The story you know hides a dark secret.
Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and Orion Pictures put a new spin on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale with Gretel & Hansel, which stars IT and IT: Chapter Two star Sophia Lillis as Gretel. The film won’t be released until early next year, but for now you can follow the crumbs to check out the first trailer below.
EW recently detailed the film’s plot: “[Gretel] and her younger brother (Sammy Leakey) leave home during a time of pestilence and famine. On their travels they encounter a kindly huntsman (Charles Babalola) before finding solace in the home of an elderly woman (Alice Krige) whose motives may not be altogether pure.”
Rob Hayes wrote the script. Orion is releasing Gretel & Hansel on January 31, 2020.
