the most entertaining, unique, and memorable movies of recent years, even if you’re not a big horror fan. You also won’t be able to get much out of this post, as the video within, which also warns you at its start, would only spoil much of that fun. For everyone who has seen the The Cabin in the Woods and knows how great it is, be sure to head below to check out the video. More than likely you spotted plenty of these yourself, but chances are there’s a bunch more you didn’t know about, and it’s cool seeing them all (or most of them, anyway) listed off.

| Andrew Garfield Talks Spider-Man’s ‘Sinister Six’ Involvement, Or Lack Thereof |
|
The Sinister Six will always be a constant threat to Spider-Man. Though the roster has changed throughout history, even once doubling to 12, Spidey’s greatest villains will unite the one signal purpose of taking out the webslinger. So when Sony announced that their Spider-Man Cinematic Universe would release a Sinister Six movie written and directed by Drew Goddard in 2018, fans got excited. Of course this meant that the films would need to build up to that one film, and it made plenty of sense that a Sinister Six film would be released after The Amazing Spider-Man 3. But then came The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘s disappointing box office numbers, which was then followed by Sony pushing The Amazing Spider-Man 3‘s release date from June 10, 2016 to 2018. The studio then rescheduled the Sinister Six film from 2018 to 2016. Of course an entire film focused on the Sinister Six, that only has a few possible members on their roster that we have seen and another two confirmed outside of the film, would mean that Spider-Man would have to be involved in some sort of capacity. But Andrew Garfield doesn’t seem to think that’s happening. Hit the jump to see what he had to say about his possible lack of involvement.

| Sony Sets Release Dates For ‘Sinister Six,’ ‘Amazing Spider-Man 3,’ ‘Uncharted’ |
|
A year ago Sony Pictures Entertainment had such high hopes for their rebooted Spider-Man franchise. Production on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was moving forth without a hitch and early footage from the blockbuster sequel screened at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con to an enthusiastic response. Back in December the studio was so certain that it was going to be the biggest movie of this summer, if not 2014, that they announced plans to exploit their ownership of the movie rights to the Spider-Man universe by developing spinoffs that would star Spidey villains Venom and the Sinister Six. The plan originally was for Amazing Spider-Man 2 screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jeff Pinkner to collaborate on the Venom feature, while Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard would write and eventually be called upon to direct the Sinister Six movie. Then Amazing Spider-Man 2 opened to withering reviews from critics and less box office than the studio had initially projected. I haven’t seen the second movie in the rebooted series yet but the consensus is that the gluttony of villains, lack of attention paid to the main characters, and an anti-climatic ending that was to have paved the way for the spinoffs are what hurt its chances at the box office. A $706 million worldwide haul is hardly anything to sniff, but Sony was hoping that Amazing Spider-Man 2 would top out at a solid billion and change at the very least.

| Rosario Dawson Joins The Cast Of Marvel’s ‘Daredevil’ Series For NetflixThe cast of Marvel Studios’ upcoming 13-episode Daredevil series for Netflix just gained even more respectability (and a hint of loveliness) with the just-announced addition of actress Rosario Dawson. Best known for her performances in the Sin City movies, Grindhouse, and the recent indie Cesar Chavez, Dawson will play an unknown character described by Marvel as “a dedicated young woman whose quest to heal the wounds of Hell’s Kitchen brings Matt Murdock unexpectedly crashing into her life, while her own journey forever alters the course of his battle against the injustices of this broken city.” The role is pivotal to the series and Dawson will appear in multiple episodes.

| ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 3’ Release May Be Pushed To 2017If you are still bitter about The Amazing Spider-Man 2, no one would really blame you, especially on account that the film got mixed to negative reviews, and is one of the lowest earnings Spider-Man films of the five that have been released. Though the $60 million weekend opening – it took almost a month and a half to reach over $200 domestically – and a $600 million worldwide gross isn’t a complete loss, the fact that the grossing numbers have been dwindling since the reboot isn’t exactly what Sony was hoping to see. With Sinister Six and Venom spinoff films coming in the near future, all of which are interconnected to The Amazing Spider-Man canon, Sony is left to rethink their strategy for the franchise, which may actually include pushing The Amazing Spider-Man 3‘s release from 2016 to 2017. Hit the jump for more.
