Hansel And Gretel: Witchhunters 2 Gets A New Director
Paramount Pictures have chosen French director Bruno Aveillan to helm Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters 2. The original films director Tommy Wirkola decided to exit the film after having written the script, which seemed to have put the sequel in jeopardy. But with Aveillan coming on board the studio is now looking for a writer to do some re-writes and get things moving forward.
Both Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are expected to return.
The first film didn't do well with critics who condemned the script and excessive violence, but movie goers seemed to disagree as it brought in $226 million worldwide.
Aveillan is an interesting choice as he hasn't made an major films, but is internationally renowned for his photography and commercial work.
