Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
is an another Brothers Grimm's well know fairytale, which been created as a
movie, but from other angle. This movie's storyline has a different twist from
original storyline. In original story,
kids just kill The Witch, which want to eat them and live happily ever after,
but in the movie after this kill, they become witch hunters.
As other example of Brother
Grimm's fairytales, I could mention 'Red riding hood (2011), in original story
there is wolf, which only goes after Red ridding hood, but in the movie there
is no wolf, instead of wolf audience see glimpses of werewolf, which goes after
whole village, not Red riding hood anyone.
Second example could be ' Mirror
Mirror (2011)' other well know fairytale about girl name Snow white, which has
skin white as snow and hair dark as night. In original storyline, Queen wants
to kill Snow white, because she wants to be most beautiful woman in the
kingdom. However, in the movie, Queen is broke and she wants to kill Snow
white, because she wants to get married to rich prince, which fall in love with
Snow white. She thinks that by killing Snow white, she will be rich again.
So I as I see from these three
examples of the fairytales all of their storylines been changed to attract more
audience.
Poster
In the poster i could see both main characters of the movie Hanzel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel(Gemma Arterton).However, Gemma is only co-star in his movie, but in both poster I could see her infront of Jeremy. I start thinking that producer aim more to men audience than to the women audience. Basically, because I could see Gemma standing with the crossbow in her while she is wearing sexy leather jacket, which shows her breast.
You have not really discussed how the the producers market the film to reach the targeted audience. You need to go back and re-cap on the presentation because this post is not passable.
