Stereotype perpetuation for purposes of greed

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2013)

This is a horrible idea for a movie. I am condemning it, admittedly sight unseen, because it is a perpetuation of stereotypes that would be better consigned to "the dustbins of history." Witches are not evil women that kill and curse, but guardians of the goddess Gaia (Earth herself) and members of an earth-based religion that is as valid as any patriarchal religion. It is time for Hollywood and society as a whole to realize that and make a movie with a witch as (gasp) a hero. Anybody brave enough to do that? It does not matter who the "stars" are, what the "plot" is, or how much the studio spent on special effects. They are trying to turn back the clock to whip up more frenzy...to what end? The heroes kill "witches." Are they going to advocate burning real witches, perhaps as a publicity ploy?
