Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D movie premiere;
Sydney, Australia...
Hansel & Gretel enjoyed its Australian red carpet
premiere tonight at Event Cinemas, George Street, in front of a news media pack
of dozens, hundreds of Australian fans, and dozens of security to help control
all of the excitement.
"Hansel & Gretel" is a 3-D action flick that
reimagines the fairy tale characters as gun-toting badasses played by Jeremy
Renner and Gemma Arterton.
The $50 million film arrived nearly a year after its
originally release date. It's off to a decent start with numbers and buzz, but
has attracted quite the mixed popcorn bag of reviews. Most fans have rated it
with a CinemaScore of "B". Approval rating is 18%.
Here in Australia Paramount Pictures has got right behind
the project, and one would think is hoping that the Australian market will
generally be more positive and receptive to the film than its friends in the
United States and Europe.
If you are a big Hansel & Gretel fan, you will likely
want to see this movie. If not...
Promo...
After getting a taste for blood as children, Hansel (Jeremy
Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) have become the ultimate vigilantes, hell
bent on retribution. Now, unbeknownst to them, Hansel and Gretel have become
