According to our friends at SlashFilm today two prime time actors have been named for lead roles. Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Avengers, the new Mission: Impossible) and Nooomi Rapace, famous from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo are being rumored to be locked in.

This film is expected to begin shooting at the end of the year and from all we've heard this could possibly turn into a trilogy picture. Getting two high caliber actors of this nature for this type of film is great news while Adam McKay and his Gary Sanchez Productions got the film going at Paramount. McKay said early on,
"The idea is (HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS), they’ve grown up and they hunt witches. It’s a hybrid sort of old-timey feeling, yet there’s pump-action shotguns. Modern technology but in an old style. We heard it and we were just like, ‘That’s a freakin’ franchise! You could make three of those!"
Again were do we sign? Stay locked as we get more information on what potentially could be the feel good movie of 2011.
