Hansel & Gretel - Witch Hunters

Written by John. Follow him on twitter: @UKFilmNerd

The first trailer has been released for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. The film continues the story of the classic brothers Grimm fairy tale. Hansel & Gretel have gained taste of blood after they killed the witch in the gingerbread house and it looks like they didn’t stop there! Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are playing the brother and sister team.

The film was supposed to be released in March this year but Paramount delayed the film for reasons unknown. It was reported a couple of months ago that Paramount screened two different edits to test audiences. One was supposedly a PG-13 whilst the other was an R. Then it emerged that both test screenings were in fact R rated but one was more violent than the other. So it’s unknown how violent this will be but Paramount is apparently committed to an R rated version. I think it looks like a lot of fun despite the fact it has a very Van Helsing feel to it (which I thought was a fun film anyway).



Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is released in the on US 11th January and in the UK on 15th March.
