‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Sequel In The Works

by Derek Kraneveldt

Hansel & Gretel:Witch Hunters wasn’t overly popular here, bringing in just $50 million on a $54 million budget. Overseas however, the film has fared quite well, just today crossing the $200 million box office mark worldwide.

 

As Deadline has learned, Paramount today officially confirmed that a sequel is in development. There’s no word yet on whether Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, or director Tommy Wirkola will return for the sequel, but I’d expect that there would have been a sequel agreement in their contracts.

 

What did you think of the first film? Are you excited for this news?

Hansel & Gretel Go Hunting On January 25th, Watch Two Clips Now!

by Derek Kraneveldt

After a new red band trailer earlier this week, Paramount has now treated us to two clips of the upcoming Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

The film stars Jeremy Renner (The Avengers) and Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia, Clash of the Titans) as the brother and sister duo. 15 years after their well documented incident, they’ve become reputable bounty hunters of certain “witchly” beings. It certainly sounds like an interesting twist of the classic tale, and from the footage released so far, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters looks as though it could almost (almost) be a spiritual successor to Terry Gilliam’s The Brothers Grimm.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters hits theatres on January 25th. Will you be checking it out?

 

Revenge Is Sweeter Than Candy: ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Gets A Red Band Trailer

by Derek Kraneveldt

As far as red band trailers go (or really, trailers in general), Evil Dead may have won the week, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have room for another restricted romp, this time through old time Germany!

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters hits theatres in just a few weeks, and to show off just how ‘mature’ the film can be, Paramount has released a new red band trailer for the flick. Now, there’s nothing overly red band about this trailer aside from a bit of course language, so there’s no need to warn you like we did before yesterday’s gory, gruesome preview. Watch the new trailer below, and let us know what you think!

Fifteen years after they were nearly killed by a witch with a gingerbread house, Hansel and Gretel have become bounty hunters who hunt witches.

Check Out The First Trailer For ‘Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters’!

by Shawn Madden

Well, not really sure how to feel about this one. I’ve heard quite positive reviews from advance screenings of this movie but to be honest this trailer reminds me of Van Helsing and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Could this end up being good? Sure. Does this look boring and quite on the “eh” side at the moment? Definitely. The last line in this trailer may end up describing the whole movie. But then again…I have been wrong before.

Catching up with Hansel (Renner) and Gretel (Arterton) 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.

The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches’ gathering 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 (Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.
