Hansel and Gretel are Now Witch Hunters

From the director of Dead Snow



Tommy Wirkola is following up his snowbound Nazi zom-com Dead Snow with Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

According to THR, the Norwegian director’s idea focuses on “the poor siblings 15 years after that whole gingerbread house incident. Simply put, they’re now specialized bounty hunters looking to put down the cackling black-hat set.”

Wirkola is currently working on an outline for the producers at the Paramount-based Gary Sanchez Productions (run by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay). The project is being groomed as a potential franchise and is said to have a Shaun of the Dead and Evil Dead 2 vibe.

IFC releases Dead Snow here in the States on June 12th.
