To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters Ticket

After a lengthy delay (the movie first was expected in theaters in March 2012), Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel 3D played IMAX screens starting this past weekend. (It actually won the box office with an estimated $19 million.) Word of mouth might have you wondering if the horror/fairy-tale hybrid is worth the price of the extra 3D ticket. Fair question. Here’s what we discovered...

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters Debuts Super Gory Red-Band Trailer

After what's seemed like endless delays, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is finally making its way to theaters early next year-- and despite the fairy tale origins, a red-band trailer is apparently the best way to get an idea of this R-rated action offering.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Pushed Back Again, Will Get An IMAX Release

It's been a very rough road to the movie theater for the upcoming action film Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. While the project was supposed to be one of the titles that helped make 2012 the year of Jeremy Renner - along with The Avengers, The Bourne Legacy, and late 2011 entry Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - Paramount Pictures decided very early in the year to bump the film from its original March 2, 2012 release date to January 11, 2013....

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters Trailer Gives More Gun-Toting Renner

finally, there's Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which seemed pretty promising when it went into production early last year, and was set for a plum March release date. Then it got bumped to January 11, 2013, in the traditional early-year dead zone used to dump movies nobody has faith in anymore. But it seemed worth believing in the power of Renner...

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters Will Be Rated R

Paramount tested two versions of Wirkola’s production with preview audiences. But in contradiction to early reports that suggested one tested version was PG-13, Collider says both of Paramount’s cuts were R-rated, and the studio reportedly will go forward with an edgier take on Witch Hunters early next year....

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters Pushed Back To 2013

This doesn't sound too good for the project. While the cast is great (with Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare, Zoe Bell, and Derek Mears on board), and Tommy Wirkola is an interesting choice as a director (you may know him as the filmmaker behind Dead Snow), January is a notorious dumping ground where studios release films that they don't feel have potential either critically or commercially....

Dear Hollywood: Stop Punishing Us For Liking Jeremy Renner By Making Us Sick Of Him

Right now we're not sick of Jeremy Renner-- but we're practically guaranteed to be after these four films are released within eight months of each other. Jeremy Renner will go almost instantly from "Hey, I'll see that guy in anything" to "Dear God, I'm sick of seeing that guy in everything."...

How Do You Turn Fairytale Characters Into Action Heroes? Black Leather

Peter Stormare is a classic "that guy" actor, showing up in seemingly five movies a year and always doing something different; he even popped up at the Super Bowl this year in the Budweiser Old West ad. Now he'll have a chance to bring a little villainy-- something he's very, very good at...

With a cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton and Famke Janssen and a plot revolving around the two gingerbread house survivors dedicating their lives to eradicating witches, it's hard not to be excited for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (it also doesn't hurt that it's being helmed by Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola)....
