What’s worse…biting someone else’s movie or grossly exploiting the popularity of your own previous?
I only ask because Warner Bros. just issued the first teaser trailer for Catherine Hardwicke’s RED RIDING HOOD, and even before the “from the director of TWILIGHT” credit seeps in…you can tell this thing is painfully reminiscent of the emo-vamp fest Hardwicke directed back in 2008. Not for nothing, at least this one has the super-sexy Amanda Seyfried…but does Gary Oldman really need to be prancing around in a froofy purple frock? For f*ck’s sake…
Also starring Virginia Madsen, Shiloh Fernandez, Billy Burke, Max Irons, Julie Christie, Michael Hogan, and Lukas Haas – RED RIDING HOOD takes place in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter and teams with him to hunt the wolf, much to her family’s displeasure.
RED RIDING HOOD slinks through theaters April 22nd, 2011.
