Imagine Little Red Riding Hood: a young woman walking through the hushed snowy woods wearing a bright red cape, she hears every sound and imagines the worst; looking over her shoulder terrified by what is out there, following her. A story more for grown-ups than for children, the photo above sets the mood for the new telling of a very old tale.

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is taking on the classic Brothers Grimm folktale and giving it a gothic/horror twist with werewolves, demons and Amanda Seyfried as Valerie, the title character, torn between two suitors. Hardwicke gives Seyfried lots of praise:

”I’ve never seen her like this in a role before,” raves director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight). ”She’s supersexy, wild. And those big eyes of hers are totally out of a fairy tale.”

I love this image – can’t wait for more. I am very excited to see what kind of energy and pulse this cast create: Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Lukas Haas and the almost Edward Cullen: Shiloh Fernandez.

The movie, now titled Red Riding Hood (it was originally The Girl with the Red Riding Hood) is set for March 2011 release.

Actress Amanda Seyfried is set to take on the lead role in The Girl with the Red Riding Hood. The film will be directed by the original Twilight helmer, Catherine Hardwicke and Seyfried feels she’s in great hands:

“I’m always kind of careful about what I choose,” Amanda said. “I had known [Catherine] kind of a little bit before, when I was dating Emile Hirsch [who worked with Catherine on 'Lords of Dogtown'], and I had been to her house before. That was years ago. And when I had met with her again, she talked about this movie. I completely fell in love with her idea and trusted her form that moment on, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m down.’ “

Hardwicke is putting together another amazing cast: Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons and (hopefully) Gary Oldman and Julie Christie. Just don’t expect this gothic update of the classic fairytale to be twilight-ish. Hardwicke says no way to the imitation.

I love how this is coming together. Seyfried seems great for this role and if you add Oldman – you can’t lose.

Amanda Seyfried’s latest film, the gothic thriller The Girl with the Red Riding Hood, has found it’s leading man. Actor Shiloh Fernandez is set to play Peter, the woodcutter that Seyfried’s character falls for. Catherine Hardwicke, director of the first Twilight movie, is setting the stage for the werewolf tale that reinterprets the classic fairytale.

Fernandez, who also has a part in Ashley Greene’s Skateland, (click here for a peek) was one of the final four actors Hardwicke had in mind for Edward Cullen.

Filming heads to Vancouver in July and the movie is due in spring of 2011.

With the full court press for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon underway, the young stars are giving LOTS of interviews and here is a new one from Robert Pattinson. The actor spoke about the differences the three directors (Catherine Hardwicke for the first film, Chris Weitz for the upcoming New Moon and David Slade for next year’s Eclipse) brought to the series of films. From the interview, Pattinson says that there will be even more fighting and action scenes for Eclipse than New Moon.

What do you think? Want more action? or more of the love story of Bella and Edward?

Don’t forget (not that anyone will!) The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens in theaters November 20th.
