Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters trailer

[amanuensis1]

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!

"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 :)

I can imagine that there will be parts that are more seriously presented but the fact that they went into self-poking humor at all with the trailer is a fabulous sign. YES!
