Paramount Schedules 'Hansel & Gretel 3D' For March 2, 2012; MGM Co-Financing

The Tommy Wirkola-directed Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters at Paramount Pictures is now set for a March 2, 2012, release date.�We hear the budget is pegged at $60 million and that MGM will co-finance because it's now run by the Spyglass Entertainment guys and they had a close relationship with Paramount for years. (Besides, MGM's co-financing deal with Sony Picrures isn't exclusive.) Paramount will take worldwide theatrical and home entertainment and domestic television rights, while MGM will handle international television.�Hansel & Gretel 3D stars�Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the title characters who, 15 years after their narrow fairy tale escape from the gingerbread house, become specialized bounty-hunters looking to take down the witches that almost killed them.�Famke Janssen will play the leader of the witches. The movie is being produced by Will Ferrell, Chris Henchy, Adam McKay, and Kevin J. Messick.
