Hansel and Gretel Moved to 2013

Paramount has pushed Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters back to January 11, 2013. The film starring Jeremy Renner (The Avengers) and Gemma Arterton (Wrath of the Titans) was originally slated for March 2, 2012.

While such moves are often indicators of problems with the movie in this case its a desire to capitalize on the anticipated growing star power of Jeremy Renner after the release of The Avengers.
