Joss Whedon?s Cabin in the Woods to Open SXSW 2012

Joss Whedons Cabin in the Woods to Open SXSW 2012After debuting to geek enthusiasm at Butt-Numb-a-Thon in December, Joss Whedon's long-awaited Cabin in the Woods will have its official world premiere at SXSW 2012 this March, the festival announced today. Also on deck to headline the film portion of the annual Austin conference are Jonas Akerlund's Small Apartments, Kevin MacDonald's music documentary Marley, and Lena Dunham's post-Tiny Furniture, Judd Apatow-produced HBO series GIRLS, which will preview its first three episodes. More details after the jump.

SXSW is a festival that always loads up on an insane amount of features, docs, and panels, so this first wave of selections is just the tip of the iceberg. Of these first announced titles, Whedon's Cabin in the Woods should play to some fanfare (and, likely, with appearances by Whedon and some of his now-famous cast) while Dunham's GIRLS should please the SXSW crowd that made her Tiny Furniture a hit last year. And the Lubitsch! Given the plugged in, tech-dominant personality of SXSW at large, it's nice to see a revival like this on the docket for the film festival.

The first seven SXSW titles, via press release:

Beauty is Embarrassing (World Premiere)
Director: Neil Berkeley
A funny, irreverent and insightful look into the life and times of one of America's most important artists, Wayne White.

The Cabin in the Woods (World Premiere)
Director: Drew Goddard, Writers: Joss Whedon & Drew Goddard
Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen. If you think you know this story, think again. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes The Cabin in the Woods, a mind-blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out. Cast: Kristen Connolly, Fran Kranz, Anna Hutchison, Chris Hemsworth, Jesse Williams,

Gerard Butler Talks Surf Scare on "The Tonight Show"

Making a stop on the talk show circuit, Gerard Butler dropped by NBC Studios in Burbank for an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Thursday (January 12).

The Scottish stud made the appearance to promote his new movie "Coriolanus," which is all set to hit theaters next Friday, January 20th.

During his sitdown, Gerard started off by talking with Jay about his near-death experience while shooting another new film about surfing called "Of Men and Mavericks".

Explaining that he plays surfer Jay Moriarity's mentor, Butler set out to shoot scenes which required him to ride the Northern California break known as Mavericks, as he told, "So I'm paddling and I'm with three of the best surfers in the world and Greg [Long] starts going 'Paddle, Gerry, Paddle!' and we start paddling to the side and it was like watching a tsunami come in as the whole skyline just became white as this wave spread across in front of us..."

Gerard continued, "It was like a 200 meter sprint and then you just saw the wave coming and we're like, 'Oh, here we go....'. So, you're already exhausted and then the wave just slammed. It was like a car crash really, and then underwater, spinning, spinning, spinning, and then everything went dark...."

The 42-year-old finished his story by telling, "So, I was down and I'm thinking, 'I've got to get up, I've got to get up.' I was terrified. And it was one of the most lonely, scary experiences and I knew the whole crew were up there but they couldn't do anything."

After his surf story, Butler also spent time telling Leno about his recent motorcycle trip, as well as "Coriolanus," with the full interview available in the videos below!
