Posted above is the first image from Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, a flash forward of the classic fairy tale that finds the siblings hunting down supernatural forces for profit. EW scored the pic and an interview with star Gemma Arterton.

She says:

They resonate with your fears, that’s how these fairy tales worked. They scared you into behaving. This one in particular is about abandonment and being lost and parents leaving you. The heart of it is that these kids grow up to be bloodthirsty witch hunters. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, really. What would Hansel and Gretel be in 15 years time?

We spent a lot of time thinking about that and behaving like brother and sister, making it detailed so it wasn’t just two actors kicking butt, really. That would get boring. In our minds, these are two people who grew up with no parents and they only have each other and the bond they have, and with the complexities of that, some resentment.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters costars Jeremy Renner as Hansel (pictured above) and Famke Janssen (X-Men), Zoe Bell (Death Proof) and Norwegian actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (Cold Prey) as evil witches.

The film finds its way into theaters on March 2, 2012.

Oscar nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg is suing Lionsgate Entertainment and Grindstone Entertainment for $3 million in damages suffered for “alleged misappropriation of right of publicity and unfair business practices” in the marketing of the horror film Camp Hell.

Eisenberg, who was paid $3,000 for what is essentially a cameo, is upset that the studios are pushing the bible-camp set thriller as an Eisenberg vehicle, posting his geeky mug predominantly on the movie’s sleeve and marketing materials.

Lawyers for the Rio and Social Network star filed the lawsuit on Nov. 23 in Los Angeles Superior Court (you can chew on the legalese here), explaining the action as way to keep the actor’s fans from being bamboozled.

While the majority of the public will debate whether Eisenberg is a douche-bag for suing or is truly being taken advantage of by the studios, I just feel bad for Camp Hell leads Andrew McCarthy and Dana Delany. This can’t be good for their egos.

McCarthy starred in such ’80s hits as Heaven Help Us, St. Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, and Weekend at Bernie’s (pictured above). Unfortunately, his deal with the devil must have dissolved after Bernie’s 2 and, well, here he is.

Delany, who rose to fame on ’80s drama “China Beach,” is experiencing a resurgence in her career, having starred for three seasons on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” and currently toplining the studio’s new medical dramedy “Body of Proof.” Still, she apparently knows better than to say no to a rent-check.

Eisenberg may be hot today, but there may come a time when his magical Jew-fro will fail to draw audiences and he’ll consider himself fortunate to star as the janitor with a mysterious past in a home video original. Hopefully, no one will make him feel like a loser for doing so.

I guess what I’m saying is that I really like Michael Cera.

British actress Alice Eve is the first new actor to board J.J. Abrams‘ soon-to-start shooting Star Trek sequel. The 29-year-old stunner reportedly beat out Teresa Palmer (I Am Number 4) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America) for the part, which is not based on an existing Star Trek character.

As with the original 2008 reboot, Abrams will direct from a script by Damon Lindelof (“LOST”), Alex Kurtzman (“Alias”), Roberto Orci (“Fringe”). Paramount has set a May 13, 2013 release date for the picture, which goes into production early next year.

Eve joins a cast that includes OG players Chris Pine (Captain James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov), Simon Pegg (Scotty) and Zoe Saldana (Nyota Uhura). Benicio del Toro is currently in negotiations to play a known Star Trek villain.

Eve’s career has certainly lived long and prospered since losing out on the role of Emma Frost to January Jones in Mathew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class and starring in the 2010 comedy-turd She’s Out of My League.

In addition to Star Trek 2, Eve will soon be seen in Relativity Media’s Edgar Allan Poe-inspired thriller The Raven, Barry Sonnenfeld’s long-delayed sequel Men in Black III, and the Chris Sparling (Buried) penned frightener ATM.

Disney has released the first full-length trailer for their big screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “John Carter from Mars,” starring Lynn Collins as Princess Dejah Thoris, Willem Dafoe as Tars Tarkas, Bryan Cranston as Civil War Colonel Powell and Taylor Kitsch as John Carter.

Peep it:

The official synopsis reads:

[John Carter] tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet.

In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

The film marks the live-action debut of Oscar-winning Pixar badass Andrew Stanton, writer and director of Wall-E, Finding Nemo, and A Bug’s Life. Stanton is also the writer behind the Toy Story franchise, Monsters Inc. and its upcoming sequel Monsters University.

John Carter will open in 3-D on March 9, 2012.

“Eureka” starlet Jaime Ray Newman is set to star in Red Robin, a Michael Z. Wechsler-directed mind-control thriller about a man who manipulates people into accepting a delicious gourmet burger on their birthday.

Oh, wait. Here’s an accurate plot crunch courtesy of Variety:

A family reunion on a famed psychiatrist’s (Judd Hirsch) death bed spirals into chaos when he’s accused of using his many adopted children for the purposes of dark experiments in mind control.

Judd Hirsch? They should just call this Red Box.

Well, at least fans of the Syfy series “Eureka” will get a chance to peep Jaime Ray Newman in a new genre. The alluring 33-year-old redhead plays unconventional astrophysicist Tess Fontana on the show.

Newman also starred opposite Rebecca Romijn and Lindsay Price as an element-controlling witch with healing powers on ABC’s short-lived TV series Eastwick, an adaptation of author John Updike’s novel “The Witches of Eastwick.”

Brazilian model-turned-actress Gabriela Dias has sambaed her way into director H.M. Coakley’s Hollaback, a sequel to his debut feature Holla. Set in a plantation house in Louisiana, the film follows the mysterious deaths of a wedding party.

Joining the 5-foot-9 stunner are babes Laila Odom (“Sex Chronicles”) and Melissa Paulo (“Death Valley”), and leads Kiely Williams (The House Bunny), Vanessa Bell Callow (Lakeview Terrace) and everyone’s favorite Mexi-can Danny Trejo (Machete).

Hollaback is set to start shooting next week in Los Angeles. The original Holla was distributed by Lionsgate. If Mr. Coakley can get studio heavy-hitter Tyler Perry onboard the project and rename it Madea’s Hollaback, this could be a huge hit.

Agnes Bruckner (Vacancy 2: The First Cut) is joining Madeline Zima (“Californication”) in director Jamie Babbit’s upcoming homicidal lesbian thriller Breaking the Girl. The 26-year-old starlet replaces Brit Marling (Another Earth) as Zima’s lover and partner-in-crime.

The film follows two girlfriends who plot to kill each other’s enemies. Babbit, who directed Elisha Cuthbert and Camilla Belle in the highly underrated psych-thriller The Quiet, is working from a script by American Psycho scribe Guinevere Turner.

Breaking the Girl costars sexy starlets Tiya Sicar (“Vampire Diaries”), Kate Levering (“Drop Dead Diva”) and Shanna Collins (The Haunting of Molly Hartley). Vagina-less players include Shawn Ashmore (Frozen), Manish Dayal (“90210”) and Sam Anderson (“LOST”).

Bruckner is best known to fright fans for her starring roles in Sony Pictures No Vacancy 2: The First Cut and Dimension Films’ Venom. Other creds include AfterDark’s teen slasher Kill Theory, the Sandra Bullock snore-fest Murder by Numbers, and Lifetime’s “The Craigslist Killer.”

Kristen Stewart (Snow White and the Huntsman), Lily Collins (Mirror, Mirror) and Ginnifer Goodwin (“Once Upon a Time”) aren’t exactly the apple of your eye in their respective Snow White roles, you may want to take a look at Shanley Caswell in Snow White: A Deadly Summer.

Directed by David DeCoteau (Puppet Master: Axis of Evil), the re-imagining finds Snow White being sent away to camp by her wicked stepmother. Once there, she befriends seven campers who mysteriously start to turn up dead one-by-one.

Snow White: A Deadly Summer costars Eric Roberts (of course it does) and OG “Brady Bunch” star Maureen McCormick. No word on a release date, but I’ll keep you Dopey bastards updated.

Looks like someone has taken their love of megalodons too far. And, that someone is B-movie director Fred Olen Ray. The man behind Bikini Frankenstein, Bikini Royal, and Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet is set to introduce a giant amphibious maneater in his upcoming creature-feature Super Shark.

Genre babe Sarah Lieving (Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus) stars as a marine biologist investigating an offshore drilling accident that has freed a prehistoric shark and given it the ability to fly and walk on dry land. Costars include John Schneider (“Dukes of Hazard”),  Jimmie Walker (“Good Times”), and—of course—a bevy of bikini babes.

Super Shark arrives on DVD in February 2012.

Peep it:

Reepicheep, I’ve a feeling Anna Popplewell isn’t in Narnia anymore. In fact, I know the now 22-year-old starlet was in the U.K. shooting writer/director John Hales’ upcoming indie-slasher Passengers.

The Ratio Film production centers on a group of teens targeted by a killer after purposely murdering the woman they hit with their car while on a drunken joyride. No word on whether the psychopath sports a hook or if the action is set during last summer.

Passengers also stars Sophie Colquhoun (Captain America) and these dudes: Jack Derges, Danny Szam, Ian Weichardt, Calvin Dean and Tom Bacon.

Popplewell is, of course, best known for her role as Susan Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia franchise.
