Not quite sure what to make of it... not sure it would work but will see. I do like Amanda Seyfried.

 

[man123]

I'm the same way. I'm not sure I really understand the plot from the previews but at the same time it looks like it could be very good. Plus Amanda Siefried is a beautiful and talented actress and usually has some very good roles so we'll see I guess.

 

[freefall]

Sounds really interesting for me. Another twisted fairy tale free adaptation. Plus there's Gary Oldman!

I wish they would use Sarah Brightman's Red Riding Hood song in the movie... and her holographic big bad wolves...

 

[Hemsworthy]

This looks like it's gonna be awesome! Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried will probably carry this movie on their own...two good actors. It just sucks that some of the comments on youtube, no one's willing to give it a chance to the supposed Twilight-esque to it, and the fact it's directed by the director for Twilight.

I like that sample of Fever Ray's new untitled song, too =D

Oh please NO! NO! NO!

The main reason I posted this is because of Karin Dreijer Andersson's involvement with the title song. After seeing the preview LOUD in a theater I couldn't imagine anyone better.

New Fever Ray music to feature in upcoming film, Red Riding Hood

November 18th, 2010

Karin Dreijer Andersson and her live band members have written a new track for upcoming film, Red Riding Hood, the new offering from Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.

The film will be in cinemas from March 2011, but you can view the trailer and hear a snippet of the Fever Ray track here: http://redridinghood.warnerbros.com

*To clarify some incorrect information that has been circulating on the web: there won’t in fact be a cameo performance from Karin Dreijer Andersson / Fever Ray in the film, and Karin co-wrote the song with her Fever Ray band members - Christoffer Berg, Van Rivers, The Subliminal Kid & Liliana Zavala - with no involvement from any other party.

Oh, thank you for that! I know it was made way before my time, but I loved catching it on the Tex Avery Show on Cartoon Network.

As for the movie, I may check it out. I love Amanda Seyfried, so I'm hoping it will turn out well.

It looks like Twilight---minus the vampires! ugh......!

From the directors of Twilight

Oh boy.

I do like Amanda Seyfried so I won't write it off.

 

[arpeggi]

Gary Oldman is pretty much my favorite actor ever. I'd watch him in anything... including some piece of shit marketed as "from the director of Twilight" and starring Hollywood's most current forgettable ingenue.

 

[diamondstar]

Amanda Seyfried. Say no more, I gotta look into this.

 

[joesman]

It looks thrilling to me. The red against the snow, the love angle, the werewolf and Amanda. Sounds perfect to me.

 

[miaedu]

probably won't see this but real excited about the music.

I really like this review of it:

http://www.dose.ca/movies/Movie+Review+Riding+Hood/4423214/story.html?cid=dose_nav_drop

A laughable adaptation of the fairy tale, with Amanda Seyfried as a young girl torn between two bland love interests (Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons) in a medieval village being terrorized by a werewolf. Boring and artificial, with only a campy performance by Gary Oldman as a werewolf-hunter to recommend it.

Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Virginia Madsen

Rating: One and a half stars out of five

Once upon a time in a medieval village that looked like what would happen if you built a film set in a snow globe, there lived a hot little girl named Valerie (why Amanda Seyfried, what big lips you have). Valerie wore a red cape with a big hood, and so everyone called her Valerie.

The people in Valerie's village were all afraid because a big bad werewolf had been manufactured by the local special-effects company to come along and eat people every full moon.

The townsfolk set out livestock to mollify the wolf, but occasionally, it couldn't resist a human morsel. And so the village was called Daggerhorn.

However, Valerie had bigger fish to fry, because -- just like the hot little girl in Twilight, a story that would come along a few hundred years later -- she was torn between two men. She loved Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), who had dark hair and facial expressions that ranged from glaring to smouldering.

However, she was loved by Henry (Max Irons), who had blond hair and facial expressions that ranged from smouldering to glaring. This romantic triangle was of no interest, because Peter and Henry were the blandest love interests in all of Daggerhorn, but, unfortunately, the werewolf was never around when you needed it.

One day, a werewolf-hunter named Father Solomon came to town in an ironclad coach, with a troop of fierce men with silver arrows.

Father Solomon was played by Gary Oldman, who apparently had arrived from an entirely different movie, something far campier than Peter or Henry could have stood, and a lot more fun, from the sounds of it. Father Solomon not only said things like, "There's a big bad wolf and someone has to stop it," but he could glare and smoulder at the same time. Gary Oldman won an Emmy Award once. He also won a Razzie.

Father Solomon and his gang decided that someone in Daggerhorn must be the werewolf, and so they began a witch-hunt that was less like The Crucible and more like an Agatha Christie mystery if she had written one that took place in a medieval snow globe and involved a hammy detective gathering everyone together and saying that someone in this room was a wolf.

The suspects included just about everyone, including Peter and Henry, of course, but also the more famous actors who had come to Daggerhorn to play Valerie's parents (Virginia Madsen and Billy Burke) and her grandmother (why Julie Christie, what big over-qualifications you have).

This story was directed by Catherine Hardwicke -- who had made the first Twilight movie -- with an air of melodrama so artificial and lacking in tension, it was laughable. All the better to bore you with, my dear.

And they called it Red Riding Hood, and the people at a preview screening all had a good chuckle at some of the dopey attempts to scare them, and they all lived happily ever after, because they didn't have to watch it again.

People ran out of the movie, not stopping to talk with her, but the one guy she gotten ahold of seemed to enjoy it.

Suffice to say, if you think it looks good, go see it, if your on the fence like me, wait till it hits DVD or the interwebz.
