As Paramount tires to put a dark but straight-faced spin on the Grimm brothers’ HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS, it seems a threesome of indie companies are joining forces the opposite way…
According to Variety, a new stoner horror flick called BLACK FOREST: HANSEL AND GRETEL & THE 420 WITCH is being developed by KK&P, Dark Highway Films and Uptik Entertainment. Nope, I ain’t joking!
Written by David Tillman, the film revolves around a witch living in Pasadena who lures teens into her house with a special blend of marijuana so she can eat them in order to maintain her youth.
F*ck a witch, that’s my dream woman!
Word is Duane Journey is directing, with an eyed November 2012 start date. Lara Flynn Boyle (below) will play the titular witch, with Michael Welch (TWILIGHT) and Molly Quinn (“Castle,” seen above) playing the two siblings who get lured.
