Renner and Gemma Arterton star as the titular witch-hunting siblings and they're pitted against Famke Jansen's head witch, a delicious scenery-chewing performance from the otherworldly actress.
WITCH MOVIE MOVIE
Wait, what? Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters? As in the barely seen and swiftly forgotten Jeremy Renner movie with 15% on Rotten Tomatoes? Yep! Critics did Tommy Wirkola's weird and wildly camp action horror wrong when it arrived in theaters in 2013, and while it's strange B-movie brew certainly isn't for everyone, there are few witch movies that are so fearlessly tongue-in-cheek with the production value and quality casting on display here. But now, with further ado, here are my favorite witch movies for an enchanting Halloween. If you want something a little more family friendly, you can get your fill of witches in The Wizard of Oz (or it's creepier, witchier sequel Return to Oz), the spirited Studio Ghibli delight Kiki's Delivery Service, Matthew Vaughn's Neil Gaimanadaptation Stardust (which also stars Robert DeNiro as a queer sky pirate, so get on that), the charming Kim Novak classic Bell Book and Candle, or watch Angela Lansbury wield magic against the Nazis in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and of course, any of the Harry Potter films. If you're looking for horror, you can't go wrong with Mario Bava's Black Sunday, George Romero's Season of The Witch, Lucky McKee's The Woods, the recent Spanish horror comedy Witching & Bitching, or the silent fictionalized documentary Häxan, which is filled to the brim with iconic witchcraft imagery and really sets the mood with its hypnotic score. These are my personal favorites, and they're just scratching the surface. That said, Catherine Bell, James Denton, and Katherine Barrell, among others, are members of the Hallmark Channel family, and we are in discussions on future projects.But again, there's no shortage of great witch films out there. When Heavy asked the Hallmark Channel if there was a chance they might air another “Good Witch” movie one day, Hallmark told Heavy, “We have no immediate plans for another ‘Good Witch’ movie. We also extend our gratitude and thanks to the entire cast and crew for their dedication and hard work. Sam Radford has added so much charm and humor to the series. We thank our leads whose chemistry and talent made ‘Good Witch’ such a beloved and uniquely special viewing experience: Catherine Bell, who has brought the inimitable Cassie Nightingale to life for 13 years, and James Denton, who as Dr.
‘Good Witch’ has enchanted viewers for over a decade with eight original movies, in addition to the seven-season series. When the cancelation was announced, Randy Pope, SVP of programming and development, said in a statement: “We didn’t know we were not coming back, but there were two options.
WITCH MOVIE SERIES
The cast and crew did not know that the series was going to be canceled, but they had an ending planned that wrapped everything up nicely without any cliffhangers just in case it was needed. According to Bell and Denton, two different endings were filmed for the final episode. In a Facebook Live discussion, James Denton (who plays Sam) and Bell answered fan questions about the series. The final episode of “Good Witch” aired in July. She’s also starred in “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “A Summer to Remember,” “Christmas in the Air,” “High-Rise Rescue,” “Home for Christmas Day,” “The Do-Over,” “The Bandit Hound,” “Army Wives” (Denise), “The Triangle,” “JAG” (Sarah), “Bruce Almighty” and more.
In 2020, in addition to “Good Witch,” Bell starred in Hallmark’s “Meet Me at Christmas” with Mark Deklin and Luke Bilyk. However, this doesn’t mean that one of the movies listed is the one that Bell is working on. Johnson Production Group has a number of movies currently listed on IMDb as being announced, in pre-production, or filming, including “A Suburban Affair,” “Fugitive Brides,” “I Do,” “Caught in His Web,” and “Psycho Swim Instructor.” Annuit Coeptis Entertainment II doesn’t have any listed on IMDb since 2018. The movie was produced by Johnson Production Group and Annuit Coeptis Entertainment II. This might be a hint that the same company that produced Krakow’s movie is now producing Bell’s movie for Lifetime. The poster was for “A Cookie Cutter Christmas” from 2014 that aired on the Hallmark Channel.
