Paramount testing R-rated & PG-13 rated versions of Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters

Tommy Wirkola's HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS doesn't hit until January 11th, which gives Paramount ample time to figure out who to market the film to. The Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton (below) action fantasy is said to have a mix of comedic tone and violent imagery, so much so that in test screenings, both a PG-13 cut and a R-rated cut have been shown. Oh, and the flick was quietly post-converted to 3D. Never a good sign...

Per a thread from The Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide, here are a few samples of what audience members have seen:

"I can’t say a lot because of agreements with the company, Overall I will say that I really enjoyed this one. It was different, violent, pretty funny- Sort of like Drive Angry 3D or Scott Pilgrim humor, and I thought everyone did well. It kind of felt like they nailed the ancient humor the way ‘Your Highness’ was supposed too but didn’t." - User RickCastle

"The first one was definitely the Rated R version. Good humor, good action, great fight scenes, awesome dynamic between Renner and Arterton. I loved it so much the first time, I made a group of friends go to the second screening the next week. But the next week, they had heavily edited it and turned it into a PG-13 film. If they keep it R, it’s gonna be great. Silly, but actiony and fun. If it’s PG13, it won’t be worth it. Let’s hope it’s an R rating." - user pyromaniac975

Rockt. 8-)

Sieht mir zu sehr nach Van Helsing aus.

"VH" war/ist großer Rotz - das weiß ja im Grunde jeder. Der hier dagegen rockt schon vom Trailer her deutlich mehr, die CGIs sehen besser aus - und er hat (u.a.) ein R-Rating vorzuweisen (spätestens auf BluRay). Testvorführungen liefen zudem positiv ab (zumindest bei der uncut-Fassung). Hört sich also alles nicht nach einer Katastrophe á la "VH" an...

Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist Renner der bisher jeden guten Film den ich mit ihm gesehen habe (u.a. Hurt Locker, Town, Avengers, Dahmer) zu veredeln wusste. Für mich gehört er mit Gosling, Fassbender und Hardy zu den besten Schauspielern der "neuen" Generation.

Na ich lasse mich gerne eines Besseren belehren. Erwartungen hab ich trotzdem keine. Den Trailer von Van Helsing fand ich damals auch gut und ein bisschen CGI Blut hat noch keinen Film gerettet.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Sequel Planned
Source: Deadline, March 18, 2013

Paramount Pictures has plans to develop a sequel to one of this year's international box office hits. Deadline reports that work has begun on a follow-up to Tommy Wirkola's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Although the horror-actioner was a disappointment at the domestic box office (grossing only $55 million), it fared far better overseas, earning $151.2 million for a worldwide total of $205.8 million. The film cost about $50 million to make, not counting marketing expenses.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters stars Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare, Derek Mears and Thomas Mann. Set 15 years after the eponymous siblings' incident at the gingerbread house, the two are now specialized bounty hunters looking to put down the cackling black-hat set.

There is currently no talent announced for the sequel, but check back for details as soon as they become available.
