Tommy Wirkola plays with ‘Hansel & Gretel’

Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola will follow up his Sundance hit horror-comedy ‘Dead Snow’ with another in the same genre called ‘Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters’.

The concept that Wirkola pitched is basically to look into how the siblings have made out 15 years after their close call with the witch in the gingerbread house. As it turns out, they’ve become professional bounty hunters, specializing in tracking down witches.

Sanchez Productions’ Adam McKay and Will Ferrell have apparently gone nutty over the idea and are producing the project for Paramount. I have to admit, this movie sounds effing hilarious and I can’t wait to see what they do with the idea.
