Synopsis: Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world.

They find an odd assortment of relics and curios but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. There's far more going on however than meets the eye as the five campers are all under observation. Directed by: Drew Goddard Stars: Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison.

“I have done an item number in Department” so says Actor Abhimanyu Singh. < Onscreen he personifies pure evil but off it he is diametrically different. Well-known for his negative role in films like Gulal, Rakht Charitra, ABHIMANYU SINGH in person is far more likable and approachable than his onscreen persona hints at. Abhimanyu Singh hasn’t been seen much on the small screen but he returns to the world of small screen with his ongoing serial Upanishad Ganga, produced by Chinmaya Mission and Directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the serial is currently running on DD.

Josh Brolin’s apprehensiveness over playing young Agent K No country for old men guy Josh Brolin is a new kid in the Men in Black Franchise. Men in Black 3 which releases in 3D all over India on 25 Th May, also stars Josh along with Will and Tommy. Josh will be seen playing the character of young Agent K. Josh certainly felt like the new guy on the block especially in the beginning not only because he had not worked with Will before but also because of the strong chemistry Will and Jones share on screen and off screen as well! Josh was apprehensive of playing the character of young agent K as he recalls “I have fun with doing Nick Nolte or Tommy Lee Jones (impersonations), but really bad versions of them. And when I said yes for the role I started studying it, I went, ‘Boy, I said yes, what's the matter with me, I'm trying to sabotage my career, what am I doing!’” Talking about his role Josh said “It was much harder to play the character played by Tommy Lee
