Movie Review: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is the soon-to-be-released action horror comedy movie that is co-written by Dante Harper, and has been directed by Tommy Wirkola. Due to the fact that this movie if Dante Harper's screenwriting debut, there are many persons who are skeptical about whether or not this film will be a hit in theaters. However, you can read this movie review to find out if it is worth watching when it is finally released.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is actually a continuation to the Brothers Grimm film Hansel and Gretel. The leading roles will be played by Gemma Arterton (Gretel) and Jeremy Renner (Hansel), while Famke Janssen will play the role of the leader of a coven of malignant witches whom Hansel and Gretel wish to destroy.

There is not much that can be said about this film; however, this movie review can tell you that the movie will show the lives of Hansel and Gretel approximately fifteen years after they had the gingerbread house incident. Both Hansel and Gretel are now bounty hunters who have dedicated their lives to destroying evil witches. Through the years, the siblings have become expert hunters who are well known for destroying and tracking down witches. Even though they are still recovering from the incident at the gingerbread house, they find their bounty hunter work very easy as for reasons unknown to them dangerous curses and spells do not work very well against them.

Movie Review: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

In Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters the Mayor of Augsburg has asked the siblings to save the nearby forests and the town from an evil sorceress (played by Janssen), who plans to offer several of the local children as sacrifices in approximately two days, when the witches gather for Blood Moon night. To make the hunt even more difficult, Hansel and Gretel have to deal with Sheriff Berringer (played by Stormare) who has taken over the town of Augsburg, and has started his own chaotic witch hunt.

Something that ought to be said in this movie review is that Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is nothing like your typical fairytale story; it has been labeled as an action adventure horror film for a reason. Even though the idea of the siblings growing up to become witch hunters has an old-time ring to it, modern technology is also showcased in the film as there are times when you will see some intense pump-action shotgun moments.

This movie is scheduled to be released in 3D and 2D theaters on March 2, 2012 in the United States, and hopefully this movie review has given you a good idea of what to expect from this film.

Independent Film Producer? 5 Basic Tips to Become a Success and Make a Profit

So you want to make money as an independent film producer. Do you even know what it takes to get a film completed? There is an old adage in Hollywood, that it takes "an extreme amount of talent to make even a bad movie". With that in mind, making a movie is a daunting task and each and every day, movies are being made and sold to a variety of audiences.

Just because you have a story or a screenplay and the talent to make a movie doesn't necessarily mean you can make money with the film. Today there is a plethora of movies being made: and among those being made, only a small percentage of the films actually make any money for their independent producers.

Sure if you make a movie for ,000 and get a deal that is worth millions such as "Paranormal Activity" you definitely will make money. But "Paranormal Activity" is the exception not the rule. Plus the advertising budget for that film was in the tens of millions of dollars. With that type of promotional dollars the movie was bound to make the filmmakers money.

Independent Film Producer? 5 Basic Tips to Become a Success and Make a Profit

So what can you do to make sure your film is a success? And can you do it without spending your inheritance? Well yes and no. Audiences are fickle. Make a movie you think is great still may flop because no one watches it.

Keep your eye on the goal: to make money as an independent producer. If you have never made a film before and are out to set the world on fire, good luck. It probably will not happen. And if your goal is to make a living as an independent producer you must follow a few basic rules towards that goal.

First of all have a great story and after you turn it into a script have someone advise you on it. The story must have a beginning, middle and an end. Sounds easy and straight forward, but it isn't always the case. First time filmmakers (and those that aren't first timers) are typically shooting too much and editing too long and lose the impact of a good story by putting in too much material

Second keep your budget low and use actors that know how to act. This usually means getting actors that have credentials and have been in films before. If you can't afford to use SAG actors then ask local community theaters for actors and beg them to be in your film for the experience.

Third, rehearse and rehearse again. This is related to keeping your budget low and being able to put money where it counts. Rehearsing is one area that can keep the number of takes to a minimum.

Fourth, start looking for a distributor or sales agent before you start to film. If you have not talked with a distributor before you start your film do so now.

And finally, keep a good paper trail. Many films are never distributed because the producer had hand shake deals with everyone. That may work in school, but in the real world it doesn't work.

These are just a few tips to get you on the road to success as an Independent Producer...In fact this barely scrapes the surface of the process. For more info email me with questions. Check out the resource box below.
