New Brazilian Poster for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

There's nothing subtle about this new Brazilian poster for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (right; click for larger image). Titled João & Maria in Brazil ("John & Mary"), the tagline is "Um conto clássico … Uma nova versão" ("A classic tale … A new version").

Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton star as Hansel and Gretel 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house. The siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, they have become expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them.

The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Famke Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches' gathering during the upcoming "Blood Moon" night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer (Peter Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.

Paramount released a red-band (age-restricted) trailer for the film about a month ago, which we don't think we featured here, so we've embedded a copy of it below. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters opens in US (and Brazil) theaters January 25th, 2013.
