The first official trailer for the now-delayed film Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, has been released.

The film takes place fifteen years after the events at the gingerbread house, as the fairy tale siblings (Renner and Arterton) are now bounty hunters.

Take a look at the trailer below, via Apple.

The film was originally scheduled to be released this year, but Paramount delayed it until January, 2013. This is not a good sign, as films opening in the early months of the year typically, and I stress typically, are not very good.

What do you think of the trailer? Are you hoping for a success here?
