Famke Janssen Talks Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

The AV Club spoke to the actress about her career and got her to touch on the film which opens in theaters January 25th.  Beyond admitting she is “excited, but yet nervous to see what it’ll turn out to be,” Janssen talked about the challenges of her role.

“Yes, I suppose, although what I found to be the most challenging part about it is that I didn’t have the freedom I normally felt as an actor. You have a team, literally, of people trailing your every move, because every time you open your mouth, something unglues and they need to be in there with a stick of glue to put it back together. So there’s that restriction and limitation, which I found difficult to work with. And then, also, you know your own face in a way that certain things, when you act, work and don’t work, and with that ugly makeup on your face, it’s a challenge. Like, how much or how little do you do, because the makeup does so much for you already? There were different challenges that came with it. But being that ugly, wow, that was a little new.”

Directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow), Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters takes place 15 years after the siblings’ incident at the gingerbread house. The two are now specialized bounty hunters looking to put down the cackling black-hat set.
