Hansel and Gretel Writer Tapped

It's been awhile since we have heard anything about Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Today however it looks like the film is finally taking off and will soon be on the move again. THR reports that Dante Harper has been hired to take a crack at the script.

"Dead Snow" co-writer/director Tommy Wirkola is helming the project for Gary Sanchez Prods. and Paramount. The Norwegian pitched and plotted out the story line, which picks up the fairy-tale siblings 15 years after their traumatic gingerbread house incident, which provoked them to become witch bounty hunters.

Sanchez execs Kevin Messick, Adam McKay, Will Ferrell and Chris Henchy are producing the horror-action comedy, which is pitched as having a gory-but-funny "Shaun of the Dead" vibe.
