Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) and Lars Knudsen have boarded the Hansel & Gretel movie as executive producers through their company Square Peg, according to Variety. The film will “twist the fairy tale into inimitable shapes.”

Chilean filmmakers Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña (The Hyperboreans) are directing. León and Cociña are known for their experimental techniques, which can be seen if their previous film, The Wolf House, as well as their work on Ari Aster’s, Beau Is Afraid.

“It’s our very personal adaptation of the classic fairy tale, with the main difference that Hansel and Gretel are both boys in this version, at least at the beginning of the story,” Cristóbal León explained. In this telling, “the story itself gets lost,” León added.

Speaking of the filmmakers, Aster told Variety, “Cociña and León are among the true originals working in animation right now. You can trace their sensibility back to several artists of the uncanny, but there is no real analogue for the effect that their work produces in the viewer.”
