Hansel and Gretel 2.0

Remember the breadcrumbs? The ginger bread house? And those two little children?
Yeah, well, you can forget about that. There is a new version of Hansel and Gretel on its way.
The title is 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' and it's exactly as (bad and weird as) it sounds. The story line says:

Catching up with Hansel and Gretel 15 years after their incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into bounty hunters who hunt witches.

Excuse me, but, they've evolved into bounty hunters? Seriously, that's what they make of Hansel and Gretel? Is Hollywood really so desperate for ideas that they trie just anything?

The leads of the two adorable children who are now apparantly Boba Fett and Domino Harvey will be played by Gemma Arterton (Tamara Drewe) and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker). On this I don't have much to say because I haven't seen any movies with either of them (I do see Gemma's G-Star Raw posters everywhere).
To not completely make this a complaint-post there is one thing I am excited about, Famke Janssen is going to play the witch. Now I'm not an extremely big fan of her but, she's Dutch, I'm Dutch; you've gotta have each others back, right?
