International Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters poster adds a little Famke Janssen

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

And a “little” Famke is all you’re going to get in this Asian poster for the upcoming fantasy-horror flick. Otherwise, the design is pretty much the same as the domestic one-sheet that we saw unveiled last month.

Tommy Wirkola’s HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS will finally be released in January after a long wait, and we’re frankly very curious to take it in. (I’m personally still as dubious as ever.)

Catching up with Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, the siblings became expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them.

The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches’ gathering during the upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer (Peter Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.

HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS opens on January 25th.
