That's why there has to be a hotter-than-her female in the story. C'mon man, think of the possibilities. The daughter of the terrified mayor, some hunter they meet in the woods - a la The Brothers Grimm... And every woman is going to look like a whore with the excuse of the time period. So really you XY'ers have it on us double XX's.
Hopeully shall be sufficient eye candy for me, they've got to cook up a good romance for Gretel as well, unless they turn her into a Diana the Huntress character. Ugh. Don't do it Hollywood! Bring it home for the man-lovers. Hans is a nice snack, now cough it up.
Been reading this movie has been pushed to January 2013 now and there's also two versions of the movie an R-rated & PG-13.. Paramount's not sure which one to release
and some IMDB commenters who claim to have attended test screenings (and so really shouldn't be talking about this, legally speaking) have stepped forward to compare the two movies. Here's one reaction:I can't say a lot because of agreements with the company, Overall I will say that I really enjoyed this one. It was different, violent, pretty funny — Sort of like Drive Angry 3D or Scott Pilgrim humor, and I thought everyone did well. It kind of felt like they nailed the ancient humor the way ‘Your Highness' was supposed too but didn't. I went to the R-Rated version, I haven't seen an PG-13 version and I didn't even think they were cutting it up to be that, I hope they go back to the R Version because that was one hell of a fun movie. A PG-13 version would just ruin everything.
And here's another:
The first one was definitely the Rated R version. Good humor, good action, great fight scenes, awesome dynamic between Renner and Arterton. I loved it so much the first time, I made a group of friends go to the second screening the next week. But the next week, they had heavily edited it and turned it into a PG-13 film. If they keep it R, it's gonna be great. Silly, but actiony and fun. If it's PG13, it won't be worth it. Let's hope it's an R rating.
For a second I was so positive that Gemma Arterton was actually the girl from, "THE GOOD WIFE". Fairtales are probably being remade because most people grew up listening to these stories so they dont have to come up with something new that people might not like.
This movie is dubbed action comedy horror film; so it should be something like the movie Your Highness (2011). Tommy Wirkola the film maker is a Norwegian filmmaker and hasn't got that many credits under his belt so it will be interesting what he does with this story.
