RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Martin]

And digging further into Slashfilm I've discovered this gem:

A Hansel and Gretel movie as witch hunters, with Jeremy Renner and uberhot Gemma Arterton as the leads and (also uberhot) Framke Janssen and Peter Stormare as villain?

YES PLEASE

[FilmNerdJamie]

Gotta be honest. That sounds up there in full-retard level of movie ideas like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Mighty Morphin Reagan Conservatives.

[Abraham Smashington]

Wasn't that the premise of The Brothers Grimm or something?

[Matt]

Gotta be honest. That sounds up there in full-retard level of movie ideas like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Mighty Morphin Reagan Conservatives.

Agreed 100%. AL:VH should be a 5 minute short-film on youtube, nothing more. Stretching that 'concept' out to feature-film length sounds excrutiating.

[FilmNerdJamie]

FYI. No such thing as Mighty Morphin Reagan Conservatives. Yet.

[Matt]

I know...thank God.

[FilmNerdJamie]

What unfortunately isn't real is the Saturday morning cartoon The Siskel & Ebert Mysteries or the live-action summer blockbuster Siskel & Ebert Save the World!

[Matt]

J.K. Simmons as Siskel, please. He nailed the part in 'The Ref'.

[Ed Hocken]

Somewhere there exists a tv movie featuring Robbie Coltrane as Ebert.

And yes, he would fuck people up.

[FilmNerdJamie]

They walk over the henchmen they've shot down and give them a thumbs down. And finish them off.

[Ed Hocken]

I'd like to think the thumbs is given after they the two of them punch out the asshole Captain/IA/Politican's aid who has done nothing but stymie their efforts the entire time.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Played by Kurt Fuller.

[Matt]

I'd watch the hell out of that movie.

ONCE.

[Matt]

ah crap, I just remembered...we already got Siskel and Ebert in a summer blockbuster: 'Godzilla'.

[Ed Hocken]

Ebert said it best after watching that movie and asked if you had us be antagonists, why didn't you have Godzilla squish us?
