‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Pushed Back To January 11th 2013
Jan 10th
Seeing as the film was originally under two months away from release and up until now we hadn’t yet seen a trailer, poster, clip, pretty much zilch other than the above image. It can come as little surprise that Paramount Pictures has rescheduled ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ from March 2nd of this year to January 11th, 2013. As of now we don’t know why Paramount has decided to push the movie back, however I’m sure we’ll be hearing details regarding the scheduling change sometime over the next few weeks.
The re-imagined fairy tale flick stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular characters. It is said to be a dark action movie that picks up with the fairy tale siblings years after the traumatic childhood incident has turned them into bounty hunters. Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) directs while Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare, Zoe Bell, and Derek Mears co-star.
In a recent interview Gemma Arterton shed some light on how the film incorporates the original Brothers Grimm tale: ”It continues it. You see a series of flashbacks with their experience of killing that first witch, which is brilliant. I remember being on set for the final few days of that. The candy house, and the witches are really repulsive and quite frightening. The makeup is out of this world. It’s this bone-chilling scene. Very dark. The girl who plays my character is brilliant, with the horrified expression she has.”

Two young women arrive in a nameless British smalltown. Their names are not their own. They don’t declare their ages. Their relationship with each other is not clear. Are they sisters, as their assumed identities declare? Or are they mother and daughter? The eldest, Claire, takes a job in a pub. The youngest, Eleanor, goes to school.
During a truth exercise in her drama class, Eleanor confesses that she has been alive for over two hundred years and has survived by drinking human blood. Her classmates think she is utterly crazy and Mint, her teacher, puts her in touch with the school counsellor. She makes one friend, Frank, a boy who has been home educated and is as much of an oddity as Eleanor. He tries to get to the bottom of her vampire delusion, thinking it an epic and compelling psychosis. Why would anyone want to be undead?
