Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

[GhostPoet]

Is this going to be a comedy?

Is this going to be a comedy?

Not intentionally.

 

[ALP]

All of these ridiculous hollywood twists on classic fairytales is making me throw up.

 

[The Guard]

I'm a little thrilled that fairy tales are being mined again. I just wish the movies were well made.

Can't wait for the FABLES series, though.

More details about the Plot:

Spoiler

Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) have become Witch Hunters following their fateful encounter with one during their childhood, which caused scars in both of them. Gretel's are psychological - She is plagued by nightmares about the events. Hansel's are physical - He became diabetic from eating too much candy. He is also very cocky and enjoys having a good drink while bragging about his talents.

Their mother was killed by an angry mob that believed her to be a witch. Because of this, the two have lost a little of the passion and the thrill for the job, in addition to the fact that it gets easier and easier to kill witches. This changes when they are hired by the Mayor of the small town of Augsburg to rescue several children that have been captured by a coven led by Muriel (Famke Jensen), who wishes to sacrifice them in the next Blood Moon to gain immortality. The witches are aided by Trolls that do the handywork.

In addition to this, Hansel and Gretel also have to deal with the sadistic Sheriff Berringer (Peter Stormare), that has already killed several innocent women in his quest for the witches and plans to kill as many it is necessary to prove that he is better than them. Well-read, Sheriff Berringer easily manipulates the supersticious townspeople to believe that Hansel and Gretel have brought evil upon the land, causing them to become outlaws. The only ones who continue to aid them are the Mayor, a kind witch named Mina, who is saved from the burning stake by the duo and falls in love with Hansel; Benjamin Walsur, a 15-year-old fan of the two that wishes to become a Witch Hunter himself and, although still unexperienced, is very skilled; and their guide, Jackson.

With 48 hours to locate the witches' hideout in the extensive woods of Augsburg before the Blood Moon rises and both the sacrifices and Sheriff Berringer's bloodbath take place, Hansel and Gretel have to run against time to own to their reputation and destroy Muriel and her sisters.

This is going to suck so hard. And I thought The Brothers Grimm was bad.

I almost forgot about this. Interested to see if the movie is Tarantino-esque holds true when the trailer is released.

 

[Wolfwood]

Man, I was supposed to go see this the other day, but I just didn't have the time. Someone gave me a free ticket to one of those test screening things.

 

[Lencho01]

There's something funny about this.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Based on the approach alone, I'll give it a shot.

It already has points just for Gemma Arterton as Gretel.

 

[Project862006]

btw guys this movie is rated R and gemma said it has a tarantino vibe and tone

 

[Tony Starkk]

This movie seems like it's going to be a blast.

 

[ALP]

I will make sure I stay as far away from this as possible. If Bay's name didn't already guarantee that.

 

[Project862006]

Bay?

you talking about michael bay who is not involved in this movie in anyway shape or form

 

[ALP]

Bay?

you talking about michael bay who is not involved in this movie in anyway shape or form

Wow, omg...I just looked it up.

Bay's Hansel and Gretel was filmed earlier this year. So there's two Hansel and Gretel movies in production just like theres two Snow Whites in production.

 

[BestGirl]

^ Hollywood's obsession with updating fairy tales is starting to become really pathetic.

 

[Airwings]

What's so bad with following the story and actually have two CHILDREN as main characters?
Maybe I should ask the writers?

"Ops, we haven't thought of that!!! But it's too late to change now!"

 

[Doctor Jones]

Eh... this isn't doing much for me. It might be the costume and how ridiculous they look in them. I mean really, I don't like those costumes.

 

[Project862006]

what exactly should they be wearing then?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

authentic monster hunder garb. like real life monster hunters wear
