Another day, another piece of marketing pushing Harmony Korine's upcoming action-comedy "Spring Breakers."

Today, the brand new U.S. red band trailer shows what happens when squeaky-clean stars Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson party too hard with a trashy, philosophizing drug dealer named Alien (James Franco) while on Spring Break.

In addition to the previously-seen cavalcade of bikinis, slow-motion violence, booze, bong rips, coke, guns and knives, this one includes a visit to church, an apparent threesome, a look at rapper/co-star Gucci Mane, and more. We also learn more about Alien, a proud high school drop-out who seems to be living his own skewed version of the American Dream (including dollar sign rims on his ride).

It's actually quite a bit different from the previous red band trailer (complete with French subtitles), seen here.

"Spring Breakers" opens March 15 in NYC and L.A., before expanding wider March 22.
