Now finally the project has a writer to take Wirkola's idea and smooth it out a bit: Dante Harper. Harper's last genre film was Black Hole, which David Fincher has been developing (also at Paramount). But as for H&G: Witch Hunters, "[Wirkola] pitched and plotted out the story line, which picks up the fairy-tale siblings 15 years after their traumatic gingerbread house incident, which provoked them to become witch bounty hunters. Sanchez execs Kevin Messick, Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, and Chris Henchy are producing the horror-action comedy, which is pitched as having a gory-but-funny 'Shaun of the Dead' vibe." - Uncle Creepy VISIT THE EVILSHOP @ AMAZON!

The flick delivered on all counts; yet, it performed really badly at the box office. We can only hazard a guess that the damage done by the abysmal Part V left audiences so cold that the new film was something they weren't going to bank on this year. David Hackl, director of Part V, now has a date for redemption with his new flick Saw VII 3D.
