It’s been a long time coming, but the Joss Whedon produced, Drew Goddard directed twist on the traditional “cabin in the woods” horror story – aptly titled Cabin in the Woods – finally has a U.K. release date (via Whedonesque).

Already slated for an April 13, 2012 release across the pond, U.K. fans will get to see the movie a whole six hours before American audiences (thank you, time difference!).

Having originally been tapped for release in 2009, then 2010, 2011, and now finally 2012, here’s hoping the next nine months can pass without something else holding up the film’s release.

So, April 13, 2012. Are you coming with?
