Director Osgood “Oz” Perkins (Blackcoat’s Daughter) puts a terrifying twist on a classic tale in the first clip from Gretel & Hansel starring Sophia Lillis (IT Chapter 2).
In the film, a young girl leads her little brother into the dark woods in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.
Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact) also stars along with Jessica De Gouw (WGN’s “Underground,” The CW’s “Arrow”), Charles Babalola (Netflix’s “Black Mirror,” The Legend of Tarzan) and newcomer Sammy Leakey as Hansel.
Gretel & Hansel was written by Rob Hayes (Netflix’s “Chewing Gum”) and produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Sinister, Upgrade) and Fred Berger (La La Land, Destroyer) on behalf of Automatik. Sandra Yee Ling and Macdara Kelleher executive produced.
Gretel & Hansel debuts in theaters on January 31, 2020, from Orion Pictures.
