Some new images from Tommy Wirkola's Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters have cropped up.  If you caught the latest red-band trailer for the flick, you know that Jeremy Renner (The Avengers) and Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia) are seeking to exterminate witches with their own brand of gratuitous vengeance.  These new images give a good look at the characters and their weapons (is that Looper's Blunderbuss?) as well as co-stars Peter Stormare (Fargo) and Thomas Mann (Project X).  Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters opens on January 25th.  Hit the jump to check out the new images.Click on any of the following images from Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters to view in hi-res:

Here’s the synopsis for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Catching up with Hansel (Renner) and Gretel (Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, the siblings became expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them.

The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches’ gathering during the upcoming ‘Blood Moon’ night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer (Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.
