Warner Brothers has released a trailer for the upcoming movie, “Red Riding Hood.”
The film is a retelling of the classic fairy tale, starring Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman and directed by Catherine Hardewick, who directed one of the “Twilight” movies.
Here’s the synopsis from Warner Brothers.
In Red Riding Hood, Seyfried plays Valerie, a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie’s older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon’s arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast-one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect … and bait.
Here is the trailer:
Intrigued at first. Then left feeling flat. I will wait for it to come out on video.
Mama Mia meets Twilight meets The Village? Sounds like a PASS to me.
I’m half expecting them all to break out in a song and dance and Meryl Streep coming out in 70’s garb.
I would have yawned bigger but my jaw would not allow for it.
Trailer looked good until I saw Twilight ion there and my interest dropped to the floor.
Meh!! Much like Twilight.
