 Gemma Arterton joins Jeremy Renner in Hansel & Gretel
"Gemma Arterton is said to have been cast as Gretel, the female lead in the upcoming Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters in a story at Variety.
Arterton's Gretel, an older version of the classic folklore character works, along with her brother, Hansel (Jeremy Renner), as a bounty hunter specializing in bringing down witches.
Though earlier reports suggested that the role of Gretel would go to Noomi Rapace, plans seem to have changed in Arterton's favor.
Variety also provides an update on the production, suggesting that filming will take place in the eight weeks between the currently-shooting Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol and Renner's next major project, The Avengers."http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=73007___________________________________________________________________________ Yay!

Great news. This will be fun. Good casting - she's hot.

She's hot but very bland as an actress. So unmemorable in both Prince and Clash last year.

Yes, but she was very good in Alice Creed.

 Re: Gemma Arterton joins Jeremy Renner in Hansel & Gretel
Don't know. Haven't seen it. But this project is more similar to her two bland performances that the drama/thriller mix of Alice Creed, so I'm guessing she won't have a good turn her either.

 Re: Gemma Arterton joins Jeremy Renner in Hansel & Gretel
Well, but at least she could have some sort of a legit action role here and do something. She was nothing but eye candy (albeit a good one) in Clash and PoP.

I have never seen Noomi but I'd rather see her in this role. At least that would seem as a more inspired pick than the safe bet Emma (pretty and delivers unoffensive performance).
