Phase 4 Films has released the first trailer for director Megan Griffiths’ (The Off Hours) human trafficking drama Eden, starring Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch) as an abducted Korean-American girl  sold into prostitution, who during her two years of captivity gains influence over her captors.

The film is based on a true story and appears to play out as a drama so horror fans probably shouldn’t expect Chung’s character to spit on people’s graves after loading their colons full of buckshot. Still, the movie looks pretty intense and the grey, drab underwear the teen hookers are made to wear makes me sad.

Eden opens wide (ba-da-bing!) on March 20.

Looking for some tail? XLrator Media has set an April 5 limited theatrical release for Aleksander Nordaas’ Thale, starring Silje Reinamo (Dunderland) as a deadly woodland nymph known in Norwegian folklore as the Huldra. The film arrives on DVD on April 23 and can be seen on VOD on March 21.

Thale tells the story of two crime scene clean-up workers sent on assignment to a cabin in the woods to tidy up what is believed to be an grizzly animal attack. What they find is a Huldra, a beautiful cow-tailed woman that is not nearly as fun as one would imagine a chick with a tail to be.

“Human Target” and “Entourage” star Janet Montgomery has scored the female lead on ABC’s “Gothica,” a modern day re-imagining of the lives of horror icons Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and Jekyll and Hyde… think ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” with the Universal Monsters.

Montgomery plays Grace Van Helsing, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from New York who inherits her family’s small town newspaper. Chris Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction) plays Dorian Gray, a wealthy friend to Grace while Tom Ellis (“Miranda”) steps into the role of Victor Frankenstein, Grace’s one-time lover.

Horror fans will recognize Montgomery from slashers Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead and Hills Run Red. She also co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. The British stunner is best known for playing thief Ames on FOX’s “Human Target” and Eric Murphy’s gorgeous assistant on HBO’s “Entourage.”

Laura Ramsey is set to topline NBC’s “The Sixth Gun,” a Carlton Cuse-produced pilot based on the Oni Press graphic novel of the same name. The supernatural western follows a farmer’s daughter (Ramsey) who becomes the target of undead outlaws when she comes upon a mythical pistol with paranormal powers.

Deadline reports that Jeffrey Reiner (“Friday Night Lights”) will direct the pilot from a script by Ryan Condal, writer of MGM and Paramount Pictures’ upcoming epic Hercules, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Ramsey’s horror creds include Renny Harlin’s The Covenant, Jim Gillespie’s New Orleans-based frightener Venom and the 2005 horror-comedy Cruel World (starring Jaime Presley). She is best known, however, for her gruesomely tragic turn in 2008’s The Ruins and that Maxim layout hidden in your bathroom.

Michael Bay thrilled movie-going penises around the world this week when he announced that Megan Fox would star as the female lead in director Jonathan Liebesman’s reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, set to go into production in April for a May 16, 2014 release.

Bay posted on his site:

TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!

TMNT, first published as a comic by Mirage Studios in 1984, centers on four turtles that mutate into humanoids after being exposed to radioactive slime. A giant rat trains them in martial arts and they become crime fighters who yada yada yada Megan Fox!

Fox will play computer programmer and Turtle ally April O’Neil. The role reunites her with Bay, who famously fired her from Transformers: Dark of the Moon after she compared him to Hitler in the press. Bay has since revealed that the order came from producer Steven Spielberg, who was far more offended by the comment.

According to Variety, Fox beat out actresses Jane Levy, Anna Kendrick and Elizabeth Olsen for the part. Bay is producing TMNT through his Platinum Dunes shingle for Paramount Pictures.

HBO has released the first full-trailer for the eagerly anticipated third season of its critically acclaimed fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” premiering March 31. The clip warns that “death coming for everyone and everything,” and judging from the looks on all the players’ faces, it ain’t coming in their sleep.

The one-minute trailer teases some pretty exciting stuff, including a look at Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall (Ciaran Hinds) and onee of Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) dragons, looking all growns-up and fierce.

Severin Films is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Jim VanBebber’s true-crime drama The Manson Family with a limited 20-city theatrical run and a special edition Blu-ray release. The controversial film will play in selected Landmark theaters beginning on March 22, and arrives on Blu-ray on May 7.

The press release reads:

The Manson Family delivers an uncompromising, brutal vision of the collapse of the “Love Generation.” On a ranch outside of LA, the hippie dream is perverting into something evil. What was once an oasis of free love and acid trips has become ground zero for a madman’s paranoid visions.

An average group of kids, the “Family,” become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness. The Manson Family is a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group and, at the direction of their leader, ends in a brutal spree leaving seven people dead in 48 hours.

Those living in the following cities can relive those groovy times by hitting up these showings:

Swedish stunner Katia Winter is set to star in the new FOX pilot “Sleepy Hollow,” a re-imagining of Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek Into Darkness) and directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld).

“Sleepy Hollow” finds Ichabod Crane working with a small town female sheriff in an effort to protect the community from the forces of evil. Winter will play Crane’s wife Katrina, a nurse with the 37^th Regiment in the Revolutionary War.

Joining Winter in the pilot are Nicole Beharie (Shame) and former 7Up pitchman Orlando Jones as Lt. Frank Williams, a homicide detective sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a double murder. The role of Crane has yet to be cast.

Winter is coming off season seven of Showtime’s “Dexter,” in which she toplessly played Russian stripper Nadia, and the Sam Jackson and Nina Dobrev sci-fi actioner Arena. She will next be seen in The Banshee Chapter, a drug-thriller from actor Zachary Quinto’s new production shingle Before the Door.
