Jason Voorhees Attacks ‘Hansel and Gretel’ Cast
Bloody Disgusting has learned that Derek Mears (pictured below), best known as the new Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Peter Stormare (The Divide, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, Undocumented), and Thomas Mann (“The Middle”) have all joined the cast of Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D.
They join the previously announced Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, and Ingrid Bolso Berdal.
Paramount Pictures’ original take on the classic fairytale is set 15 years after the siblings killed the witch who kidnapped them. Hansel and Gretel have now evolved into bounty hunters who pursue witches.
The candy house will be constructed on March 2, 2012.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
