It’s fairy tale adaptation madness out there. We’ve got two new TV series exploring a conglomeration of iconic tales, two Snow White movies going head-to-head and much more. How to stand out in such a whirlwind of retellings? Throw a pot-peddling witch into the mix.
Director Duane Journey’s Hansel and Gretel & the 420 Witch is a modern retelling of the beloved fairytale which finds a rebellious Gretel (Molly C. Quinn) and her clean-cut brother Hansel (Michael Welch) going up against a local witch (Lara Flynn Boyle) that lures her victims in using a new blend of marijuana called Black Forest Night.
Not only did we get the chance to talk to Hansel himself about working on the film, but we’ve got five exclusive stills to boot! Check it all out for yourself below.
Movies.com : You rose to fame via Twilight, but you’ve definitely kept yourself busy with other projects, too. Why add this one to your growing resume?
Michael Welch: I was really drawn to the originality and creativity of this project. I think Edgar Wright really created a new genre of filmmaking by mixing a bunch of genres together and really paying tribute to them seriously, but almost creating a whole new world and I feel like that’s what this movie does. If we do our jobs right, the feel of the film should be very quirky and funny, but also very scary and disturbing as well. So ultimately we’re just trying to make a really entertaining movie and I think we’re doing that.
