Hansel And Gretel: Witchhunters 2 Gets A New Director
Paramount Pictures have chosen French director Bruno Aveillan to helm Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters 2. The original films director Tommy Wirkola decided to exit the film after having written the script, which seemed to have put the sequel in jeopardy. But with Aveillan coming on board the studio is now looking for a writer to do some re-writes and get things moving forward.

Aveillan is an interesting choice as he hasn't made an major films, but is internationally renowned for his photography and commercial work.
