Sneak Peek a poster and the first international and domestic trailers supporting Paramount's  R-rated $60 million budgeted action horror comedy feature, "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters", directed by Norwegian film-maker Tommy Wirkola. 


A 'continuation' of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, the new film, opening January 2013,  stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton with Famke Janssen as the leader of a coven of evil witches that the siblings must destroy :


"...catching up with 'Hansel' (Renner) and 'Gretel' (Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches.


"When the 'Mayor of Augsburg' recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen), who is planning to sacrifice people at the witches' gathering during the upcoming 'Blood Moon' night, the duo also has to deal with brutal 'Sheriff Berringer' (Peter Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg to conduct a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own..."



 Produced by Will Ferrell, Chris Henchy, Adam McKay and Kevin J. Messick, "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is from Gary Sanchez Productions, Spyglass Entertainment and MGM.
