Paramount Delays Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

The highly anticipated sequel the the original story of Hansel and Gretel has just been given a major delay. Instead of coming out this March, it will now be pushed aaaaaallllll the wayyyyyy back a whole year from today.

You read that right, it’s been given a push from March 2nd of 2012 to the 11th of January 2013! This does not bode well for me. I’ll watch just about anything that features Jeremy Renner and Famke Janssen, but if you delay a movie for almost a year and drop it off into the dead zone that is January movie season, I can only say one thing…stinker.

It’s too bad because I was really looking forward to this film as it was a take on the original story that featured the duo becoming bounty hunters that tracked down other supernatural beings after their brush with death at the hands of the witch in the gingerbread house.

What do y’all think, does this have the touch of death all over it or should we just stop worrying?

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
