Seriously…I have been waiting over a year to see something just anything for this movie. Even becoming on my list of films to see for this year because I built it up in my mind as an awesome action flick with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton killing witches. I really want to believe this film will be action/comedy/horror all the way in the right ways..but I still have some faith in it after the trailer. The film will for sure have a b-movie feel to it with the overused one-liners and shots.
Also, the film really feels like a spin-off of Terry Gilliam's Brother Grimm with atmosphere, shots, humor, even Peter Stomare in it. I don't believe it to all be bad so lets give it a shot shall we. Here is the trailer for yourself and poster,
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. 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 (Famke 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 goes to theaters on January 11, 2013
2012 is here and It will be full of huge blockbusters of all sorts. I won't be surprised if this year will break records in all categories. Here is a list of some of the biggest anticipated films in order of release date not rank. My number one ranked film is The Dark Knight Rises for your information (the 8 times I'll see it will prove that.)
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (March 2)
This isn't that child fairytale we have all been told by our grandparents, this is a brutal action film that will hopefully be awesome. Not to much has been revealed on the film, even though the release is 3 months away. This is a bit scary but I'll give anything with Jeremy Renner a fighting chance. A trailer should be released very soon. Keep a look out.
21 Jump Street (March 16)
Jonah Hill skinny. Enough said. Seriously though it can get tiring with having old 80s sitcoms being made into movies but with comedy angle to it. Some work, most have no chance. I will give this movie a chance with a great cast and a pretty good story. After watching the red band trailer, you will want to see this film too.
The Hunger Games (March 23)
This is the next big teen blockbuster to take the reigns from Twilight or so they hope. The story is actually pretty promising for more than just girls this time. Also, they have some good actors in this movie. So check it out in March.
American Reunion (April 6)
The next chapter in the popular American Pie series, but this one will return to the original cast and theaters again. I'm excited to see Stifler and everyone back for a high school reunion. Trailer proves there is some pretty crazy things going on since the last time and crazy things will happen.
The Cabin in the Woods (April 13)
Finally!! Finally this movie will be released in theaters. After years of being delayed and pushed back and converted in 3D it will hit theaters in a few months. Joss Whedon will be having a great year with 2 movies being released within a few months of each other. Cabin is a twisted horror like movie that I think will turn out really well done.
The Avengers (May 4)
Quite easily the biggest film of 2012 to comic book nerds. It will bring all of The Avengers together for the first time and it will be glorious. I get more Iron Man and more Hawkeye, what more is there for me. Just be ready for when they assemble.
Prometheus (June 8)
Nothing can really be known about this movie other than it will be along the lines of Alien. The trailer even makes it seem like a remake or reboot or prequel. You choose. The actors are all phenomenal and this will be a movie that will make believers out of the doubters.
The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3)
Bless Marc Webb for rebooting Spider-Man into what looks like a spectacular movie. The series really needed to go back to the high-school years and explore that era. This film has the talent to make that happen perfectly. Also, I can't wait to take my girlfriend to see it.
The Dark Knight Rises (July 20)
I have waited years for this film to finally get released. I mean years. This is the end of the best superhero trilogy of all time, and I think it will go out with a huge bang. The trailer gives up chills and it will be a huge hit. I'll let you know how it is after a few (8 at least) times of seeing it.
The Bourne Legacy (August 3)
After 3 really amazing Bourne movies it is time to move on to the next assassin and it's the amazing Renner again. His 3rd movie on my list and I suspect he will have an amazing year with his films. Not much is known about the film other than it's not a sequel or reboot, but a story set in same universe. So I am very intrigued.
NO PIC OR TRAILER YET
(TBA)
The Hobbit (December 14)
After the extremely amazing (long) Lord of the Rings trilogy is finished, we felt like we needed a sequel of some sorts. Well, we will be blessed with a prequel that is full of adventure and dwarfs. The story is so grand we will need 2 films. (Thank god it is not 3 this time) The film looks epic to say the least.
This is a very opinionated list from me and I know there are plenty of movies that everyone is looking forward to see. So list yours down below, may it be (hopefully not) Twilight or another major film.
