Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters trailer

I came home in Too Licked To LJ/Too Tired To Tumblr mode and went straight for a nap rather than the computer. Which means THIS has been out for hours and I DIDN'T KNOW, o the chaotic unfairness of the universe:




Omigod, it looks like a version of Van Helsing that actually gets the joke! That recognizes Shoot 'Em Up Action Fantasy film is a camp genre. (Which Van Helsing failed to do. Yes, I'm still bitter over that film.) Yay that this looks intentionally funny. Bring it!

Heee, this looks like fun. I'm a sucker for any interpretation of that story, too--it's always been one of my favorite fairy tales.

Oh. That looks like so much fun! And yea. Camp is the only way to do shoot em ups. My only complaint is that the girl has the bow and not Clint.

I am incredibly bitter about Van Helsing, as well. Same with Brothers Grimm (grrr...). This looks fun, though!

BTW - did I tell you that you successfully brainwa--- er...convinced me (regarding Renner)? You're merciless! ;-)

Love the hardware! It does look fun, but Oh Dear! Gretel's accent! What on earth is a girl from Gravesend doing with a down home Southern US drawl that's going to make even Americans laugh her off the screen?

I've just discovered him (missed a LOT this year, but spent The Bourne Legacy going mmmmm). Life is very good.

Oh dear. I feel I need this in my life.

Oooooooh. Renner looks even sexier than usual in this, y/y? :D

OMG, yes, Van Helsing was so disappointing on a vast number of levels. I even made it the subject of one of my Bullet Point Reviews. (http://valis2.livejournal.com/27925.html) I was looking forward to that movie SO much and then when I saw it, I just...could not believe the fail.

And yay! More Renner! This looks tasty!!

I am anticipating the truly twisted, glorious fic that is going to spring from this movie, but I'm glad to go into it knowing there's going to be humor. And Renner with a thigh-holster. Yeah.

This movie is going to be AWESOME!

"a version of Van Helsing that actually gets the joke! That recognizes Shoot 'Em Up Action Fantasy film is a camp genre."

THIS. This so much. I was going to see this anyway (because Renner), but having rewatched the trailer with that interpretation in mind just makes the movie a lot more awesome. Now I have something to be excited about while waiting for the UK DVD release of Avengers and the new Hawkeye solo :)
