Whenever a film project is delayed it’s usually not a good sign. DEAD SNOW director Tommy Wirkola’s big-budget Hollywood debut was set to open April/May this year but soon saw it’s release date pulled until early 2013. We’re hoping that’s in part due to being frightened off by THE AVENGERS assembling, rather than HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS being a poor feature. It is also expected the reason was to see if Jeremy Renner’s higher profile after taking over the Bourne franchise would put a few extra bums on seats. Still, the trailer looked a lot of fun so fingers crossed!
The title pretty much speaks for itself regarding the plot but with the stunning Gemma Arterton co-starring alongside Renner’s Hansel, as crossbow-wielding sibling Gretel, now all grown up and making a living hunting those who tormented their childhood – I’m sold. Check out the latest international poster (and the previous designs if you’ve missed them), for the action-packed fantasy set for cinemas in the US for the 25th January and the UK on the 15th March.
HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS co-stars Famke Janssen, Zoe Bell, Peter Stormare, Thomas Mann and Derek Mears.
