Movie News – Hansel & Gretel

RYAN: I don’t know if you know this about me but my favorite fairy tale is Hansel & Gretel.

CAROLINE: I’m not surprised. You have a sweet tooth and you love witches, the story has both.

RYAN: And it’s been made into videos and movies before but now it’s getting a serious makeover from the likes of guess who?

CAROLINE: Dakota Fanning?

RYAN: [laughs’ No. But good guess. Will Ferrell.

CAROLINE: Ew. He’ll ruin it for you.

RYAN: I know. He’s part of a team of producers adapting the story where it will pick up 15 years after it ended in the popular fairy tale.

CAROLINE: So it’s a completely original story, based on the famed characters.

RYAN: Right. They’re planning an action/horror/comedy where the sibs become witch bounty hunters since being traumatized at the gingerbread house in childhood.

CAROLINE: If Will Ferrell plays Hansel I might have to skip it.

RYAN: I’ll have to see this no matter what. I hope it gets made after the writing process. I wouldn’t mind seeing the characters as adults, even if it’s cheesy as all get-out.
