The Fran Kranz Can

.

The other week we heard from Amy Acker that the Whedon-scipted Goddard-directed and mother-approved movie The Cabin in the Woods - out in just a measly 276 days! - was "a creature feature" stuffed to the gills with monsters and what-nots, whee!

Well another Dollhouse vixen who's in Cabin has just opened up their yammer and lets secrets come tumbling forth... Fran Kranz, aka Topher, had some shit to share at SciFiWire:

"It's got a lot of different scary things... How many different monsters are out there in the woods?

... All I know is that at one point I read somewhere that Joss said it was the horror film to end all horror films. I like that. I think that puts it best. Those are high expectations, but it's pretty out there. It goes for it. It really goes for it, so if it's successful, then I think people will have trouble following in his footsteps.

... Kranz added that The Cabin in the Woods has two different components: There are the kids in the cabin, but also a group of adults (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford and Acker) in a separate subplot.

"It was like two totally different movies," Kranz said. "The way it was shot or just the scheduling of the filming, I was sort of around. There was about a couple months with all the kids, and then there was about a month or so with the adults. I had a little extra to do, so I was in Vancouver while they were doing that. If you went on set, it was like a totally different movie. It had a whole different feel to it."

The film is complete, and MGM is converting the movie into 3-D. "I know people that have seen it, and it's always a very good response," Kranz said. "I know that they've finished it. I know that they locked picture. I got an e-mail from Drew recently. Everyone's very excited about it. I hear really good things. The script was so cool that it'd be hard to mess up."

And because Topher grew on us all like an appealing fungus as Dollhouse ambled along and by the end we all loved him, here he is in his boxers and a bathtub.
