Drew Goddard says a Cabin In The Woods sequel is unlikely

Drew Goddard has been discussing the possibility of a sequel to The Cabin In The Woods, and has suggested that a follow-up to the unconventional horror is looking unlikely. The reason why? Not wanting to “fuck up” what he created the first time around!

“They want to make one,” said Goddard to Cinema Blend. “I think Joss… we talked about it. I think we just don’t want to, we don’t want to fuck it up. I mean, I think, I’ve always felt this way. Not everything needs to be a franchise. You know, like we only want to make it if we’re excited about it. I don’t care, I don’t think we need to do it. It’s more about, is there something that excites us? You know, that universe is pretty exciting, so we talk about it from time to time. I don’t know.”

“If I had to put odds, the tricky part with Joss and I, especially, is it all depends on how we wake up in the morning. If we wake up… I can easily see us over drinks tomorrow going like, ‘Hey, what if we did this?’ But I can also see us being like, ‘The movie is pretty good. We don’t need to revisit it.’” Not making an underwhelming sequel to a box-office smash, just for the sake of it? Wonders will never cease…
