FIRST OFFICIAL PIC OF HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS

I suppose the faux-emo gothic geeks have to have something to keep them sated between Underworld sequels. Ugh.

What's the over-under on this being better than The Brothers Grimm?

Saw this pic in EW, and my interest in this project couldn't be lower. I feel so disconnected from today's pop culture. I mean, yes, this is a soulless studio project in the first place, but I don't think there would ever have been a time in my life, even during my tempestuous teenage years, where a HANSEL AND GREDLE monster hunting film would have seemed like a good idea. The regular story is so much darker and more interesting, a Del Torro adaptation might Getty hopes up, but this kind of "clever" reimagining leaves me cold

BTW: Gemma Artington is just awful by every objective measure. The fact she is still turning up in big budget stuff like this astounds me. How did POPTSOT not wound her appeal with the studios? I don't get it

PS: for those in the mood for a creepy tale of witches and children, be sure to check out HECKEDY PEG from your local library. It's a frightening volume, to say the least, and the illustrations are marvelous and haunting 

Looks like some nu-metal band's getting a sweet soundtrack gig winging their way sometime soon.

This is a Hard-R?

Yeah, can't imagine anyone REALLY wants this, right?

Ugh.  I won't write it off until I see some footage, but that does not look good.

Is there *any* chance that Gretel ends up naked and writhing around in jelly here?

Me too. I'll blind-buy this one at a Blockbuster 3 for $20 sale.

No one pipe up with the "I'd shove my child-eating monster into Gemma's blazing oven" innuendo? Well, here ya go.
