I don’t know how I feel about this movie, but I do know I want to see it. It’s not very often that we’ll see such a fun and innovative idea. Here we have Hansel and Gretel from the old Gingerbread house story we all grew up with. It’s fifteen years AFTER this incident and now the brother and sister are bad ass bounty hunters out to mess up some witches. How cool of an idea is that? That’s awesome. It could be really cool if done right. I’m somewhat confident it will be. My problem is the odd casting. I’m not sold on Jeremy Renner yet and I don’t think I know anything about Gemma Arterton. I’m still open minded so for all I know this could be the movie that makes me their biggest fan. We also get Famke Janssen in a supporting role of some sort. That’s a welcomed addition to any movie. I’m really curious about the high concept story idea, but I’m compelled by the casting. This could be the coolest thing ever or one of the worst. We’ll see…
