Gemma Arterton To Play 'Gretel' In 'Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters'



Gemma Arterton, the current British 'go-to girl' for a plethora of recent movies, has nabbed a leading part in a new Tommy Wirkola directed movie which is a new take on the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale where the brother and sister team-up to become bounty hunters following the traumatic events of their younger years at the hands of the candy-house-child-eating witch...

Jeremy Renner (set to star as Hawkeye in the 2012 Avengers movie) is said to be playing Hansel and it's been described as a 'dark action movie with elements of swords and sorcery'... Reminds me of that 2005 Brothers Grimm movie starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger... Hopefully it'll be better than that though!
