'Hansel And Gretel' Go Slightly NSFW In New Red Band Trailer

By Hannah Soo Park

Sorry haters, but putting a violent spin on sugar-sweet fairytales is one trend Hollywood isn't letting go of anytime soon.

The live-action reboot concept made a splash again last summer with "Snow White and the Huntsman," and kicking off this year's list of anticipated childhood-favorites-turned-badass-action-movies is "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," which just debuted a new red band trailer on Collider. So brace yourself for plenty of ridiculous blood, gore and sex--all of which aren't suitable for work, obviously.

Check out the new NSFW trailer after the jump!

Narrated by Jeremy Renner's Hansel, the preview gives us a better idea of the leather-donning duo's backstory before they became bounty hunters looking to spill witch blood. NSFW content aside, we get a taste of the movie's somewhat lighthearted tone in Hansel and Gretel's (Gemma Arterton) one-liners, which ease the ridiculous nature of the whole "killing witches for a living" thing. And speaking of those witches, along with seeing them get chopped up into pieces in mid-air, we also catch them on high-speed broomsticks and wearing costumes that may or may not have been recycled from "The Matrix."

The movie takes place 15 years after Hansel and Gretel experience a traumatic incident at the infamous gingerbread house, after which the brother-sister team dedicate their lives to becoming witch-slaying bounty hunters. Eventually, the two are recruited to save the town from an evil sorceress (Jansen), who is devising a plot to sacrifice local children in an upcoming ritual.

"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" also stars Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen, Thomas Mann and Zoe Bell, and opens wide on January 25, 2013.
