"So what's the reason for pushing back Joss Whedon & Drew Goddard's used to be upcoming CABIN IN THE WOODS? MGM reps say that since the early hype for the movie has been so outrageous, they are spending about six months converting the movie into 3D.

How long will it take? Or rather, when will the movie be released? The original date was February 5, 2010 and is now January 14, 2011"

"Update:I just got this email from MGM Studios, here's what they had to say on the push back: "The reason for Cabin's delay is the conversion to 3D which with VFX and finishing will likely take around 6 months. Then the issue came down to availability of the 3D screen tracks which as you're probably aware are limited. Thus we arrived on the holiday (MLK) weekend where we think the film can find a much larger audience."

So...as much as I can't believe this would actually happen...it sounds like it's official?

What the hell?
