She worked hard to make “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” a super scary film, and now Katie Holmes’ horror flick has been given a release date.

Holmes’ movie was shelved after Miramax was sold by Disney last year, but FilmDistrict has bought it and will release it August 12th.

Katie stars alongside Guy Pearce, who has been getting all kinds of buzz for his work in the multi-award-winning masterpiece “The King’s Speech.”

“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” was premiered at Comic Con last year, and scheduled for an original release date this past January.

Famke Janssen

(Hollywood Reporter) – “X-Men” actress Famke Janssen has joined Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton in a “Hansel and Gretel” action comedy that depicts the fairy-tale pair as bounty hunters.

The Paramount project, “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” picks up years after the siblings’ childhood trauma at the gingerbread house. Janssen will play the leader of the witches.

Tommy Wirkola (“Dead Snow”) is directing the film, which begins shooting in Berlin next month.

Stephen King is big movie business again. Chalk that up to the massive film and TV adaptation of his Dark Tower series that has industry players Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman and Brian Grazer pushing it forward.

The latest new King project is a possible remake of the 1989 film Pet Sematary, a film about dead pets and children coming back to life.
