There’s a new cinematic spin on the old fairy tale, this one titled Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
It’s a gritty action flick set years after the original story ends... basically picking up right after that traumatic childhood experience that turned them into hardened bounty hunters.
Directed by Tommy Wirkol, the film hits theaters on March 2, 2012.
Catching up with Hansel and Gretel 15 years after The traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, the siblings became expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them. Now, Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid The town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress Who is planning to sacrifice many local children AT The witches during the upcoming 'Blood Moon' night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer Who Has taken Power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare
