I’m assuming Red Riding Hood fucks the Wolf. That’s the only way that the Bros Grimm story Little Red Riding Hood could be remolded for the Twilight crowd – which is what Warner Bros is apparently trying to do.
According to the LA Times the studio is working on a movie called The Girl With the Red Riding Hood, described as an updated version of the classic fairy tale, and they’re doing it with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. Their Riding Hood? Amanda Seyfried, who was great in the maliciously maligned Jennifer’s Body.
Says the LA Times:
The story is an update of Little Red Riding Hood, with the requisite dark/dangerous/romantic elements that can appeal to “Twilight” fans — while also attracting audiences who simply like the fairy tale. (The script has gotten high marks from power players around town, who describe it as elevated genre material a la this weekend’s “Shutter Island.”)
I like Seyfried and I still believe Hardwicke showed early promise on films like Thirteen and The Lords of Dogtown, so I’m not against it. Especially if the script is any good. And when you boil it all down, wouldn’t the updated version of this be a girl falls in love with Jame Gumb/Ed Gein? I’m there!

Cast Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro as the leads…oh wait!
I prefer a 3 Little pigs, with Amanda, Scarlett and Jessica Simpson.
Wasn't this already done with Reese Witherspoon and Keifer Sutherland? "Freeway" ?
Rabi is correct. This sounds like "Freeway redux."

NO! NO NO NO NO! *curls up on the floor, foaming at the mouth*
Honestly, what sort of friggin' romance is there to be found in Little Red Riding Hood?! If there's werewolves in it I'm going to crap out my internal organs in alphabetical order
The script was very good, and not in the least bit TWILIGHT-y. Yes, there is a young romance at the centre of it, but that's only one part of a very complex, intriguing mystery.
So unless there's major rewriting going on I would just put all this talk down to ill-informed publicity-speak.
Yuck. Give me 'The Company Of Wolves' any day over this tweenie shit.
maliciously maligned? Are you trying to get a date with Diablo Cody or something? That movie was terrible and you know it, you fat lying fuck.
As much as I don't like Twilight, it is fun to watch fanboy nazis have a stroke whenever there is a genre type film not marketed towards them. When something comes out that doesn't pander completely towards their demographic they act like a crime has been committed against them due to the fact that they live empty, hollow lives and this is all they've got going for them.
I thought everyone in Hollywood (and outside of it) hated C Hardwicke?
Honestly.
She was fired from Twilight because the suits were not all that happy with the work and the cast and crew were not all that happy with her.
She's working again?
I guess Hollywood loves 2nd chance stories.
