Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is Paramount Pictures’ upcoming dark take on the classic folktale. The story picks up where the old fairy tale left off: Years after the traumatic childhood incident with the witch’s gingerbread house in the woods, the two siblings have become bounty hunters who track down witches.
It was recently reported that Paramount was quietly test screening two different cuts of the film — a hard R-rated version and a sillier PG-13 one — to gauge audience reaction before settling on a final cut. Now word has come out that the film will definitively be released with an R-rating.
