Josh Hutcherson may have lost the role of Peter Parker in the new "Spider-Man" to Andrew Garfield, but he's not wallowing in defeat.  Instead, the "Kids Are All Right" star has agreed to star in the indie horror-comedy "Detention" for director Joseph Kahn.

According to Variety, the picture centers on a group of teenagers try to get through senior year while avoiding death from a movie slasher-killer seemingly brought to life..  Hutcherson will also executive produce and star alongside, um, Dane Cook (not a good sign).

Kahn is best known for his music videos for artists such as Eminem, U2, Britney Spears and Destiny's Child, but he also directed the box office bomb "Torque."
