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.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
